nBSG ep 4.16: "Deadlock" Talkback (SPOILERS)

[Skylon]

And we enter endgame, with only five more episodes to go.

[Johndug]

oh boy lets crank the jealosy facter in the cylon programming.

[TimothyC]

39,556 - so no change in the people count.

[Burak Gazan]

Starting to see more tangible signs of direct co-operative ops now, with that heavy raider part of the CAP under Starbuck's command -- nice touch . And is Adama freaked about that bio-goo or what?

[Johndug]

this ranks waaaayyyy to high on the F'ed up o meter

[Burak Gazan]

Head Six !

[TimothyC]

"Do you think after thousands of years of marriage I don't know your repertoire?"

PRICELESS

And Tigh is in so much trouble.

[Johndug]

"Caprica six is Pregant ?" eek!

[Johndug]

I never really thought of it but the way Ellen sees it Tigh is doing his daughter.

[Burak Gazan]

I thought about it, but didn't really want to say

And after thousands of years, Ellen Tigh is still the same pain in the balls apparently

[Johndug]

I didn't need that image.....

[Bilbo]

Does Adama have no fucking control on his ship that you have armed thugs left and right?

Also started to realize why I dont care who dies. People right on Galactica can barely get enough food. Yet Lee still have a perfectly clean nicely pressed suit.

Oh and there is plenty of booze for the military.

[Bilbo]

Tigh needs to solve this a second time and just feed the bitch a second mickie.

[Skylon]

I forgot how much fun having Head Six around was.

[Burak Gazan]

"My grandaddy was a power sander"
Ok, now I'm convinced there's something bad up with Adama, thats the 3rd or 4th time he's been popping pills and getting very drunk. This is not good.

And, Saul Tigh still rules

[Burak Gazan]

Aw

Damn her to hell, all for petty fucking jealousy

[Skylon]

Well, after moving at break-neck speed since 4.5 started this was an unexpected slow-down.

They're really pulling out Hera's competition as the "special baby".

[LadyTevar]

Tigh's "I shouldn't have to say it" monologue was beautiful. I had tears in my eyes as he ranted about it ... and then again as he went to Adama and bawled. "Liam. Short for William."

I'd not made the connection -- but I think Ellen was right. Saul loves Bill and the Galactica most of all, and Bill loves him right back.

[SylasGaunt]

I do like that we're starting to see more Baseship integration beyond the obvious repairs. We've got a heavy raider in the CAP and the cylon section of the big wall of the dead.

[xerex]

crap my cable went out.

what was Balter's proposal to Adama ?

[Galvatron]

crap my cable went out.

what was Balter's proposal to Adama ?

My guess is he offered his cult's services as the ship's militia.

[Slacker]

The redemption of Baltar theme continues, along with the idea of 'divided we fall, united we stand'. Really hitting the themes hard as they tie everything together. Redemption and unity.

The Tigh/Adama bromance is touching.

[xerex]

crap my cable went out.

what was Balter's proposal to Adama ?

My guess is he offered his cult's services as the ship's militia.

oh so they didnt actually show Balter convincing Adama to give him guns on screen.

[Slacker]

No, it's Baltar grabbing Adama's shoulder, cut to the crazy chick with the rifle.

[TimothyC]

Five out of Five. While not as fast as the other episodes in this back half, this one was still a move-the-plot-forward episode, and well written at that. I look forward to the podcast...

Edit: The pains Caprica was having seemed to be tied to Tigh's love for her. I wonder just how deep this "Love" component runs in the cylons.
