WHAT THE HYBRID WAS SAYING....

Gaius stares at the Hybrid, the pale wet woman from his dream. She sits in a resurrection pool wearing a black snood, like a hearth goddess. Her body fades into ship and connections where she floats; Giger tubes and Craig Morrison rubber. And -- off the Pythia tip -- she says the following.

"Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force the embryo becomes a fish that we don't enter until a plate we're here to experience evolve the little toe atrophy don't ask me how I'll be dead in a thousand light years thank you thank you Genesis turns to its source reduction occurs stepwise though the essence is all one end of line. After your system check diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin the agony exquisite the colors run the path of ashes fifty-two percent of heat exchanger cross-collateralized with hyperdimensional matrix upper senses repair ordered relay to zero, zero, zero, zero..."

Six tells Gaius, "she experiences life very differently than we do, Gaius. She swims in the heavens. Laughs at stars, breathes in cosmic dust. Maybe Leoben's right. Maybe she does see God…...they cry for succor in the dark of the light." Caprica snaps out of it. "We're wasting time."

The Hybrid screams: "…Jump!" She shudders orgasmically, for reasons which should be obvious by now: if projection is weaving memory and thought and personality, jumping is weaving the stuff of the universe itself.

The Hybrid screams in her chamber. "Mists of dreams drip along the nascent echo and love no more end of line. Those mists, the vapor of disparate memories and experiences, black-haired lives, won't ever coalesce back into their reborn rivers, now: Six, Three, Simon, Eight, Leoben, Doral, Cavil. All losing memories and shapes forever, shedding drops of memory and self, becoming less, to love no more. End of line."
 
Yea thats some messed up stuff right there. Where did you get that from? Looks more like an excerpt from a book or script with all the narration than taking right from the show.
 
You know what that part reminded me of? The living cores of Shadow ships... and the effects that such an experience has on the minds of said cores.
 
Someone from the sci-fi boards posted it and interjected some other stuff. I just ninja'ed it shamelessly. I thought it was pretty fascinating!
 
Wait....so they're essentially pardoning Helo? That's retarded. He just sabatoged their effort to completely end the threat to their survival and they're just gonna forget about it? Hey now that they know Baltar is leading the cylons towards Earth maybe when they reunite with him they can give him a hug, as they certainly don't seem to care about people betraying the human race.
 
Hey,

I know as you said above GKE that Tigh was the most interesting character for you in the show....did anyone notice that Michael Hogan isn't in the opening credits anymore?

Not saying he won't return, but it seems that he left Galactica to bury himself in the bottle, so its not likely he will be in episodes anytime soon. Too bad. :(
 
He was in next week's trailer. Maybe they only add people in that will be in the show? Or not. I have never paid attention to the opening credits.
 
Opening credits are usually main stars. Those that are in an episode here and there are usually listed as guest stars. The main stars names are during the song/credit sequences. Guest stars names are usually flashed when the show starts again after that first commercial break.

Also, I never watch the trailers for next weeks episodes anymore for ANY show. I've gotten too pissed off that them showing some teaser that ruins part of the plot or surprise, so I just never watch the previews and stick with the shows. Thats why you gotta love the Power of TiVo. Not only can I bail on watching the trailers for next week (you could without it for that matter) but I also get to speed through commercial breaks on all my other shows --- including those on Sci Fi Channel. This way I never see the previews they show during commercial breaks. :)

He never was in the main credits. The opening credits of BSG have always only had a few of the regulars in them - Adama, Roslyn, Six, Baltar, Starbuck, Boomer, Apollo. The names haven't changed since season 1 episode 1.
 
Well either way of course I hope Tigh comes back.

Have I ever expressed how much I hate Helo? His stupid jaw-clenching and horrible acting- a fucking pretty boy with all the soul and expressivity of a muffin.

(Why a muffin? 'Cause that's what I just had for breakfast... mmm... chocolate chp...)

And now he pulls this crap... I really was hoping he'd be killed. *sigh* oh well
 
Yea Helo has never been a character that has grabbed me as being, exciting, or interesting, or non-nausiating. You are right, he has a jaw like Optimus Prime, and he really isn't that great of an actor...
 
Well, that ep had some interesting twists and turns. Sharon/Athena willing to let every other Cylon die rather than betray Humanity; Adama reluctant to kill Cylons and Roslin at ease with it...

The reason Adama is closing the book on the investigation is that he feels whoever did it -- and he probably knows who -- spared him from making a mistake, or at least removing the temptation. I doubt he would be so lenient with Baltar. (And speaking of Baltar, was that a crazy torture scene or what?)

I must say I loved Roslin's point about being hated by future generations. I can see both sides of this issue, really...
 
Honestly, this is the *ONE* real complaint I have about this show.

* The 12 human colonies were attacked and wiped out by the Cylons.
* Billions died.
* Less than 50,000 of the entire human race survived.
* Those 50,000 are not being allowed to escape or try to start life elsewhere, they are being chased and hunted.
* Now their enemy is hunting the last part of humanity that might exist -- Earth, the 13th tribe.

With all of that going on, WHY IS THERE A FREAKIN QUESTION THAT WIPING OUT THE RACE OF MACHINES THAT DID THAT IS THE MORALLY RIGHT THING TO DO???

There aren't many black and white issues, but I do believe that this is one of them, and if any of us were in that situation, we would be voting for the wiping out. It truly is a "them or us" situation. The show tries to cloud that (I think mainly because they try to make parallels to events going on in the world today, which aren't nearly as cut and dry) but the bottom line, if you look at the above points, the choice really is clear. The rest is added to make us "think" and in a way, I think that takes away from the show...
 
I agree with you Recoil.

I can see Helo arguing his point because he is in love with a Cylon, and he objects to the other humans' characterisation of them as "just" machines.

Whenever one race wants to justify treating another with contempt, they dehumanise them.

However, the fact that the cylons aren't just machines but made the conscious choice to wipe out humanity makes what they did all the more evil (if we are to accept that such a thing as evil exists, surely it is when the choice is understood and made anyway).

Yes the show makes parallels to today, which is why I love it, but not always, and that isn't the case here- there is no modern day analogy for this plot.
 
I'm a bit peeved at Helo, personally. Especially when they could have gotten out of it via baby Hera (who obvioulsy made Athena immune to the virus and could have save the cylon race.) I honestly thought that's where it was going, that Baltar would remember what Hera's blood was able to do for Roslyn and he'd put two and two together and voila! Save the cylons.

The episode was disappointing for many reasons. They glossed over way too much. They could have done SO much with it.

The whole cylons in detention thing, for example. You're telling me that Starbuck likely knew they had prisoners (and a Leoben model) and wouldn't do her damn best to get a little payback of some kind? C'mon. And the whole torture scene with Baltar was just bizarre--and not in a good way.
 
Thats a great point, and frankly, where they should have gone with it. Have the humans go forward with thier plan and start wiping out the Cylons, then the Cylons find out that the Helo/Sharons baby is what saves them. They have already built so much "myth" around this kid that there has to be payoff somewhere --- and that should have been it.

In their defense, the Cylons still don't have a cure and are scared, so maybe they will still end up using the baby to save them, but I think they missed something without the Galactica getting off their plan.

I just hope they do SOMETHING with this freakin baby. I hate it when a show plants a seed that a particular infant is so critical and sought after, and then the whole plot seems to get dropped *cough*LOST*cough*. Seems like BSG is at risk of going there too...
 
Come on, people, there's still plenty of show left, plenty of time to deal with the little brat.

I'm all confused about Balter and brain-Six. She was gone, now she's back, but she's also the one on the ship with him... did they just hit a big reset button with that?

Anyway, who knows, maybe some of the hardcore types, like Starbuck and Tigh, might go rogue and try to infect the cylons themselves. Shit, that would rule!
