Well that's a shame but most people aren't home watching TV friday and saturday night.

At any rate what is with this "End of line" bit suddenly? I know they said it in the original series and in the Pilot for no reason.

Also why is D'Anna suddenly having visions of the baby cradle in the hall that was once Baltars projection? Do you think having sex they end up sharing thoughts and memories?

True, but most people aren't watching TV that late on Sunday night either.

Aside from the Tron reference, it seems to have something to do with the Cylon concept of death. Some have theorized that whenever the Hybrid says it, it means that a Cylon has either died or downloaded nearby.

I've only recently bought the mini series + season 1 + season 2. FInally watched them all now -- and wow.
This is an awesome tv show!
Hope Series 3.0 is released on dvd asap.

Do you think the Cylons are interested in finding God himself? Seems they have a new interest in death and what is in-between death and resurrection.

No, I think they're just looking for the podcast for Hero

If that is sarcasm I haven't even listened to it yet. Only on episode 6.

No sarcasm there. The Hero podcast is still MIA. They say technical difficulties, but I think Hero opened a bigger can of worms that they probably anticipated.

I do.

I wonder when they'll show it in Canada though. Will it stay on Saturdays?

David Eick wrote that episode, so maybe Moore didn't think he should do the podcast for it.

P.S. I really, really hated that episode.

Agreed. The 10pm slot might be more suited for BSG's mature content anyway. And isn't it widely agreed that Friday night is the death slot for TV series? (See Enterprise.)

Difference was Enterprise sucked before it went t Fridays and if anyone is home on fridays it is Star Trek fans.

Sunday night is the one night I actually always sit down and watch TV from 8 - 11ish. Now I got even better reason to.

Actually, being moved to Friday evening killed TWO Star Trek series; the original series in '68-69 and Enterprise. With the exception of that last fart of an episode, the fourth season of Enterprise was really pretty good (the two-part episode with Peter Weller was really, REALLY good in my opinion). But with the idiots running the franchise, and Paramount forgetting the history of what happened to Star Trek the last time it got moved to Friday, there was no saving it.

Now today, just a short time later, things could be different. With enough Tivo and other DVR users out there, being on Friday evening might not be bad for a series.

Your right season 3 and 4 of enterprise was great but it wasn't friday night that killed it, it was seasons 1 and 2 that got it moved in the first place.

Beyond Tron, "End of Line" is a simply computing concept that means "I'm done with that." I didn't think it meant anything more from the Hybrid than "That's all I have to say about that."

I'd go with that, except for the clear 'End Of Line' reference in D'Anna's pre-download sequence. Exactly what it means is still unclear, of course, but that's an awfully unusual place to put a phrase like that without reason.

Did anyone else not know BSG wasn't going to be on tonight, turn on Sci-Fi like usual and find themselves staring at Winnie Cooper in leopard-print pants instead of, you know, a good show?

Ya in the Canadian trailer last week they mentioned it.

jokell82 · Nov 25, 2006, 09:02 AM

They also mentioned it in the US preview right after last week's episode.

SirCastor · Nov 25, 2006, 02:44 PM

I read about no episode on the Scifi page...

Dale Sorel · Nov 30, 2006, 08:04 PM

Yay, the podcast for Hero is in
