BSG Ponderings
Oct. 10th, 2006 06:11 pmMy money's on Ellen biting it before the crew gets back on Galactica.
Donnelly Rhodes (Dr. Cottle) was credited in the eps, but wasn't in any scenes. I wonder if there's a deleted scene somewhere. Is he part of the resistence?
A lot of people speculate that Jammer's a cylon (esp. w.r.t. "Valley of Darkness"); this ep kinda suggests that he isn't. I think "Collaborators" will focus on Jammer, so I think he's going to be around. Also, I now doubt that Gaeta is a cylon.
Rumours have it that Anders is around at least until ep. 7, and there's also a rumour that Baltar is going to the Cylon baseship after Exodus.
I think the following people might be toast: Ellen Tigh and Galactica Boomer. We might also lose Tom Zarek (which would be a shame, I think). I think the Boomer model will be boxed and Caprica Boomer will become the last Boomer. Or maybe Cavil (I could see the rationale, and Dean Stockwell's probably not cheap). I think the final exodus should have some real consequences: lose someone we know and love, like Gaeta.
Do you think Matthew Bennett (Dorel) is too weak an actor to do any of the interesting Cylon bad-guy work? They never do much with him.
What happened to Imaginary!Baltar?
It seemed like Kandyse McClure was credited as Candice McClure. Mistake? Name change?

I still think that Gaeta's the cylon.

What happened to Imaginary!Baltar?
Imaginary!Six's return was very conveniently timed around C6 getting shot. I don't remember; did she go away right when C6 was decanted? Imaginary!Six seemed to have a slightly different attitude in any case, or was she just being protective of Real!Baltar?

Notice that Callum Keith Rennie is never in any of the Cylon council scenes?

Date: 2006-10-11 02:27 am (UTC)I missed the Doc. Cottle is so my idol.
I am thinking that Gaeta is going to get toasted. The way that the chief treated him was a clear indication that Gaeta is not loved by the anyone and is probably viewed as a collaborator on some level. Poor guy.
