I think Kate Vernon is fervently hoping her Ellen Tigh character is a Cylon right about now . . . . the producers have been fairly up front in telling us a major character gets iced from the show fairly early into the season.
Right now, it looks like she's going to be elected.
How are their roads for transport vehicles to drive on in this new episode? The whole New Caprica world takes a big grain of salt to swallow.
The almost-execution scene was filmed at a real life gravel pit which, we would have to agree, wouldn't necessarily be out of line as one of the first things a new society might generate for a new community as it builds roads.
But, I agree, anytime they're on a planet and Hummers and standard military trucks show up, its starting to be a stretch . . . .
Ron Moore talked about stuff like that in various podcasts . . . . in "Downloaded," they had some French cars in the parking garage to give it a more exotic, foreign look. But in the episode where Starbuck piles into the Hummer they freely admit they just said "Frack it" instead of designing something unrecognizable.
I'm kind of interested in what happened to the human cops captured at the gravel pit . . . . we have a brief scene where a few of them are spread-eagled against a truck and under guard . . . . . were they shot out of hand, let go, joined the good guys? What happened to them?
Letting Cylons suffer instead of killing them outright seems to be the new "in" thing to do.
Nice to see some mysticism returning to the show. Lucy Lawless will chase Galactica across the universe to get that baby now. And Sharon is moving back to being untrustworthy now that she suspects the kid is alive.
The future motivation of Starbuck is becoming clear, the safety of Kasey.
I'll bet we're near the point where we lose Pegasus, perhaps rescuing Galactica.
Some overly sensitive people are getting on the Iraq connection:
