Did anybody else watch the blurb at the end that was cut from the scene between Helo and Adama? Yeah. And I'm kinda . . . why have it be a deleted scene? If there are going to be consequences from Adama knowing that he killed the cylon prisoners, then we needed to have the scene for it to make sense. And if they're not going to have consequences, then why have the scene at all? Unless they meant it to be one more "Helo is an outsider, siding 'too much' with the Cylons, not helping the humans enough" etc .etc. And so it adds to the general theme but isn't needed, per se. I felt the same way. No point to the "extra" scene. It felt like they were just trying to force people to come back after the last commercial break.

Okay, first off - was this whole refugee situation a single line that I spaced in an earlier ep or something? Neither Dave nor I could remember WHY Galactica is hosting a refugee camp.... They were overcrowded when they got off New Caprica. I think maybe not all the ships got the ground. They lost Pegasus for sure. Then they lost more ships going through that nebula thing. Yeah; I was wondering when it was made explicit, is all - since they just assumed we all knew about "the refugee camp". And neither of us did.

As I understand it he does it cause he is infatuated/in love with Six. Is she as a Cylon gone and fallen in love with Baltar? I think there's more to it than that, personally. When it was just Baltar imagining Six, I figured he was a whack job. But since we started seeing that she also imagines him, and in the same way (pseudo-protective advice giver/taunter), I've started to think there's something else going on here - that these manifestations are due to something other than just overactive hallucinatory imaginations. Yeah. I have to agree. It's too much to be just that the two of them have the same type of imaginary encounters.

All the dvd's have deleted scenes, but in the commentaries/podcasts included on the dvd's Ron Moore usually comments what what they initially intended to do but skipped because of time, because it was more easily handed without or did not in the final version serve the story well. So, yeah, why do it live on the air? I know that ABC does all these "hidden scene" teasers the next day for Lost (also usually discarded for various valid reasons, but imitating ABC should not be Sci-Fi's game plan. leftylady

So, how does an entire planet of Space-Gypsies/Space Amish/Space Untouchables actually manage to get off-planet in the first place? I find the Sagitarons a little.... over-the-top, as are the reactions to them. I thought the ones that everyone had the problem with were the Gemonese.
And what the hell does the title mean?

I felt the same with the Geminon fundamentalists and the issue it raised way back when the Geminon youngster stowed away to come get an abortion on Galacatica. An explanation would be...interesting.

So far as I know, it wasn't mentioned at ALL before the previouslies for this episode: but I think it's in the starboard-side docking bay nacelle: where the gift shop was supposed to be, in the part of that nacelle that isn't given over to the new "beyond-thunderdome" type officer's and enlisted's club.

I called Greg to ask him the same thing; he assured me it never came up before the previouslys. So I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one going "huh?"

I felt the same with the Geminon fundamentalists and the issue it raised way back when the Geminon youngster stowed away to come get an abortion on Galacatica. An explanation would be...interesting. My fanwank is as follows . . . . I'm kind of comparing them to like the Mennonite or Amish families you see traveling on the train when you go from here to Chicago. A group of people that generally shun modern stuff, but who have to interact sometimes when the distances are just too great. It makes a nice comparison because you usually see families traveling together on the train. So it would be logical that the few Sagitarans who happened to be traveling thru space were doing it in family groups - we saw more family members among them - not just the growing number of babies and small children that have been added to a mostly adult population since the fleet first formed. And their relatively small number, combined with the way they seem to "stick to their own" would likely increase the amount of hostility they face in a refugee situation. So, how's that fanwank!
