nBSG Season opening roundup(Spoilers, Damnit)

[Geronimo]

Has anybody involved with nBSG given any sort of explanation as to why there is a big 9+ month gap between this cliffhanger and the next season?

[DRoseDARs]

I'm going to guess either the producers or SciFi Channel itself is taking time off to focus on another project(s).

Spoiler:

Clearly the shot of Earth was centred on Utah intentionally.

I've heard speculation about going back to the Pegasus and looking at it.

[Eli]

What cliffhanger? It's not even coming close to the Boomer shooting Adama classic. Now that was a cliffhanger.

Btw, isn't it obvious that Starbuck is a Cylon? How could she survive that crash thingie? She most definitely woke up in a tub of goo.

[Addled Platypus]

but the viper she flying was a different style ?

SO the cylons make so called "Earth" produced viper to lead them into a trap...hmmmm

I say Adama's son is the last Cylon

[Kassiopeia]

The Viper Starbuck was flying was a Mk II, one of the old Vipers they had in the other hangar bay, since Galactica was set to become a museum. She's been flying a Mk II since forever. What was curious about it was that it looked squeaky clean.

I think Lee might have a Head Starbuck, actually.

[Lonestar]

So, does this mean that there's a second Human-Cylon Hybrid floating around? Cause that'll take away from Hera's import...

[Kassiopeia]

Yeah, from what I've read of RDM's interviews, Tyrol's and Cally's kid is definitely another hybrid. It's different in that its mother is a human and its father is a cylon, though, so you never know how that figures into it.

[Dr Strangelove]

IIRC in the old BSG Starbuck was rescued by some supernatural beings, who presumably were related to the gods. Could this be a replay of the old scenario?

Maybe she got picked up by Thor's ship and she comes back with reinforcements from Stargate Command.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

He's said there's not going to be a ship of lights in this version...we can only hope he doesn't change his mind.

[Admiral]

For those of us with absolutely no knowledge of oBSG, to this point how closely has the plot been mirrored?

[Whoha]

They actually have followed the old series in a bunch of ways. the Capture of Baltar, I think his trial. The Pegasus, its last stand(though it was left open as to whether or not the Pegasus survived). The constant need for resources, etc.

The fleet democracy, cylons being the invention of man, the cylon religion,etc are new though.

[Sava]

coming in 2008?

wtf is this bs?

The fourth of the Final Five is Tyrol and I can't really take for the other three credit because Sprayber floated the idea first.

I was having issues with the whole story line and was hating it right up till I saw it on screen. After actually seeing it, I'm starting to think that it has tremendous possilbilities and may end up blurring the line between cylons and humans. Which is what Moore has been saying throughout the season. Time and time again we have been told all this has happened before and will happen again.

I'm glad to see that the show addressed all the conquences of pretty much all the main characters at one time or another doing something that would have been considered an unforgivable act during normal times.

Adama's attempted coup
Tigh's suicied bombers
Apollo's pulling gun on Tigh and destroying the civilian ship
Rosiln sending people out the airlock
Starbucks disregard for superiors orders

Numerous more have all been forgiven, and now so has Baltar.

My favorite characters at the end of this season?
Tigh
Baltar
Adama
Apollo (very much redeamed in the last two episiodes)

I only hope Caprica Six gets more airtime next season.
