Jarman made his debut in "overground" narrative filmmaking with the groundbreaking Sebastiane (1976), arguably the first British film to feature positive images of gay sexuality, and the first (and to date, only) film entirely in Latin.

Damn, that's a lotta Latin! What's that, ten years' worth?
I wish I could have had some in high school, but I went to a tiny school and my choices were Spanish, and Spanish. So Latin had to wait for college.SandChigger wrote:Declino (nomina latina), ergo sum.
Yeah, ain't that the truth?
Baltar’s scene is getting very dark. Is that meant to evoke a Jim Jones/People’s Temple sort of thing, like, “Something bad is going to happen here?”
It’s certainly coming right up to the edge of that, yeah. It felt right that, again, with Earth turning out to be nothing, Baltar has invested in this idea of God, that God will protect His children and take them somewhere. “We all have to give ourselves over to God.” And then God takes you *here*. And Baltar’s response is, “Well, [expletive] God! Maybe he should come down here and apologize to us!”
I thought he was maybe advocating some position like, “We have been unworthy children. What sins have you committed, what have you done wrong?” That kind of thing. Is there that element of it too, perhaps we brought God’s wrath down on us?
There’s a bit of that, but mostly he was saying that, “Is this your fault, what dark thoughts have you had, what evil thoughts have you had? Nothing? Then maybe it’s not your fault.”
So... atheism! It’s Baltar’s new thing!
“Atheism! [laughter] Let’s go back to that!” Because this God thing isn’t working out so well either.
Adama keeps saying he doesn’t feel well in the episode. Is that, again, just the “disquiet”? What’s that about? Is it just that he’s very tired?
Yeah, it’s just that, there are just so many things weighing on him. He’s been drinking a lot. He’s been taking pain pills. He’s just not feeling good.
I can see that. I just didn’t know if there was anything more to it than that. I don’t know if I can take anyone else checking out.
It’s not a sign of something deeper.

SandRider wrote:he's not that kind of cylon ...
I'm a little unclear on what the Quorum knew and when they knew it. Had they heard Laura's broadcast from Baltar's headquarters? Did they know that Gaeta and Zarek had seized control -- or were attempting to seize control -- of the fleet? Did they know that Adama and Tigh and others were in the custody of the rebels? Did they assemble to hear out Zarek because they thought the coup was non-violent?
Yes, The Quorum was able to hear enough of Laura’s partial transmission as she was escaping and they also heard some of Gaeta’s orders. Originally, there was a brief scene on Colonial One where Zarek and the Quorom are monitoring the transmissions but there was so much to cover in the episode that it just had to go.
Zarek brought the Quorum with him to Galactica where they would be “safe” and he could keep an eye on them, keep them close. He gives them one last chance to support his presidency by making this “from-the-heart” plea to them; he thinks he can flatter them with praise and, as we know, it doesn’t quite work,does it?
Even if the Quorum had gone along with Zarek, would he have killed them anyway?
Don’t know. We could ask him, but he’s dead.
Why did the Quorum resist Zarek's coup, given that their relations with Laura Roslin and William Adama had not been very smooth?
The Zarek/Quorum scene had to be edited for time. What got cut was Zarek informing the Quorom that President Roslin has defected, he’s assumed the presidency and appointed Gaeta to replace Admiral Adama, who is to be tried for treason. The quorum vocally objects to Zarek making all of these decisions without including them. But even with this material excised, I think the scene works well. It’s a little more of a shock when they rebuff Zarek, gives them some cojones before they’re wiped out.

If Kara is a younger version of Ellen, it would explain a lot.. especially since she died on earth and came back to life. BUT.. if Anders gets his memory back when Ellen wakes up in the tub o' goo, then she should have some memories returning too.

I dont think that they showed them getting airlocked. And we only heard them getting shot. Ill bet the corpses are still on board in the meat locker where the original Sharon's corpse is.

Cavil. Fuck no he kills himself. That was harder to believe than "God did It all"
Ampoliros wrote:a lot of people think the whole "God did it" was too much of a cop-out.
I would like more info on Kobol, but I think the mystery adds a bit to it. In the end I don't feel like the God Did it was so much of a cop out as to ruin the ending, I just wish we had gotten more development with each character's ending. 45 mins was not enough. I really feel like they wasted a lot of season 4.5 on things they would have skipped even in season 2.

I liked the piano bit, but may have been biased by how utterly incredible that Bob Dylan cover is. The guy who did all the music for BSG is amazing, I hope they put out a soundtrack (... or have they already... must google this now).

do you have the DVDs ?
in one of the sets, don't know which one w/o getting up to look,
there's a long DVD extra about the music guy .... pretty good,
if I remember right, the guy's a little loopy - there's an overplayed
joke about him not being around - all the actors have clips saying
"the guy who does the music ? never seen him" & "there's no one
'guy' I think, it's all computer-generated" & "we have music on this show ?"
