Battlestar Galactica: Season 4

SPOILER:

So, they're at earth, and now what ? I think the next 10 eps, or 5 eps are going to be the same boring shit...

Ep 10 was good though.

Questions:

What did Gius say to Gaeda to make him try and kill him?

What are the hybrids on the Cylon ship? Are they humans?

 

I think Gaeta just felt that Gias shouldn't live after signing that order.

They are humans created as a step between humans and machines.

 

But he said something specific. I wonder what it was.

Also, how did that women who killed Cally Tyrol get away with it? How did she make it look like a suicide? There was a key necessary to release the airlock. If she activated it from outside, wouldn't people know she was murdered? To look like a suicide, the airlock would need to be found with the outside door open, the inside door closed, and the key in the switch. How do you fake that?

 

Crime against humanity, I think

It has to do with script revisions and the interim web-episodes. There is, somewhere in there, some sort of reference aside to a certain incident, but script revisions eventually pushed the event out of the spotlight.

The issue had to do with a massacre of Geminese, apparently part of the harsh law enforcement during the Cylon occupation of New Caprica. Baltar threatened to implicate Gaeta in that disgraceful episode, which so enraged him that he attempted to kill the former president.

I do apologize that I recite this without citation. It's somewhere in the Wiki, and was apparently explained in a podcast, but I cannot recall the specifics enough to locate it for you at this time.

 

That makes sense, some of the deleted scenes talk about other events that they left out. Thanks.

 

What's the big deal about Hera? Tyrol's kid is also a Cylon/Human hybrid.

 

I doubt it qualifies. The "final five" have probably been with humans for a while, and thus breeding. In fact, I tend to think that the final five pass their consciousness down through their children (and thus have been with humans for millennia). The Cylon/Human hybrid is a curiosity in that it was the first time that the Cylon collective has ever witnessed a mingling of the two natures.

So no downloading if the baby suddenly dies ?

 

it wouldnt have a body on the resurrection ship at any rate.

 

Who knows.

Let's face it, there are already several gaping holes in the storyline. That said, one could argue that they might have numerous kids from numerous redundent lines. Who knows.

Guess we'll find out in January.

Didn't they blow up the resurrection hub? All Cylons are mortal now (until they build another one).

 

Yeah.
What happened to the other cylons, the ones that aren't allied with the humans ?

 

It's rather stupid that the destruction of a single ship could do them so much damage. One destoyed ship and suddenly they are mortal, it would have been far more grander if they would have attacked the cylon home world

 

I thought the same thing too. "What! They only built ONE ship!?!?!?!?" They don't have a planet? They don't have a "system" where all this shit is built? IT's all on one ship? Really? That seems a stretch.

But, I have to allow for it because of the needs of the story.

(an easy way to explain it would be to say that some stellar catastrophy happened in their home system [solar storm? nova?] that destroyed their civilization, leaving only this "small" mobile diaspora to wage war with humanity in order to gain a new home)

Gaeta was Baltar's assistant the whole time on New Caprica. It's not what Baltar said. It's the whole ordeal of what happened.

 

This is something that makes no sense. Wh would Hera be such a big deal being a hyberd child of one of the regular 7. Clearly, Tyrol's baby, I forgot his name, would be of greater importance being a hybird baby of one of the final 5.

 

Nuking the cylon home world would have raised a lot of deja vu and somehow it would fit with the 2de seasons episode where they use a bug to deactivete the raiders it would have been interesting to see how the cylong home world looked like. And it would have made the final scenes of earth far more ironic
