Occupation/Precipice

So what did everyone think?



I've been wondering: what did Starbuck use to kill Leoben (the first time)? It looked like an ice pick, but with 2 prongs.

Doesn't Leoben know that Starbuck is married? Wouldn't trying to seduce her mean he's trying to lead her to sin (adultery)?

D'anna calls Baltar's Six "Caprica" -- interesting touch.

Ellen may have some redeeming qualities after all. She obviously does not enjoy whoring herself out to the Cylons, but she does it to get her husband back. She is misguided into thinking that she can trust the Cylons to do anything, and it looked like she's going to betray them in order to save Tigh from being taken away.

Kat as CAG, Helo as XO - cool. It's weird that everyone is so out of their element though. The show has really gone in a strange direction. The writers and producers have taken a big chance on this. Now, I stay away from spoilerage, but I have heard that maybe they only stay on New Caprica for a few more episodes--by which time we would return everyone to their usual positions on Galactica (Starbuck in the cockpit, Chief on the deck, etc.), but the interpersonal relationships would still be all different.

It was nice to see the president's aide again. I like her.

Why does Baltar back out of the graduation ceremony? Did someone tip him off?

Isn't their whole "secret code" a little transparent? Wouldn't the Cylons be watching Gaeta's every move? Why couldn't they just check the drawer instead of watching for the upside-down food dish? Does anyone ever feed that poor dog? :)

If the Cylons really do think that the holocaust was a mistake, why don't they just leave the remaining humans alone? Why all the heavy-handed tactics (curfews, centuriouns)? Is it because they think they need to "convert" them to monotheism? Why the strong desire to "work together" and build some brave new world? They Cylons really are bizzare creatures--they are so religious and yet they killed billions of people, think it's ok to torture people, think it's ok to steal Starbuck's ovary, etc, etc. When you get down to it they're even more screwed up than the humans.

Starbuck killed Leoben with a pair of chopsticks. Metal ones, I think. RDM refers to them as chopsticks on the podcast.

I wondered the same thing! But only thought is that they since both the informant and the resistance fighter want/need to remain anonymous, they can't risk running into each other at the drop-off site. Though....couldn't they just as easily run into each other at the dog bowl? Eh, *handwave*

Anyone else having problems downloading the podcast? Every time I try I get a 404 sci fi page. :(

I WANT PODCAST!

I had a hard time getting a hold of it too, but I finally found this link: http://galacticastation.com/episodes/podcast/SE3/301.htm

WARNING: That page lists the episode titles of the next 12 or so episodes, which you may or may not consider spoilers. I shielded my eyes as I made the necessary clicks to download the podcast, but maybe you're a spoiler lover and wouldn't mind that. :)

Because stopping to pet a dog every single day is a lot less suspicious-looking than checking an abandoned filing cabinet every single day.
