Why don't I just call Egan Loo, drag his little ass down here and correct us all like he normally does. Would that help?

They did do that, back in the mini-series. They got out of that one by reverting back to an older software suite. One that wasn't as complex and less networked. Hence, they have to dumbfire the missiles. They can always try to fabricate new missiles. They constructed a fighter, why not missiles? If we put this all together, it sounds logical. Missiles may be better at long range, but if the enemy can jam the guidence, then that makes them combat ineffective. If they are dumbfired, then the enemy fighters can just avoid them, at long range. This would apply to the Vipers. Vipers would also have to fire them blind. They can't waste missiles like they do with their bullets since missiles are a bit more costly, resource-wise. And if the enemy can jam them, what's the point of wasting missiles on small targets when they could be saved for the big ones.

Yeah, that too. Interesting...those missiles are variable yield warheads.

So the Methuss finally comes to model form. Lovely. Well, at least the cannon fodder Murasame is coming. Saves me from doing a repaint.

Most of the time, Galactica has been on the defensive and has had very little use of it's missiles. We saw them being used with Pegasus, but we haven't seen them elsewhere since I don't think they would need missiles versus fighters, where flak and guns are better.

This will probably come back and bite her later. Well.... According to the episode guide, Kat is good. Starbuck notices it but also she notices that the girl acts just the way she did when she was all high and mighty I think he knows that....It's more like he's not as crazy as Starbuck, i.e., he keeps himself in check instead of Starbuck who would say "F*ck it, I'm doin it".

Nope.

I think at some point they're going to have to address the fact that Locke was wheelchair bound right up until they crashed, that's for sure. It should make for an interesting discussion when Jack hears about his miraculous recovery from paralysis. That whole "man of faith" vs "man of science" conflict. 362289[/snapback] With Michael, he was in an accident and the wheel chair was there since he wasn't strong enough to walk yet. But we knew Michael could walk before the island. Concerning Locke....since you mention it...Look at Febuary. http://www.darkhorizons.com/tv/losts2.php Considering they were surrounded, Kate was caught, I don't think they were in any position to "negotiate".

What I'm hearing is Gwen will not die in this one.

Kinda funny....Kawamori usually makes his prototypes out of LEGOs....With this, his prototype and production products are LEGOs....

They've had what...40 years to think about it. Another thing is, they could have left just survey and research crews on the planets with some security detail. Pockets of resistance are probably considered insignificant comapred to Colonial Fleet.

Romanizations don't necessarily translate properly in English. Vrilitwhai is purposely spelled that way because it is not an Earth langauge. It is Zentradi, not Japanese, English or even Swahili. For simplicity's sake, we do spell Vrlitwhai as Bretai/Breetai, but in terms of official documents, we use Vrlitwhai.

Time for the shameless plug.... http://macross.anime.net/

Strong enough. There are probably more resistance groups out there, but the problem is they aren't organized and they are scattered about hiding in remote areas outside of the cities. It was by chance that Helo and Starbuck even found this group of humans.

"Colonial Day" was a good start with the civilians. Much of this season has been focused on the the primary cast. I'm sure they would want to throw in civilians, but they would need scenes for that, and so far, there really haven't been any scenes that involve lots of extras.

15 seconds is a lot of time..... Yes, you will need to listen to the podcasts for these little extras. That's how we get our info. If you don't like it, tough. BTW....those episode summaries....no longer listed on TV.com. Plus or minus a bit, they match the ones on the Dark Horizons.com link I posted a few pages back. http://www.tv.com/battlestar-galactica-200...e.html&season=2

LOL.

According to Ron Moore, we will see this in later episodes, so . What you didn't see was when Starbuck jumped in, she saw what was going on and was suppose to broadcast a unfriendly ID to get everybody's attention. But for the sake of time, they trimmed and edited the scene down to what it is now. According to the podcast.

In any case, he didn't see it and got clipped. Apollo's depression could have been from lots of things, but this was his "boiling point". He said he would be backing up Starbuck, but he blew it and wasn't there. He failed. There was nothing he could do about it but in his mind, whether or not it would have happened, he wasn't there. Another thing was he was ready to die out there (well he did...). Whether he let go from lack of energy or because he wanted to, he let go.

For the moment, no. Just the Nemo.

On the DVD. Ron Moore did say that this was originally a 1-shot episode that got split into 2 parts. I'm sure they had enough going to have 3-parts.

Zeta II will be out 2/24/2006 on R2 DVD. Zeta I is not yet avaliable on R1 DVD. The TV series is avaliable dubbed/subbed.

Well, now you can go get a Zeta 2.0 and complete the pair.

I've heard those were scuplted based on the pre-production art. Cuz that Beast doesn't look like Fraiser in the trailer.

That's up to you. Unless you want 5.1 audio, English dub and a different translation. Or, get it if your Animeigo discs are cracking.
