I want to smell dark matter
So episode five...what the was the fucking pont of that/ The SAD thing is I actually thought it was the best episode yet (not much competition I know) for the first half: I dind't get bored like I usually do, the scottish guy seemed kind of interesting, I had decided that Fleur is hot (quite important I'm sure you'll understand!)...but then NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS. He takes them to a beach and dies. After talking a bit like Locke. And seeing an invisible dog. GREAT. What was the ponit? Oh but Baltar's secretly in communcation with a spaceship which I can't remember if we knew was there or not...but that's just the last ten seconds of the episode. Why did I watch the rest?

Yeah, I actually enjoyed this episode and found it the most interesting yet, but there was SO MUCH wrong with it!!!
Who cares if there are diamonds? There are thousands of the things lying around all over the planet and only a few hundred people to trade them with. Supply and demand? Hello?! You might as well be trying to sell pebbles.
The diamonds were cut into diamond shapes just so we knew they were diamonds (aside from all the characters stroking them and going "guuuh, derr diamonds dey is"). Real diamonds look like someone ate broken safety glass and then shat it out.
Hahahahahaha you nearly died of anaphylactic shock lol!!! Don't worry, happens to everyone once in a while!
The dog was Vincent. The dog was Vincent. WTF?
They actually said Adam and fucking Eve.
Slow motion beach scene with stirring music.
"THEISLAND PLANET TOLD ME"
First Stella Isen picks up a neatly worked fossil of a fish, then she practically trips over a bunch of fossilised (except they weren't fossilised) ape bones after taking no more than a cursory glance over a random patch of beach. I don't care what planet you're on, I've seen enough episodes of Time Team to know archaeology isn't that idiot proof.
No, we didn't know about the spaceship. The one that crashed in the first episode was supposed to be the last one sent, iirc. I wonder why the people on this new one are bothering to be bad guys when they could just set up their own colony on the other side of the planet and be happy.

Also they're supposed to have been on the planet for twelve years but they've only JUST discovered all this stuff? They didn't know about the ACs until the second episode, yet now eveyrtime they leave Forthaven they get shot at by them (luckily they can only hit extras.) And there's all these perfect diamonds and dogs and ghost children about the place but apparently no one saw them before now because it wasn't a tv show until twelve years in.

Haha, yeah, I was thinking the same thing while watching it. If the ACs are so pissed off and determined to get revenge, where they been at?
Ha. I'm looking at the Imdb boards and someone's pointed out yet another Lost similarity: the failing births.

Well this week's should certainly piss off the haters.
I thought it was quite good, but I'm surprised that they only very barely hinted at an explanation.
"You did good not revealing the true nature of the mission" yes, great writing there. Very clever way to have him say that when he's fully aware that the guy he doesn't want finding out about the secret mission is walking directly behind him.
"There was one of her... and then another one of her!" or something. Equally silly. They might as well have had his eyes pop out of his head like in cartoons.
OMG "PRAYER ROOM"?! TYPICAL ATHEIST BBC AGENDA TRYING TO... UMMM...
The child actors were actually pretty good.
Two episodes left... they could explain a lot in that time, but they'll probably still end on a cliffhanger. Maybe the base surrounded by aliens, but we only see the faces of the characters as the chubby one goes "oh my gawd! Dis is mind blowin!" and then we don't see anything because the show's cancelled.

Way too many "what, there's two of her? HOW CAN THERE BE TWO OF HER!?" lines and not enough actually exploring the potentially interesting story of there being TWO OF HER. There's only two fucking episodes to go EVER.
Why was there a bit of Plastic Face's (fit!?) daughter looking sad and Irish Guy noticing her looking sad when it wasn't followed up in the episode?
Why is Cass so fucking annoying? The type of person who always says "grub" instead of "food".
Fleur's forehead is too big.

They'd been trying to push the mother/daughter estrangement thing, so I guess that's how the daughter looking miserable fitted into things. I didn't even notice that shot to be honest, but I guess they'll have decided to make up by the end. "Maybe I can't be your mother... maybe it's too late for that. But I can be your friend", Stella will say, while looking as if she's just noticed somebody farted next to her.
I think they came up with the names of the characters before anything else. Everyone and everything has a nifty sounding name. Carpathia. Fleur. Cassius. Stella Isen. Julius Baltar. Richard (Dick) Tate. There aren't any Johns or Alans.

Oh yeah, Jack. Well his last name's probably Arse, OKAY!!?! (good point)

This week's was pretty good. Could've done with more concentration on the MYSTERY but we found out bits and pieces. It's starting to feel a bit like some film but I can't think which. The Sphere? Or Event Horizon? The aliens-speaking-through-ghost-doubles thing seems very familiar, but I like it anyway. Very sinister.
I thought Baltar meant the aliens when he said that "angels" were on his side or something, but of course he meant that ship, which is really going to have to get a move on if they want to arrive before the series gets taken off the air and replaced with repeats of Men Behaving Badly.
Didn't really understand the thing about Fleur at the end. She's a secret AC or something?
The most unrealistic things in this episode were a) that hot woman getting off with Pieface and him not thinking there was anything odd about this occurrence and b) Jack claiming that Fleur is the hottest woman on the planet. Ok, there are 70k people, half of them are female, a few hundred might be kids, but that still leaves about 30k potentially hotter women than the BBC's version of Kate (she really looked like Kate with her hair down).
Dick Tate should've just told everyone everything to shut Baltar up. Like every other week.
I don't actually care who or what Pieface is.

Weird Face's daughter is probably hotter than Fleur for one (she hardly gets any screentime so it's hard to tell.) Fleur looked good at the end but her forehead was really scary when she was questioning Cass.
Typical Outcasts as we don't actually learn what Cass's secret is and Tate goes on a long walk to ask the ACs for help and they just say "no" and he goes home again. At least I didn't feel bored like in the earlier episodes. The ghost double of Tate was kind of crepey.
ONE EPISODE TO GO and it'll obviously end on a cliffhanger.

Annoyingly good LAST EVER episode.
Probably the first episode where I actually liked Pieface and FakeKate. He was funny for a change and she had an actual purpose.
I liked it when everyone was pretending that they thought Jack was smart, though at the same time felt kind of uncomfortable that it was a black guy being taken advantage of by a bunch of white people.
"Be quiet, you insect" was a brilliant line, which I've probably misquoted.
At least we saw some conclusion to the alien virus plotline, though I don't see how Dick Tate could be a geneticist and not notice that the code being sent was similar to DNA. I thought that straight away, though I must admit I didn't guess that the aliens were sending viruses using... radio waves... or whatever? How the fuck does that make any sense?
Shame we don't get to see what the writers were planning with the last ship, but it probably would've been some sort of Starfleet/Maquis situation that'd get forgotten about.

Yes it was a good episode. But it does feel kind of pointless now knowing we'll never find out what happened next.
Why are there no RUSSIANS OR MEXICANS on the planet if they TOOK OVER LONDON?
Surely the "host entity" could come up with a more effecient way of killing everyone than a virus that takes days to kill an Irish guy (even other people were infected after him and died more quickly.) Why did it just decide to kill them all at this point anyway?
DICK TATE LOL BECAUSE HE'S A DICTATOR.
Weird Face's daughter had surprisingly large breasts (shame about her acting!)

Also sharme abart hir word iccont. (lol, safff african or sumink or whatever)
Berger is apparently German for "shepherd". HOW CLEVER
They never really explained properly why the aliens were ok with the ACs. I mean, they might be genetically superior, but they still act like humans. Rudi ordered his men to kill a couple of guys in cold blood a few weeks ago, so what makes them so much more worthy of living?
And why did the aliens appear as dead people anyway? Seems a rather abstract way of toying with animals you think are below you - by cheering them up with visions of people they miss.

How come the aliens could still appear to Tate even after they'd put their shield up? Why did they try to kill everyone nine years ago then wait nine years before doing it again? Why didn't Jamie Bamber apepar at the end (IN A TOWEL?) saying "IT WAS MY ALIEN CLONE THAT DIED"?
SO MANY ANSWERS WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
