Let`s all remember that caprica-6 is the one who fell in love with Gaius in the Mini-series! The lead guy who stole from Gaius`s cult was Kat`s boyfriend they used to be smugglers before the fall of the colonies.

Yes! One of my favorite BSG episodes.

You know, if someone said, "My grandpa survived the Holocvaust" you wouldnt exactly picture someone like Gaius, weaseling through it somehow.

Gaius' role is simple, self-preservation and ego. He does whatever saves his skin whenever necessary. And when he feels safe, he does whatever polishes his ego. BTW, another thing that makes Liam's loss so profound for Caprica Six is that she was the one who was fascinated with a human baby in the miniseries and started to cry after killing it.

32:42 Plus it's about Bill not caring Saul was Cylon, in that moment his friend needed him. And now I'm crying again.

William was a name of germanic origin made of two elements meaning will and helmet, hence Wilhelm. It arrived in France with the Germanic Franks, who ultimately gave the country its name. Later it arrived in England with the Norman conquest, and eventually made its way to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Liam is an Irish shortened form of the name, which spread to other parts of the world following the Great Irish Famine.

Gaeta and Zarek's failed revolution was, in part, to prevent Cylons from integrating into the fleet. Due to the large number of pilots who joined the mutiny and are now incarcerated, Galactica can only assemble a CAP by integrating Cylons pilots. The mutiny had the exact opposite impact.

Indeed! In ye not so olden times, praying to God to intervene was always an act of desperation or ego. Miracles (or their reports) were no longer God’s M.O., ever since Jesus and his travelling band did the Middle East Grassroots Speaking Tour. In modern times, the notion of the “power of prayer” returned, especially in the USA (thanks, Televangelists). For some, it now takes the place of action and responsibility. “I did my part,” say the supplicative Christians. When I was still Christian (back when Billy Idol was the saviour, big hair was beautiful, and Superman was the greatest superhero movie ever made) prayer as a substitute for action would’ve been considered a dereliction of Christian duty. Now, it’s a hall pass for apathy.

Liam is a short form of the Irish name Uilliam or the old Germanic name William. Or so says Wikipedia. Lol. And I don't know if you caught this but the combat air patrol that Starbuck was leading when she intercepted Boomer was made up of Vipers AND cylon heavy raiders. Together.

Finally I have caught up to all your BSG reactions.

With mother like Ellen I wonder where Cavil could have ever came up with his sparkling personality.

Funny isn't it? 'Cylon Ellen' resurrecting in the last episode was like a completely different person ... the second she's back with Tigh she's just toxic Ellen once again! I'd forgot how heartbreaking this episode was: bad enough Adama was trying to hold it together as his beloved battlestar was 'cylon-ified'.... but just when that hits you, Caprica-6 losing her baby just takes a sledgehammer to what's left of your feelings, and Saul going to find Adama and breaking down in his arms is just gut wrenching! Everyone is great in this episode as always, but one thing watching your reactions has made me realize is just how often the excellent Michael Hogan steals the frakkin show, & this is another fine example! Can't wait to see you react to episode 17 - no spoilers, but it's really the beginning of the end!

I had a feeling, so I went back to check Ellen's introduction in the series, and sure enough, sitting cross-legged in a Raptor, face obscured. Different dress though.

Ellen died on new Caprica during the end of the occupation and at that time the resurrection hub was in range. No such luck for Anders, with the hub destroyed and no resurrection facility nearby, like any other cylon, if he die it is over.

Also, the vulnerability that Saul and Adama with one another is beautiful. They are both very masculine, military men, but that doesn’t prevent them from loving one another deeply.

Adama has such love for his Battlestar which in essense is just a machine.

I think that in a universe where metaphysical concepts like prophesies and visions (and by extension a guiding intelligence like god) are demonstrated to be real, the idea that an emotional bond like love as a metaphysical necessity for procreation is not a big leap to accept. How does accepting one spiritual/metaphysical requirement make accepting another one more difficult?

Can’t wait to see what you think of the next episode. One of my favorites of the whole series.

One thing I think this show glossed over is how little the cylons knew, and the fact that they all had their minds wiped by the #1 / Cavil. You would think it would be an important, emotional, and controversial surprise that everyone would want to talk about. Adama would love to know that there was one cylon model orchestrating everything. The 6's and 8's would love to know that they were secretly betrayed and that "majority rule" wasn't actually the cylon way according to Cavil. But instead everyone acts like half this shit never happened. I also agree that Chief and the others having totally new personalities now and wanting to leave immediately doesn't make sense either and wasn't explained. As far as we know, they don't have their entire memories back, so all their memories are just of living like normal people, and for them to want to hop onto a crippled ship with nothing and nobody they're familiar with and disappear into the void when they're being hunted by Cavil who has all their actual technology and can't be defeated by them... just makes no sense. And even if they did have all their memories back, their home was a normal planet with millions of people, so why would they want to leave their new civilization behind and just hang out with their children? Shrug, it's normal for shows to rush and stumble toward the end, I guess. It's still good.

You get me though my work day. When you finish BSG you have to watch Farscape. ❤

The next episode after this one is one of my top favorite episodes.

How did Boomer find Galactica when the whole Cylon fleet is looking for it?

As you may have noticed. Now the Cylons and Humans are trying to live together, uniting into something new, upgrading the Galactica and Baseship, looking for a new home and even dying together. It will not be easy, but for the sake of ending the cycle of hatred, we must at least try to unite. P.S. By the way, the last Five flew relatively only a few years, but in reality 2000 years. They had engines that could fly at the speed of light.

Bill Adama's father also lost children before the first Cylon war to find out more about it you have to check out the prequel series Caprica. It was set about 57 years before the Battle Star Galactica mini series.

I never thought little Gaius was Baltar's baby, his father was another Gaius. It's a subtle way to show Baltar he's not as special as he thinks he is. There must have been a lot of people in the 12 colonies called Gaius, maybe even Gaius Baltar. The kid looks old enough to have been born before the exodus anyway...

RE: Organic Technology - Last episode you were sort of hating on it. Though it gets a bad rep in this show (and worse in Babylon 5, heh, heh, heh).

I'm just glad to have a few episode without the Starbuck drama-mama. We've had so many episodes that centered on her arc, and yes, I know it'll pick up again, just a nice break. It's not so much of an issue of Saul and Caprica losing a child, as much as it shows that a cylon pairing is possible. What I do find a bit disturbing about the cylon downloading process, is that there aren't different ages. I know the casting would sky-rocket to include teen-aged versions of existing cylons, but doesn't it just seem strange that Ellen came back as the same age as when she died? What about a much younger, more attractive and vibrant version of herself? I mean, at some point in time, Saul was young, he had hair, and Ellen too would have been of the same age. Then some 20 years later, the other F5 versions would have been 'born/created'. Or did they just pop in, aged 25-30 and integrated into the fleet, or civilian positions. I question Tori, was she always such a wench, proud of her cylon heritage, or whatever element set her apart? Afterall, at some point in history Tori and Galen were a thing. Was he different way back when too, perhaps more cynical, or did he always have a soft spot for the down-trodden? I guess what we got is what we got from the writers. Did Anders from the past fall in love with a woman named Cara Thrace, or was it just that he fell in love with the Harbinger of Death? I could almost imagine him have a tattoo of her face on his arm, a woman he only saw in his dreams. Who were the basis of the 7 cylon models? We know Ellen based 'John' on her father, but what was the precursor to Caprica, or Sharon.. were these scientists, love interests, or were these just 'examples' of humanity, packed into nice neat little digital packages? It's sad to watch these last few episodes, it's almost as if we have come full circle. Watching them grow, emote, and fail. As a viewer, those that we hated in the beginning, we've come to have respect for... and that is great work on behalf of the writers. Still, there still feels like there was so much more 'show' to watch. Probably best to end it when they did, how they did it, and leave us with that one final question... "All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.... Unless?"

This is around the time that fans started referring to the show as Battlestar Alcoholica.

3:02 "Where do battlstars go when they die?

That guy was the drug guy , cat. Wanted food.

It was so unpredictable of how Ellen was going to react about Saul and Caprica being together. Didn't know if she was going to think as a scientist and thrilled that there was going to be a pure Cylon child, or was so going to be insanely jealous and wants to destroy them. Doc Cottle saying to not unplug anything, we had an x-ray tech bring a portable x-ray machine into the ICU and she unplugged a ventilator...twice, true story.

Obligatory No One is Safe

William is Germanic, Liam is an Irish diminutive of William. If you think about it this falls into the theme of the show that you should be seeing at this point. Humanity is a creation over time of many different parts just as names are related to each other from a past root. The question still is what does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be Cylon? Is there a difference? We all started the show thinking they were just machines. As Star Trek "A Measure of A Man" said are we not all just machines created by our parent? Is how we treat them about us more than it is about them? Are they new life and part of humans that we have created. How is our humanity now defined? Its a sloppy ending to these themes but they are all there.

Sorry I missed the fact that I misspelled Gaius' name.

William isn't a Scottish name, it's German and got to Britain with the Norman conquerors.

Ouch, a reaction to one critical scene has been edited out! Approx. half of the episode... Can't say anything but I hope others have noticed too? Got just a glimpse and then, pouf, next scene.

Saul and Starbuck have the best arcs in the series imo. I hated them at the beginning and they ended up as some of my favorite characters on tv.

Always felt that Tyrol voting to leave was purely a story point to make Ellen the deciding factor and nothing else. It doesn't really follow who his character is.

@@clarkmichaels822 It's funny because whenever I rewatch season 4 I'm filled with the feeling that they were struggling with filling the time and resorted to dragging out shaggy dog stories like Tigh's prison rape affair and Gaius's cult, with just a few spots of focused storytelling like the mutiny, catching up with Ellen, and the Earth reveal. They had plenty of room for Tyrol if they cut out more of the garbage.

Back in the day , there were two "crossfires" between argumentative fans who just couldn't concede : The Atheists VS everyone else , and the Cavil was the representation of the 'perfect atheist / nihilist ' VS everyone else . Speaking of the second supposition ... -- not so recently I saw a meme that reminded me of Cavil (aka mr. "God is dead") : The meme had a Bible burning, with people cheering about the death of God , while the second panel had someone cracking open a book titled "Is beastiality wrong ?" -- signifying the "no guard rails (of morality) for the people who think that God is dead) . Cavil represented that attitude, throughout BSG -- from never doubting the exterminaton of the humans, to essentially sleeping with his "mother" Ellen , to showing an interest in dissecting her brain . There are no breaks as far as Cavil is concerned , no constraints nor boundaries are needed . And from what I've learned from religious folks -- the above sentence for them encapsulate Atheists as a whole , while Atheists have a very different view of themselves and religious folks .

But.........wasn't it Boomer who shot Adama, way back when?

Reintroducing us to Ellen as wise, loving, and motherly, then flipping back to the Ellen we started hating, then drifting back towards something in between was amazing. On the Anders-Liam connection and the baby's death, as I recall Liam started kicking right after Anders' brain activity flatlined. Was it cause and effect? If so, which was which? Maybe they had nothing to do with Tigh loving Six? Maybe everything? Nasty, nasty writerses. We hates them. 😆 Gaius is the perfect example of why defining God(s) according to the interpretation of individuals is flawed. If a kid tells you her grandma makes cookies from love, sunbeams, and giggles, do you assume grandma isn't real, or that the kid doesn't know how grandma makes cookies? If you really understand how the brain works, particularly the Cylon brain, you really should publish and collect your Nobel Prize. 😉

So, Liam = William = Bill…Adama…

Two things. I don't think Tory's journey to realize the meaning and focus of her existence needs to conform to the path that appears to be congruent to the greater community which is noted as having started to form in this episode. We dont really know much of her backstory (and it can certainly be argued the character was shoehorned in), but as with everyone else depicted, she was presented with a new life paradigm she had to process and if her determination was that it should be as a Cylon, away and apart from humans, full stop, it's a choice that's as valid as any other we've seen. One can claim, at least, she didn't hold Cavil's determination about what the fate of humans should be. Now, you must be aware of choices she makes going forward by this point (as well as her fate, which is a different story), so I'll just say the view of what she comes to support, also doesn't hold fast to a steadfast oppositional nature, as you're positing here. On a briefer note, as you brought it up again in the opening, ultimately, Lee hardly can be cited as a font of wise decision-making in the way Roslin counsels him to pursue. I have to imagine you already know exactly what I'm referring to, but as it's a huge matter which I'd comment on a bit, I'll hold off doing so until the time is right in your airing schedule!!!

I did half expect them to lose the child because otherwise Hera is no longer special as the only Human/Cylon hybrid

Hera would still be special, as a half-breed. The baby would of been pure Cylon. Both important, but not the same nor affect each others role

I had a moderate "we're really spinning our wheels for the final season huh" feeling about Gaius's cult and Tigh's prison rape-based affair, so to the extent I even thought about them, neither one really amounting to anything was not a shocker.

Hope you react to X-Men 97. The midway point was just reached. Screencrush released a 37 minute recap video of the key points of the original series if you wanna familiarize yourself before jumping in. The new show is surpassing the original.

The civil war plotline was much longer. With the war and the mutiny the Galatica is short marines. Roslin , Bill and the Cylon considered using Centurions as a food security force.

I absolutely despised the Ellen Tigh character when I saw this series the first time, and I find the character just as repellant now as I did then.
