I wonder if the 1701D locker number was a clue? It's obvious, we will have the cylon fleet moving towards earth, arming all weapons and suddenly... A computer voice announces: "Holodeck program terminated..."

Isn't that how ST: Enterprise ended?

I always thought Enterprise should have ended with Scott Bakula surrounded by a bright cartoony-blue glow, disappearing from the Enterprise bridge and then re-appearing in a Galactica viper with Cylon raiders coming right at him and Starbuck yelling at him over the wireless to do something, giving him just enough time to say "Oh boy," before we roll credits.

Yeah, I think that would have been great, but I'm not sure if the other Star Trek fans would agree.

It would have been better than the dumb holodeck ending they actually went for, or so I've heard. I haven't actually seen the last episode.

The last episode wasn't as bad as some people made it sound. But then again I liked Enterprise more than most Trekies did. The only thing I really didn't like about the last episode was that they killed off one of the main characters.
I actually thought the holodeck bit was good. It's not like they were saying the whole series was a simulation or holonovel, just the last episode. But I guess any continuity errors between Enterprise and the other series could be chalked up to poor research or gaps in the knowledge of the people who created the holo-recreation.

I love the premise of the Season One premeire, "33". An enemy that just won't let you sleep!I'm assuming that not everyone had to stay awake for five days. As a newbie to this series, my impressions are: That the 'human' cylons are becoming so human that they may actually have feelings for the real humans. Thus at some point, the Cylons mission will become comprimised in some way. I'm a little bit confused about Boomer. She's a Cylon, but appears to be emotionally attached to her crew. Does she realize who she is? Did she indeed plant the bombs that blew up the water system? And if she did, does she know that she did? I've only watched the miniseries and three or four episodes so far mind you. I'm enjoying them very much. There are so many science fiction series on TV right now and it is good to find one of this quality.

All these years into the show, and I'm still not used to nor do I like the "shaky hand-held" visual effects. It still seems far too often that it would be nice just to see what the hell is going on, rather than deliberately making the FX "camera" all jittery.
This show runs hot and cold for me. I still think it is too grim. I am glad about them re-introducing "Mufft" in season 2, though. Nothing like a cute robot dog to lighten the tone.
I'm afraid that the conclusion of the series is going to be something really disappointing.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm assuming that not everyone had to stay awake for five days. A lot of them seemed to have stayed awake for most of the time though. Hmm, there's no "whistle casually - nothing to see here folks" emoticon, is there? Boomer is a sleeper agent who doesn't know she's a Cylon. Does she realize she planted bombs in the water system? Yes and no. Her subconscious knows it but her conscious mind is rejecting it. Boomer's character (and the character of other Cylons of her model) gets expanded on a great deal in future episodes. Just wait...

This show runs hot and cold for me. I still think it is too grim. There were a couple episodes this season that I thought were too grim. One in particular was probably the most depressing episode of BSG ever - and this is a series that includes the extinction of most of the human race. Still not enough to turn me away though. Oh, and when Boxy saved the Galactica for the twentieth time by reversing the polarity of the neutron flow in the reactor - that was just as good too!

Okay, okay, I just noticed this at the opening of the show - I hadn't paid much attention before: Some are programmed to think they are human
That's better.

Just finished watching the MiniSeries and Season One - in a week and a half mind you, I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. Why did Gaius withhold the information that Boomer was a Cylon? I think he is so confused and under the infuence of his cylon guardian.
Now I go cold turkey. Maybe I'll watch them over again?

Why did Gaius withhold the information that Boomer was a Cylon? It's been a while since I watched the first season, but if I remember correctly he was mostly concerned about his own well being. If he "outed" Boomer she might expose his involvement in the attacks against the colonies.

Plus he was afraid she might snap and kill him if he told her to her face (Cylons are very strong). He did try to talk her into killing herself, which would have gotten rid of the problem for him, but she flinched.
