[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: How many lost from the nuke on the Paradise-9? How many ships damaged/destroyed in the explosion?[/QUOTE]Not to pick nits but it�s Cloud-9, not Paradise-9. I was a bit dismayed at first at the "one year later." That�s a big jump to make and it does short-change us on what happened during that time. On the other hand, who wants to watch an entire season of "As New Caprica Turns?" For plot purposes, maybe it�s best to jump ahead like this. Plus, it gets the series into a more "normal" timeframe. Other television shows such as DS9, TNG and B-5 used one season to represent one year, whereas we�ve had two BSG seasons plus one mini-series and only elapsed nine months. Of course, this doesn�t mean that each season from now on will be one year in length. How did New Caprica get into such a deplorable state after a year? How is all of this Baltar�s fault? What about the Quorum? What are or aren�t they doing that has allowed this? Why has the Quorum allowed Baltar to "fiddle while Rome burns," so to speak. How is it entirely the president�s fault? He�s the head of the government, but not the only person. Surely there are checks and balances in place to prevent such abuses and neglect. Or is it that bad? It has only been a year. Colonization is hard, especially when you�re colony is isolated and cut off from any of the factories and supplies from the motherland. 39k citizens. Is this total or just the ones on the planet? How many are in the fleet? How many died in the explosion of Cloud 9? Were other ships involved (it looked like it). How many people have died in the past year on New Caprica? It appears to me that Gina-Six was intending to signal the Cylons by detonating the nuke. Maybe she was crying because of feelings for Baltar. Maybe she was crying because she new the resurrection ship wasn�t around and, by detonating this nuke, she would die the real death. So much for the nuke finding its way to the Pegasus. I still expect her to be lost at some point. Why are the Galactica and Pegasus short staffed? What kind of military operation allows most of the crew to abandon posts like that? Yes, it�s been a year and no Cylons have attacked. I understand that. But it appears to me the abandonment happened a long while before the end of the year. That�s just asking for trouble, especially since the supreme military admiral suspected a Cylon trap. I suspected a ruse when the Cylons "abandoned" Caprica. How did they do that so fast? Sarbuck was convinced the Cylons abandoned the colonies when she first returned to the Galactica. Did she take time to look around? That�s a mighty big planet to check out. Where did everyone go? Did the Cylons simply vanish or did they just start heading toward their ships and take off? It was too fast to be legit. It had to be a ruse. Likewise I wonder what happened with Caprica Six and Sharon to make them do this. They aren�t living and let living. This is occupation and control. Oppression. Tigh should be removed from his post. He�s caused too many major screw-ups. First, his inability to command during Adama�s shooting, resulting in the subsequent riot and massacre on the Gideon, to falsifying election results. The man is a menace and needs to go. Adama is losing credibility in my eyes for allowing such a frack-up to continue in his role. Yes, military personnel are hard to come by, but this guy is a bit much. Roslin too. She condoned the scam. Baltar may be a snake, but at least he didn�t cheat to win. Roslin may have had the best intentions in mind but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Speaking of snakes� where is Zarek? What has he done this past year? Why isn�t he trying to capitalize on the chaos of New Caprica and get Baltar out of office? Looks like a perfect opportunity for him to take over. I don�t have any sound on my computer. What has Ron Moore said in his latest PodCasts? Interesting thoughts according to this post [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/8/920.html#000001]BSG Season 3, According to Ron Moore[/URL] Looks like we�re in for about three to five episodes centered on New Caprica.
