Predictions

I was too busy drooling over my favorite Suicide Girl to spend much time in front of the ol' crystal ball this week, but I got in a little bit of quality future-gazing at the last minute.

• Beau locks the Battlestar Wiki, causing widespread panic throughout the Fleet! Without the ability to edit, how are our remaining 41,000 citizens supposed to comment on the shocking accuracy of their beloved seer's predictions? Riots! Fire! Premarital sex! And that's all just the teaser! In the end, however, they will make due and will remember that editing a wiki isn't everything. :)
• Back in February, my crystal ball told me that the trial of Baltar would begin. Obviously, the ball had a little too much Fleet wheat and tossed me a prediction for this episode instead. Yep, blame it on others, that's me. The Admiral would be so disappointed.
• We've all seen Caprica and Tigh exchanging bruises in the preview for this episode. This will be the only Cylon-on-human violence we see in the entire episode, and probably in the rest of the season.
• Baltar publically reveals during his trial that Roslin's cancer was cured by Hera's blood and that Hera is half-Cylon. The Fleet goes nuts. Baltar also reveals the plot to steal the Presidency and how it was covered up after the election. I've got a feeling he'll also reveal some shady goings-on during the year on New Caprica that we haven't seen.
• As the trial goes on, Tigh and Zarek are in charge of the military and civilian branches of the Fleet, respectively. They've never been fans of each other and now they're going to lock horns like never before.
• At the end of the episode, the Fleet jumps to a new system. Something sparks a huge shouting match between Zarek and Tigh, during which Gaeta detects... something. I'm not sure what it is, but it's the last marker on the road to Earth. Unfortunately, the Cylons are already there. After reorganizing in the wake of boxing an entire model, the Cylon expeditionary fleet has actually gotten ahead of the Colonials in just a few jumps. Baltar's trial is interrupted by this event and the episode ends on a cliffhanger.

After nearly half a season without them, the Cylons return in a big way this episode. While I'd personally like Baltar's trial to remain as human as possible, I'm afraid you can't have a season finale without the Cylons making a grand appearance and leaving everything hanging in the balance. --Slander 13:57, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

(*snif*) No mention of Galvatron? Is he being left to rust somewhere in space by something more evil than he: lawyers? --Spencerian 15:44, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Starscream, obviously. --Peter Farago 17:54, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

Sorry, guys. I thought Galvatron's presence would be obvious, keeping previous predictions in mind. He's in his new Pretender disguise: Romo Lampkin. --Slander 23:58, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

I'm looking forward to Cylon presence, we haven't seen any Cylons (save for Athena and Caprica-Six) since "Rapture". Or have we? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 14:49, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

403 Error

I keep getting a 403 error when I try to look at the Crossroads Pt. 1 page. Never mind it's being cooperative now. Or not. --BklynBruzer 10:27, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

When will this article be unlocked ?

I know the whole site has been unlocked, but this article appears to still be in lockdown mode. How long will we need to wait before permissions are restored?--LifeStar 15:24, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Thus spake Joe:

"Even after this, I expect the wiki to be slow and may even have to protect “Crossroads, Part I” from editing even after the site-wide lockdown."

The day after an episode we've been getting hammered, and I suspect today is no exception. I expect that the traffic will die down enough such by tomorrow that Joe will unlock this page as well. If there's anything you feel needs to be added to the page while it is locked, you could add it here in the talk age (and copy & paste it later, or somebody else will), or create a subpage of your user page (or just a subsection of your user page) to store the thoughts/ideas/analysis/notes. --Steelviper 16:04, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Performance is still extremely sluggish. It works as this very moment, but it's up and down all the time. --Serenity 16:24, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Anders in Uniform

Hey is Anders a pilot now cause they called him a nick name in the teaser --Snorkel378 17:25, 19 March 2007 (CDT)Snorkel378

Act 1 item

Since it's not editable, I'm posting here....

1. Back on Galactica, in CIC, Admiral Adama orders a scan for any tracking devices that may have been left on Fleet ships during the New Caprica siege. Roslin insists on asking the incarcerated Caprica-Six for information. When Tigh objects, Roslin snaps back, uncharacteristically.

1. Lee Adama enters CIC near Roslin, who is collecting herself in the Weapons Control station. He notices a cup and decanter in CIC, ostensibly belonging to Col. Tigh and smells it. His expression suggests the presence of alcohol.

Disputin 17:31, 19 March 2007 (CDT)I rewatched this scene, because I got something different out of it.

Disputin 17:31, 19 March 2007 (CDT)I think this should read

1. Back on Galactica, in CIC, Admiral Adama, Lee Adama, Col. Tigh, and President Rosline are discussing the baseships. Someone brings Roslin a decanter of tea? Admiral Adama orders a scan for any tracking devices that may have been left on Fleet ships during the New Caprica siege. Roslin insists on asking the incarcerated Caprica-Six for information. When Tigh objects, Roslin snaps back, uncharacteristically.

1. Roslin walk to the Weapons Control station to collect herself. Lee Adama notices the cup belonging to Roslin; sniffs it and detects chamalla.

Disputin 17:31, 19 March 2007 (CDT)I think that Lee is taking Romo's lesson's to heart from the last episode and connecting Roslin's erratic behavior with her chamalla tea.
