11:50 PM Midgetqueen - Wait wait… Did I just see Admiral Adama about to get airlocked in the BSG season 4.5 preview? What??
11:51 PM gedeon - Made it up all the way through “The Hub”. Damn the last half of BSG 4.0 was good. Reunion of Laura and Adama one of the best TV scenes ever.
10:18 AM Jonathan Keebler - Just 12 hours to go!
6:34 PM Jonathan Keebler - 3.5 hours to go! I need some sort of automated countdown on here…
6:37 PM Jonathan Keebler - The scifi.com forums are down already. Must be the traffic
6:43 PM Jonathan Keebler - I hope Billy comes back someone in this season. Probably not going to happen…UNLESS HE’S THE FIFTH!
6:55 PM Mother_Tongue - Just remembered that the new BSG episode is named after a Ken Kesey novel. Looking at the novel’s plot summary, wondering where it ties in.
6:56 PM civiside - I love that the hosts on “Space” are wearing Colonial Fleet uniforms on the pre-show for the BSG season premiere! Nerdy and cool!

10:02 PM Jonathan Keebler - Recap with lots of drums. Oh, how I missed those drums
10:03 PM Jonathan Keebler - The shoreline looks surprisingly like the BC coast
10:03 PM Jonathan Keebler - I would not touch that (radioactive) water, Dee
10:04 PM Jonathan Keebler - No signs of human life from scouts anywhere on the planet.
10:04 PM Jonathan Keebler - Planet Earth was nuked 2,000 years ago
10:05 PM miVi - I wonder what they were expecting?
10:05 PM Jonathan Keebler - Dee really upset that the humans played Jacks. I think she’s about to lose it.
10:06 PM Jonathan Keebler - Everyone on Galactica is like, “wtf are we going to do now?!”
10:06 PM pollyprissypant - They should add a patch that says “Irony” to all their uniforms.
10:06 PM miVi - Rosalin about to tell the fleet – this could be awkward!
10:07 PM Jonathan Keebler - “Get me out of here” = not one of her best speeches
10:07 PM miVi - @Jonathan – yeah, lacked punch
10:10 PM Jonathan Keebler - Starbuck sure hangs out with that cylon that kept her prisoner a lot
10:10 PM Jonathan Keebler - Starbuck found the wreckage of her viper on Earth. WTF
10:11 PM Jonathan Keebler - I would not leave Dee with Hera right now…
10:12 PM Jonathan Keebler - WOAH! They found an original cylon centurian model rusted in the ground!
10:12 PM Jonathan Keebler - All the bones they found on the planet were cylon! The 13th tribe was a tribe of cylons!
10:13 PM miVi - Oh snap!
10:14 PM Jonathan Keebler - The Chief found something…
10:15 PM Jonathan Keebler - Woah, he touched a wall and now he’s back in time on Earth or something, and wearing glasses
10:15 PM Jonathan Keebler - …and got blown up by a nuke. FAIL. It was alllllll aaaa drreeeaammmmm
10:16 PM Jonathan Keebler - Are Lee and Dee officially divorced? Either way, they’re getting a drink later
10:18 PM Jonathan Keebler - Kara found her burned out cockpit on Earth…WITH HER CHARRED CORPSE INSIDE IT! Even found her charred dogtags. Looks like that body has been there for a long time.
10:19 PM Jonathan Keebler - I guess that settles that…Kara is a cylon and the harbinger of death. Well, I guess we don’t know for sure if she’s a cylon, but she ain’t human, people
10:24 PM The_BORG - WOW @ 1/3 thru! #BSG
10:24 PM Jonathan Keebler - Anders found a stick. Whoopie
10:24 PM Jonathan Keebler - Oh, it’s a guitar…I guess that’s mildly better. Now he can play that musak in his head
10:25 PM Jonathan Keebler - Chief and Anders used to live on Earth! All the final 4 did
10:26 PM Jonathan Keebler - Anders was the one who played that song!
10:26 PM Jonathan Keebler - Anders: How did we get to the colonies? 2,000 years is a long time to forget
10:28 PM Jonathan Keebler - President Roslin isn’t taken her cancer meds anymore. She wants to die because she was wrong about everything. Kinda true, sorta.
10:28 PM Jonathan Keebler - She really shouldn’t start a fire on a spaceship. That’s a big waste of oxygen. She really shouldn’t burn the bible too = bad karma
10:29 PM Jonathan Keebler - Kara is giving her dead body a viking funeral, Darth Vader style!
10:30 PM Jonathan Keebler - Dee and Lee are a little drunk. Time for some space fraking
10:32 PM Jonathan Keebler - Woah, Dee blue-balls Lee at the last moment. Harsh.
10:33 PM Jonathan Keebler - Felix and Dee share a bunk apparently
10:33 PM Jonathan Keebler - WOAH!
10:34 PM Jonathan Keebler - Dee took off her wedding ring and blew her brains all over the bulkhead!
10:34 PM Jonathan Keebler - DAMN! I don’t think a medic is going to be able to help, Felix. Yowza!
10:35 PM Fraize - TOTALLY did not expect that.
10:36 PM Jonathan Keebler - [Eating my fingernails: this episode is rocking so far!]
10:37 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama is drunk again. Lee wants to understand why Dee did it
10:38 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama is really broken up: “I let you down. I let everybody down”
10:39 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama takes some guys sidearm off him in the hall. I think he’s going to see Col. Tigh
10:40 PM Jonathan Keebler - Apparently he just wanted to steal some of his booze…and have a talk. This is going to be awesome
10:40 PM miVi - When Tigh implies you’re drinking too much, you know you have a problem
10:40 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama: “You got no guts. You’re a fraking machine”
10:41 PM Jonathan Keebler - Tigh: “I was your friend because I chose to be, because I wanted to be”
10:41 PM Jonathan Keebler - Woah, Adama is bringing Tigh’s dead wife into it…
10:41 PM Christine Petty - Best. Episode. Ever.
10:42 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama’s got 2 guns to his head! One of his own, one of Tighs! [COMMERCIAL BREAK]
10:43 PM Jonathan Keebler - Yah, Christine, this is on-track to be better than “33″ (my all-time favorite)
10:43 PM Christine Petty - Oh Tigh, can you get a different eye patch for fraks sake?
10:43 PM Jonathan Keebler - Like, one with a diamond or something? Or a cylon red laser to be ironic?
10:44 PM Christine Petty - Everyone on here seems to be five minutes ahead of me for some reason…
10:44 PM Jonathan Keebler - Watching on Space channel in Canada.
10:45 PM Christine Petty - AH!
10:45 PM Jonathan Keebler - Tigh won’t kill Adama…Adama couldn’t bring himself to kill Adama either. Can still drink like a fish though
10:45 PM Christine Petty - Nah, Sauls old school — basic black eyepatch
10:46 PM Jonathan Keebler - Story about a fox and henhouse. They still have those on Caprica in the future.
10:47 PM Jonathan Keebler - A cylon is going trying to talk Adama into doing the right thing. Classic
10:48 PM Jonathan Keebler - The population is down to 39,650
10:48 PM Jonathan Keebler - Kara is going to tell Lee about her charred body on the planet…but she got sidetracked by Dee’s suicide. I miss Dee already
10:50 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama and Tigh return to Command-Control. They are trying to find a new G-class solarsystem. Guess they are going to try for New New Caprica
10:51 PM spaceagemonkey - This BSG episode is blowing my mind.
10:52 PM Jonathan Keebler - Adama rallying the troops with a class Adama intercom speech. They are going to find a new home somewhere else.
10:53 PM Jonathan Keebler - Tigh is thinking about drowning himself in the ocean with suicidal Deanna
10:54 PM Jonathan Keebler - Woah, he’s walking out into the ocean! Don’t do it, Tigh!
10:55 PM Jonathan Keebler - But a piece of pottery gives him a flashback. He’s on a planet with nukes going off. His wife Ellen is crushed and dying: “It’s ok, we’ll be reborn again…together”
10:55 PM Jonathan Keebler - Ellen was the fifth!
10:55 PM Jonathan Keebler - END
10:56 PM Jonathan Keebler - Wow that hour went fast!
10:57 PM Jonathan Keebler - So Tigh killed his wife, Ellen, because she collaborated with the cylons…but he’s a cylon…AND she’s a cylon. That’s messed up. The hub was still active back then; I wonder if she regenerated somewhere?
10:59 PM smith_shaun - wholly crap..BSG. The best episode ever.
11:01 PM Jonathan Keebler - So are they all Cylons?! Starbuck regenerated, Ellen is a confirmed cylon from an Earth flashback… Maybe when the Cylons say “all this has happened before” they mean with the same people
11:02 PM chrishoopes - thinks tonight’s BSG made more questions than answers!
11:02 PM txfilmgeek - Just watched first of the final ten episodes of BSG. I think my brain just melted.
11:02 PM Christine Petty - MIND FRAK!
11:03 PM Jonathan Keebler - I know, right?! And a lot was finally revealed!
11:04 PM Christine Petty - So… Ellen is the 5th… then…. wtf is Starbuck? Some reborn cylon god?
11:05 PM Jonathan Keebler - I doubt only 5 of them survived for 2,000 years from Earth. I think everyone is a cylon from Earth. Did Baltar ever get that cylon-detector working?
11:05 PM Christine Petty - calling season 1 plot devices!
11:07 PM Jonathan Keebler - So no Baltar in that episode, eh? I wonder how he’s doing with all his wives
11:08 PM commonwombat - BSG: that was a solid hour of “HOLY SHIT!” Notice I didn’t say frak.
11:08 PM kewlgirl05 - WOW….WOW….BSG was for lack of a better word, phenomenal. So many twists and turns. Hope all the other episodes are this great.
11:09 PM RobinBurgoon - It’s gonna be a long week until next #bsg ep. I expected shocking scenes, but I’m not happy w/ how some of it’s playing out.
11:10 PM BlueUser - BSG just rocks!
11:11 PM Jonathan Keebler - Well I guess that’s it for me tonight. Thanks for everyone who watched my liveblog. I’ll be back next week, same Cylon time, same Cylon channel. From a radioactive, post-nuked Earth, goodnight folks!
