I am sure that would be awesome to go see in person.
I was very close to bidding to an item on eBay, then my wallet smacked me on the back of the head and stopped me.

If I went I'd come back divorced.
Look honey, we can live in the Raptor I bought! But, you have to wear this flight suit.
What?
Not if you came home with the red velvet jacket and skirt Number Six was wearing in the miniseries opening.
I don't think she'd appreciate me wearing that outfit.
But, for my wife that's a great idea.
I'm almost done watching season 2.5, and I returned season 3 to the library in order to check it out tomorrow (14 day limit and I had a couple of days left on it).
Well, looks like someone picked it up and it won't be back until the 18th!
Now I am scrambling to try to get it from somewhere so I can watch it before the series ends.
*kicks self*

Can someone pls send me a pm telling me what happened in the last few minutes?
I fell asleep.
Nothing happened.. just like the last three episodes.
The show has been reduced to Adama and Roslin smoking dope together.
The only good scene was the Quorum scene, especially Lee's speech (and to a lesser degree, Sonya's). The rest was dreadfully awful.
Well the fact that Baltar tested Kara's blood and he said she wasn't a Cylon was pretty interesting. Was he lying just to get a better grip on his following or was there really a miraculous resurrection ?
i was wondering the same thing. she looked genuinely upset and I was a bit surprised the rest of the crew ignored him, but i guess with his past history...
can't wait for next week's 2 hour finale.
it's bittersweet of course
I'm just surprised that they're going to pack all of the climactic action of the show into a two-part finale. Even though Moore will be sending his baby off, as he should, I can't imagine it being a satisfactory coda. I'm officially anxious.
I like Michael Taylor, but this episode was really low on suspense, which for a Galactica ep. is the kiss of death. There were some good moments for the characters, though, like when Baltar confronts Caprica Six and he realizes that she's grown more than he has (which for a major character almost seems like an admission of guilt on the part of the writers). Boomer's attachment to Hera was convincing enough, even though the whole "cylon projection" thing has been a nuisance from the start. Some good camerawork, especially in the scene with the hull breach and during the new quorum debate. The greedy talk about gutting Galactica was suitably poignant.
As drama, this episode makes sense; the characters have identifiable goals, transform over the course of the episode, etc. But it's almost all unimportant, and the threads are almost entirely unrelated (the only connection being Anders' manipulation of the ship: judging by how crudely it was thrown in that Anders could jump Galactica, you can bet on it being important in the finale).
It's weird. I was about to say that the series could probably be cut between the flight from Kobol, the Eye of Jupiter, and the arrival at Earth, but there is so much character ambulation that very few episodes are literally disposable. The real issue is whether these multitudes of character arcs are going to make any difference to the main plot. A bit like Six Feet Under, if the series ends like a giant anecdote, then its overarching qualities are going to seem as hollow as Galactica's hull.

I really can't think of any other way for Galactica to "go out with style" anyway. I mean, without the crew it's just a big metal projectile. Although it'll probably be the cylon colony. (As an aside, I can't believe they just threw this new location at us this late in the series and plonked Cavil, who has until now been perfectly happy on his basestar, in the middle of it, just so they could have a "cylon hornet's nest" to blow up in the finale.)
i did and i think Kara's husband will be plugged in and will do a sudden jump to complete that foreshadow.
Was she ramming or guiding? I didn't really see it as a violent thing, but in hindsight it could have been either.
Yeah, not thrilled about this sudden intro of such an important piece of info.
I definitely think it was ramming, and i think Kara will be on Galactica when it happens because she is "the harbinger of Death," (the harbinger of Death for the Cylons, no human has called her that). So maybe she uses Anders to pilot the ship. Dunno, but they could have been setting it up with him connected to the ship and the ship now being "alive."
There are too many things being presented late in the series, it will be interesting how they can wrap it up in 2 hours!
