The 'stache strikes again[edit]

Sweet mother of Artemis, does this http://pics.livejournal.com/drewcypher/pic/000psspt/g274 mean what I think it means??? (Major incredibly mindblowing spoilers.)--Noindiecred 14:34, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Depends on what you think. "Unfinished Business" consists largely of flashbacks to the missing year --Serenity 14:42, 10 November 2006 (CST)
I'm thinking that, since Roslin was no longer president, Adama felt like he could follow up on their Resurrection Ship kiss. The cigarettes both of them are holding pretty much sum that up for me. --Noindiecred 14:54, 10 November 2006 (CST)
That kiss wasn't really romantic in nature (shippers aside). The two are friends and probably haven't seen each other for a couple of months. Adama seems to enjoy being able to see a sky above his head again --Serenity 14:59, 10 November 2006 (CST)
Probably right. I just got excited. --Noindiecred 15:01, 10 November 2006 (CST)
The "cigarettes" they are both smoking are--we are given to understand in the commentary podcast, and by the way that Adama handles his--a bit... um... relaxing. Sharing them suggests a certain amount of camaraderie and "letting their hair down". One is left wondering what the degree of social acceptance is for such things. Here, it would be a bit unusual for an admiral and ex-President. --Brons 14:12, 3 December 2006 (CST)

Is it just me or do you see a ring on Adama's wedding finger?? lordmutt 11:30, 11 November (EST)

Adama's had the ring on since the Miniseries. --Talos 18:45, 10 November 2006 (CST)
I like to imagine the whole Roslin-Adama lovey-lovey thing, but based on Mary McDonnell's video Q & A, this is more of a "(sigh) Well, frak, at least we're not getting shot at" scene. They do look like old friends, though, and that's comforting. --Spencerian 18:34, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Airdate[edit]

Why not on the day after Thanksgiving as it should be? --BklynBruzer 17:13, 22 November 2006 (CST)

Thats what it say on scifi website. --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 17:28, 22 November 2006 (CST)
I know, but what I mean is, why isn't Sci Fi airing it on the 24th. --BklynBruzer 17:36, 22 November 2006 (CST)
Its movie marathon because of the holiday. --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 17:40, 22 November 2006 (CST)
Ever heard of "Black Friday"...? Also, every channel is practically running a marathon the day after, since ratings are typically down on the days following Thanksgiving, seeing as the day after Thanksgiving is the official start of the holiday shopping season. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 17:44, 22 November 2006 (CST)
I thought Black Friday just referred to shopping. --BklynBruzer 17:46, 22 November 2006 (CST)

Damn, I just realized I'm gonna miss the 9 o'clock airing and possibly the 11 o'clock airing 'cause I have a date. (Plus it's my birthday on the 1st). --BklynBruzer 08:16, 30 November 2006 (CST)

There's always iTunes, dude. And, happy birthday. --Spencerian 09:49, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Thanks man, and they also air it mondays at 11. And I think Fridays at 1AM. --BklynBruzer 13:15, 30 November 2006 (CST)


Profile updates[edit]

Hey guys someone should update Apollos and Starbucks Profile SNorkel378

Re: Analysis[edit]

Regarding the comment that "Kara Thrace does not feel obligated to follow rules of engagement". Do we know that for sure? They certainly appeared to be boxing and not kick-boxing, but do we really know that they are playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules? Or might the kicks be a bit more acceptable in their tradition?

Perhaps I'm questioning how close their culture and ours are more than usual after seeing Adama toss away that roach, but as I was watching, I wasn't sure exactly what the "rules of engagement" were for several reasons:

  • They never call it "boxing"--always "fighting".
  • Lee had his tags on, and addressed her as "Captain" when he challenged Kara. Are they outside the "tradition"?
  • Kara was barefoot while fighting. Does that imply anything?
  • Kara threw the first kick moderately early. Lee responded with a choke hold.

--Brons 15:27, 3 December 2006 (CST)

I went with the explination that it simply wasn't an official fight. The tourney was over and they didn't have Tigh as referree anymore. So as far as Kara is concerned, everything was allowed. --Serenity 15:36, 3 December 2006 (CST)
Though, Starbuck did hit Hot Dog when he was "half-way" down. I think Starbuck is more concerned with winning and less concerned with following the rules to the letter of the T. This would be consistent with her character.--Straycat0 23:35, 3 December 2006 (CST)
