I wonder how this will be resolved. Will Boomer reveal that Baltar knew all along?

As soon as Boomer shot the commander, I wondered what would happen to Baltar's detector now that everyone would think it was flawed.

This is what I thought at first. When they tortured that cylon he mentioned before he died that that captain was a cylon. I thought Boomer was actually trying to do something to help everyone out.

Not sure if this is the case now.

IIRC, nobody else knows she was tested.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

That tortured Cylon mentioned that the captain was a cylon (mid 1st season).

I thought that by boomer shooting the captain she was actually helping because she also knew. Who knows.

[Eug Wanker]

I assumed that that cylon was just trying to fsck with everyone's minds.

P.S. To the people in charge of releasing season 1 on DVD... If you don't release it soon, I'm just gonna download them all, or else just record it off TV myself. If you release it soon, I'll buy TWO sets (especially if it includes some extras).

It will be interesting to see what happens when H.264 hits...

It is supposed to come out on the 27th of this month.

Yeah, I was looking into this some more, and it's supposedly Best Buy only, on the 26th. I was hoping for a general release soon, but it doesn't seem it will be for general release until the end of September. Best Buy has the exclusive for 2 whole months? What confuses me too is that it still says it's the UK version, but it's been formatted for North America.

The good news is the price. It's US$48.99. That's reasonable. The initial rumoured price was US$69.99.

The bad news is it doesn't show up on the Canadian Best Buy website at all. It doesn't help me much if it's a US-only Best Buy exclusive.

Now that would be interesting.

[JHromadka]

BTW, for those interested in getting the BSG Season 1 on DV, Universal has posted the info on it. Remember that the version in Best Buy stores next week does not have the miniseries on it. The version that comes out in September will have the ms and more features.

I think it is wishful thinking though but I was rather impressed with my own guess

Looks great. Damn I knew I shouldn't have bought the miniseries DVD. I've heard many of the commentaries (aka Podcasts)] already but there seems to be some knew ones. The only thing that worries me a bit is that each disc is about 3 hours. The quality on the miniseries DVD is fairly poor because of this.

I've already downloaded them all (shhh), so I guess I can wait until September 20.

[Severed Hand of Skywalker]

2 DVD releases within months of the same thing is rather retarded.

At any rate I just watched the ep called 33. Some interesting things happened. What are the odds that the one person that knows about Baltar is also on the traitor ship that baltar needs to convince them to destroy. I hope this isn't a coincidence.

I agree. However, they KNOW some people are going to buy both.

I'm guessing the 7/26 release will not be picked up by all retailers. They probably just wanted a Season 1 release available during the Sci-Fi.com airings of Season 2, which have already started.

[RAILhead]

My understanding was that the 26th release was a Best Buy only thing.

Yeah, sounds like it. If we Canucks get it too in our Best Buys then I'll get one of those for my nephew, and then get the full version for myself in September.

Come on Best Buy Canada!

Burn yourself a copy before you give it to him.

I'm curious if the Moore's solo commentaries for season 1 are just his podcasts.

[JHromadka]

It was a good episode tonight.

The metal Cylons (sentinels I think they called them) are badass. Too bad we didn't see too much of them. The Chief looked like he was going to lose it for a minute, and I swear in Baltar's vision I was waiting for Adama to baptize that baby. I think 6 is setting up Baltar to try to kill Adama in case he lives thru those gunshot wounds.

Probably.

Anyways, it looks like we Canadians aren't getting that NTSC-ified Battlestar Galactica UK version at Best Buy. I went to one today and they have no listing for BSG for July 26. So I'm just gonna get my nephew a season of 24 instead.
