Is there any place to download true 1920 HD torrents or what is the largest size around? I've watched every show in order and bought all the DVD's but still I hunger for more.
This picture should give a clue as to how insidious the cylon threat really is...

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

The 1st one to show up was XVID 624 X 352, 23.98 fps, and came in at 275 MB.
Definately not HD, but it looked good. Better than most last season, in fact.

Better quality than what you get on iTMS as well.

Alright something is really bothering me about this episode.
SPOILERS. Don't read this if you haven't seen the episode.
About the resurrection ship. It is there because they are too far from the homeworld and need to breed more human Cylons.
First, this ship is massive, it looks like they are creating them by the thousands. Why do they need so many? It is not like the human Cylons are dropping dead in masses. Why can't they just keep extras on the baseStar? We already saw there are a about 10 or so Boomers on one of the base stars (it was nuked though).
Also, out of all the pictures Starbuck took of the ship it was rather convenient she only got a shot on the Six Cylon and not some unknown ones.
I also don't understand how with the FTL drive they can only jump certain distances. It was established that a small Cylon Raider can jump ALL the way back to kobol in one shot so why not back to the Cylon home world to get human Cylon refills. Even if it is too far why not leapfrog? Jump half way there, make adjustments, jump the rest of the way.
Something that bothered me from the start, why can't a Cylon ship light jump right next to the battlestar, hit them with a nuke and move on? Same goes for Galactica. They always seem to have to jump 5 min away from the other ships.
Geeky but I have to ask.
I also hope they go back to Kobol to rescue those resistant cells and not just drop the story.
IF Adama goes through with the assassination next episode how can he justify it to the Pegasus crew? The first reaction might also be to shoot Starbuck the second she pulls the trigger. I get a strong feeling the Pegasus' 1st officer is going to turn on the Admiral and not go through with the assassination.

That's not the problem. The problem is the Cylons can't beam all the way back to the Cylon homeworld when their bodies die because it's too far away. They need a closer ship to beam back to.

Well, if you had the ability to build sexy female robots, wouldn't you build them by the thousands?

I figured the resurrection ship is necessary to transfer their consciousness or whatever. The entire thing looked like some kind of giant antenna. And they have a lot of shells because they really don't want to run out.

It's probably the same explanation they used for warp drives on Star Trek. Such a maneuver would be very difficult to plot correctly and incredibly risky.

I don't care if you're gay or not, you'd still be building sexy female robots.
