GALACTICA

Critics complained about the original Battlestar Galactica series because none of the space physics made any sense. They fixed those problems in the new series, with plausible explanations for how the fleet gets from place to place.

The problem with the new series is that the Cylons who look like humans storyline makes no sense! In “The Farm,” we learn that they Cylons are trying to use captured humans to make babies. Why? If the Cylons are able to create life that is so identical to humans they it’s impossible to tell them apart, even with all of Galactica’s advanced medical equipment, why can’t they have babies? It just doesn’t make any sense.

Meanwhile, as someone who left a comment here predicted, Roslin left for Kobol and the Galactica will be forced to follow her because 24 ships went along with her. There are two possibilities here. Either she will turn out to be right, or she will turn out to be wrong.

I’m sure hoping that she turns out to be wrong and the trip to Kobol is a big dead end. Because I really can’t stand her. And I really like Commander Adama who is the coolest space captain ever, even more so than Commander Adama from the original Battlestar Galactica.

And apologies for not writing about last week’s episode, “Resistance.” I loved the scene where Baltar got Sharon to tell him how many Cylons are embedded with the fleet by injecting Chief Tyrol with poison and withholding the antidote until he spoke up.

Did Baltar really want to know? Or was he just curious to see if Sharon really loved the Chief?
