I'm so not reading that... :) I'm so wary of spoilers that I even avoid the previews.

Is ninjavideo working for you? I can enter the pages, but the videos won't play (ways divX web player has found a problem). The default videos on the divX web site work allright, though, so it seems i can't reach the video files on ninjavideo. :(

Frustrating. I can't believe even after the Hybrid told Kara that she was the Harbinger of Doom that Kara chose to ignore that and carry on as though she hadn't heard that prophecy. And I'm still wondering who the Hybrid is referring to when she tells Kara that she'll bring death to 'them all'.
I kind of got the chills when the Pres gave Tori pretty much carte blanche; this could mean Serious Trouble, what with Tori's newfound confidence and superiority complex. And wtf is up with the Chief? Please don't tell me he's falling for Baltar's line! I hope the writers don't end up making Baltar an eleventh hour hero - don't think I could take that. Come to think of it though, it wouldn't surprise me; Baltar, having been responsible for bringing about the near-destruction of mankind in the first place, comes through as humanity's saviour at the last moment. Redemption.
I find myself kind of wishing they would just get this over and done with; but still can't bring myself to stop watching the damn episodes.

I'm a bit relieved that they seem to be going in the direction of Kara's prophecy not meaning she'll turn into a genocidal psycho.
There seem to be a lot of guessing that Gaeta is the last one, but that's doesnt seem right to me. Plus if the prophecy is as accurate as Kara's seem to to be, I can't find anything he'd have to find redemption for, not that he didn't do anything wrong over the course of the show, but it never was so big as to be mentioned in a prophecy spanning five thousand years in my opinion... (Me I'm still betting on Zareck, but that's mostly for lack of a better choice.) I know he's in pain, what with the leg gone and all that, but God that singing was awful, I wanted to just shoot the guy...
Extremely good music and mood overall, great ending. That eppy had me on the edge of my seat. :thumb:

Warning: Spoilers
I disagree about the singing, raph. I thought Gaeta had a surprisingly good voice. But it did start to wear on the nerves after a bit. As far as who the #1 Skinjob is; well, so far I haven't seen any real clues. The writers seem to be determined to deliberately mislead on that front. I don't think it's Gaeta, his character just doesn't seem strong enough. Still don't like the idea that it could be Zarek.
Loved the suspense during BSG's countdown to jump when the damaged Base Star popped up on their radar. One thing at which the writers do excel is suspense.
So, they're going to unbox D'Anna; can't wait. Tigh looked as though he was going to crap in his pants when Adama told him about that plan, so it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up trying to sabotage the whole thing.
I was seriously surprised when Athena shot Six; honestly didn't see that one coming. I thought the writers would have her stop at the last second, but whoa! And I just as seriously DON'T like the idea that Baltar ends up with Hera (albeit along with Six)! Imo that man isn't fit to raise a dog, let alone a child.
I think it was in the episode before last when Kara, etc. first board the damaged Base Star; they show Sam almost putting his hand in the liquid the skinjobs use to communicate with the Hybrid/mainframe. I was holding my breath to see what would happen if he did. Wish the writers would've let him. Looking forward to Kara's reaction when she finds out her husband's true nature (tee-hee).
This last episode was definitely a good one. Especially at the end when the Pres goes to visit with the Hybrid and the first word out of the Hybrid's mouth is 'JUMP!' Interesting development, to say the least.

Yeah it's not that he had a bad voice, but after a while I just wondered why they didn't just give him a shot of whatever replaces morphine in the BSG universe, it really got on my nerves.
I could see the logic behind Athena's action (disclaimer, doesn't mean I agree ;)) and I kinda saw it coming since one of the split-second previews in the start credits showed her with a smoking gun. The alternate Opera House/Galactica chase had someone over the sci-fi.com theorize that Galactica itself is the Opera House, and I agree with that, it makes sense.
Can't wait to see what will happen when they unbox the Threes, too :) Tigh is totally freaking out. This is going to be one hell of a ride.

Too bad this season's not stirring much discussion, apart from you and me... :( Where is everyone?

We can't help it if the new seasons is crap.
Currently I've been watching Rescue Me and some other stuff. I've actually started watching lost which part of me isn't proud to admit.
