I finally bought Season One on DVD, and I've seen 2 or 3 episodes from Season Two. I've seen both eps from Season Three so far, and......I'm hoping the next ep resolves this and we can get back to the story.

Holy cow!! Tonight's episode was GREAT!!!

Posted: **Sat Oct 21, 2006 2:09 am**

WOW! I couldn't believe it! Each scene was more startling than the previous one! And at the end I wanted to pull open my chest and rip out my heart - it sure felt like someone was already doing just that.

WOW! WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!

Tonight's episode was unbelievable.

All I can say is thank you Saul!

It's nice to hear the above posts. Sounds like I'll enjoy season 3 as much as I'm enjoying season 2.

Whilst biologically incapable, I offer myself as the bearer of Ron Moore's love-child.

Ditto! It's brilliant - just brilliant! I didn't think I'd EVER be able to feel bad for Tigh. Even if they poked his eye out with a stick and served it to him with bacon and toast.

But now I just want to give him a big 'ole teddy bear hug! Ah! Must ... hold ... back ... the ... tears ............

I understand where you're coming from, but I thought the guy kind of proved himself in the original mini-series when he made the hard decision about cutting off the air-locks. He's a "loser", but Adama saw something in him before he took command.

That said, I haven't seen the episode you're talking about but your recommendation is making me salivate. I'm just glad that it seems the standard hasn't dropped.

MAN! Just amazing!! Yeah, Saul's part was beyond belief!

Starbuck's was also great. I wasn't entirely surprised, but still...

And when Lee looked around and said, "Thank you." Incredible visuals, tactics, everything.

WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!!!!

Oh yeah. "Thank you", and the quiet way he delivered that line.

I just ordered the two Season 2 sets from Amazon today, can't wait 'till they come in.

Again, I haven't seen the episode you're talking about.

But I'm not surprised to hear that Jamie Bamber delivered a great piece of acting. I'm a big Hornblower fan and he was wonderful in that.

Another drop-dead good one!

I loved the ending. Who could really argue against Zarek's reasoning? As wrong as it is in practice, he may have been right that things would have torn themselves apart otherwise. Good philisophical discussion stuff which is typical for the series. His mistake? He TOLD them in the end. That's the kind of thing that if you do it you keep it to yourself. Although it did push Roslyn to an excellent final decision on the matter - she was clearly going in the other direction before Tom told her what he did.

So (tying this into Runes) - can good come from evil acts? (although the question is probably better stated, "SHOULD good ever come from evil acts")

I was very impressed and pleased with her decision. Of course, not everyone, here or in the series, will agree. I can't imagine there wouldn't be those who are not happy with it, and, whether we see it or not, keep going for the "badguys."

Of course it can. But that doesn't mean the ends justifies the means. It just means that...

Romeo wrote:(although the question is probably better stated, "SHOULD good ever come from evil acts")

...we should always try to make good come from every act. When confronted with evil, try to spin it.

Fracking missed it last night.

Stupid bar.....

Fracking missed it last night.

Me too - damn DVR for some reason isn't recording, even though I have BG set as priority #1. PISSED.

Gosh, other than B5, who would've expected the epsiode after a 1/4 season Occupation arc to be darker than the occupation arc itself?

They really dove into the ramifications. You two have got to watch the episode, if you can find it on line or some other means.

Well, after two weeks it seems fairly official. Channel Ten here in Australia has axed BG halfway through the second series. It's been replaced by "Wild Turkey Celebrity Joker Poker".

I actually don't mind televised Poker, but this is truly ridiculous.

That's just wrong...

Certainly some interesting things last night! Adama confronting Starbuck and Tigh was great!!

And Baltar truly has become the traitor he was in TOS. Little piece of shit.
