I have faith that the suits at Sci-Fi are smart enough to leave the show alone when it's producing for them. Everything will be ok.

I thought last night's was fantastic, and is back on par with anything else they've done. What a great show and I'm going to miss it now until season 3.

I know! Bastards!!!! And yeah, it WAS a great episode. Actually at first the music in the opening threw me off as it was guitar-heavy and seemed a departure from the ususal score... but them I realized the overlapping stories were combining with the score to build a really good tension.

Oh and Dean Stockwell-

When he started talking, my first thoughts were identical to that of the Chief..."What kind of a priest is this?" talking about prayer never being listened to and so on.

We've only seen 4 or 5 of the humanoid cylon models...maybe the priest is one too.

Very much enjoyed the latest episode - and left with me the feeling for immediately needing to see the series finale as soon as the credits rolled on this ep

Poor Chief Tyrol - seems like Ron Moore has a penchant for punishing anyone who carries the rank of Chief in one of his shows (Chief O'Brien from TNG & DS9 regualary was regulary emotionally and physically abused and tortured)! Perhaps he never got on with the engineers and non/coms from his navy days...

Baltar is a joy to watch - so slimy and scheming - it's a joy to watch

A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

My take on this particular part of the ep was "Typical Hollywood version of religion: Make it psycho-therapy and use a non-religious religious person and people will be happy". Been there done that.

However the ep as a whole was brilliant as usual. I hate the guy who plays Baltar. It's like "Well, you're going to have an amazing part that people will talk about for decades, make lots of money, and oh yeah, you get to have this blonde crawl all over you almost every time you're on screen". Jack ass.

I'd say... yes AND no. Remember that one of the themes of the show is the impending death of polytheism and the slow and steady approach of monotheism. The pantheon of gods (plural) that the colonials follow (figuratively and literally if the President is any sort of prophet) are seemingly *not* filling the human needs. The Cylons, at least earlier in the series, were strongly pushing the 'One True God' who would help them do whatever it is they really want in the end.

With the priest I see one of two things-
1) If he IS a Cylon it would make sense to dimish the role of the 'gods'. That would help their agenda. Imagine a full sermon of that stuff to large amounts of colonials. I truely feel the best way to cause change is from within and that might be another version of what the Cylons are up to.
2) If the priest is NOT a Cylon then there could be many personal-to-the-character reasons for being like that. Maybe he lost his faith. Maybe he's been around the colonial military too much. Maybe he's trying to help root out Cylons, etc. Maybe he just recognized the best way to help one individual in one situation. We'll see.

i noticed one thing, maybe it was a mistake in teh screenplay, maybe i am over analyzing. but when he gets fed up with the cheif, he goes "for gods sake man" not "for the gods sake" suggesting a single god, it seems that int eh show they have always made a note to be plural when refering to god, this time he wasnt.

You're right- I had noticed the same thing. It *might* just have been his way of delivering the line but you never know.

Saw that myself. That's part of my thinking that he might be a cylon.

Yes. Such a long wait. Wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a 3 month break in the middle of the season in addition to hiatus between seasons.

I guess with my impending parenthood (supposedly looking like +/- 48 hours at this point) I'm not looking much past the finale of this season. I'll have time to mourn the loss of the season in a couple of weeks.
