yeah, that definitely gave me the "ah ha! she does have a new directive." then again, remember when the cylons were talking atop the city building (with no humans to perform infront of) and blonde says boomer's model was always weak and the male (reporter) model says something about her being jealous about not being able to experience "wuv, twu wuv" with helo or the good dr. baltar in the mini. thus suggesting that the cylons do experience emotions (feelings of pleasure or pain that impact one's ability to make a judgment, according to aristotle). just to layer cake it, it looked (to me) like the first boomer didn't want</i> to kill adama but it was hardwired into her (like instinct in a dog to chase rabbits or something). Now assuming she geniuinely felt compassion for adama, it wasn't enough to prevent her from popping off a few rounds in his gut. but that opens the door for boomer 2.0...even if she is on a cylon mission to create a baby, does that mean she doesn't feel for helo? (remember that the cylons said repeatedly that love is required for make da baby - I know, it's lame and hokey) now number six seemed to love baltar, but he didn't reciprocate? is it so far to leap that in order to get the "love" thing down, both parties need to be in love? and then if they are, then 2.0 has some motivation not</i> to betray the fleet. even if she intends to, there's room for a crisis of conscience - boomer 1.0 had a few of those herself.

my only problem with this path of thinking is that if boomer 1.0 knows how many cylons are in the fleet and what they all look like, then 2.0 should definitely know. so are they just not going to take that into account? (lame) have her unload her baby, contact the rest of the operatives, then betray the fleet? (conceivable) unload her baby, have a crisis of conscience, save the fleet in the nick of time from the rest of the cylon operatives (most likely).

'Battlestar Galactica,' 'Atlantis' To See Third Seasons
Author: Wayne Hall
Date: 09-11-2005
Source: SyFy Portal

How much confidence does SciFi Channel have in two of its three top shows? Enough to pretty much give them a go-ahead for a third season.

Sources at SciFi Channel are reporting that SciFi has unofficially decided to award both "Battlestar Galactica" and "Stargate: Atlantis" third-season pickups. The news was shared by SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman during a guest appearance on Sci-Fi Saturday Night on New Hampshire's 610 WGIR.

During the show, Hinman -- who appeared by telephone in the show's final hour -- said he had received unconfirmed reports that the third-season pickups have been decided. SciFi normally does not announce fate of shows during the first half of the seasons, which end this month. No word has been received on the fate of "Stargate: SG-1," but many industry insiders feel that the SciFi stalwart will see an unprecedented 10th season next summer.

"Battlestar Galactica" aired for the first time on SciFi in January for an extended half-season run, quickly earning a second season after strong ratings that beat out even new episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" on UPN. The show is in the middle of its second season, still enjoying strong ratings despite some audience erosion seen across the board. It stars Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, and has been critically-acclaimed in the mainstream media.

"Atlantis" is a spinoff of "SG-1," and also has enjoyed strong ratings since its debut in Summer 2004. It airs at 9 p.m. ET, just before "Galactica," on SciFi.

Both series will end their first-half season run this month, and will return for new episodes in January.

I thought this was supposed to be a 2 hour episode???

(I mean, 2 hours aired all at once). Scifi channel had all sorts of banners about "2 hour mid season finale)...

i wish it was, but episode 11 is scheduled for january. I think the intention may have been a long while back to air episode 10 and 11 back to back, however, tehy seem to have broke on 10.

Great episode, reminded me of Babylon 5.

Season 2 DVD: Have the Cylons over for Christmas
TV Shows on DVD
29th Sept 05

That's right kids, you can have the Cylons over for Christmas because Universal has announced that they'll release the second season of Battlestar Galactica on December 20! Universal has released very little information regarding the set; it's 3 discs (single-sided), Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1), and it'll have English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (with English and Spanish subtitles). They've made a point to call this "Season 2.0," which means it'll be the first part of season 2; 10 episodes.
We don't have any information on bonus features, though we suspect the inclusion of podcasts are a lock, along with some other material. The discs will come in 3 slim cases, along with an outer box, and sell for a suggested price of $49.98. We'll have more information, and artwork, when it's made available to us.
