I'll try to fill in the explanations here as best I can.



Laura Roslin: Her anger comes from her preceptions of him after learning about , in her point of view, Baltar's actions that lead up to the attack on the colonies. It is soon followed by the debacle on New Caprica and well she being proved right about Baltar's administration. Then comes the occupation and the horror she and the others have witnessed down there on the ground.

Heck, even she admitted to Adama at the end of the episode that she went way over the line with how she treated Baltar during the episode.

Saul Tigh: He admitted early in Season 2 that he doesn't trust Baltar and helped out in rigging the election due to his mistrust of Baltar. It is soon followed by the events on New Caprica and the personal horrors that he witnessed himself (both as a witness and as an instigator of some of those horrors when fighting the Cylons and their human collaborators).


Felix Gaeta: He used to idolize Baltar so much during Season 1 and due to his loyalty, he finds out about the rigging of the election and ensures that Baltar is elected as president. That comes back to bite him in the ass as he witnesses what Baltar is truly capable of before the Cylons arrive and then Baltar's seeming easy compliance with the demands of the Cylons.


Adama: He feels the need to find someone to blame for the debacle on New Caprica, especially when Cloud 9 was destroyed by a nuke and he wasn't allowed to investigate. Also there are other issues that I can't think off the top of my head.


By the way, I'm surprised that they didn't mention about the note Adama received at the end of the miniseries in which it was explicitly stated that there were only twelve Cylon models (considering the fact that Baltar mentions the Final Five in Adama's presence).

It was different, I'll give it that. But I don't really buy any of it.

spoilers follow (in grey - highlight to read)

I don't buy that Tigh, Tyrol, Tory & Anders are cylons just because they heard music. Like Tigh said, he's been in the military since the original cylon war. Doesn't make sense. Tyrol's got a kid with Callie ... why's Athena still so special to 6 if she's no longer unique?

I don't buy that Kara went to Earth and came back to guide the fleet there. I'd be willing to buy that she's a cylon, but bringing her back after just 1 ep and saying she made it to Earth? Nope, not for me.

Most importantly, I don't buy that the creators have any idea where they're going with this story, which I think is why we have to wait 9+ months for the new season.


The ep was a lot of flash & style, but I'm guessing it makes about as much sense as the third Matrix movie (which is to say, none at all).

They are Cylons. Just not the same as the Cylons we know. Great post-finale interview with Ron Moore:

Since nobody has posted it here yet, I guess I will do it.


The Sci-Fi channel has just announced that the 4th season of BSG will be the last season for the series.

First they're going to do a small story about the Pegasus before she meets up with the Galactica and then start off the 4th season which will air next January if I recall correctly.
