Talk:Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II/Archive2

The Cliffhanger

I'm betting that Baltar's little gift to the Demand Peace movement makes its way to Pegasus and is about to destroy or mortally damage the battlestar in this season closer. Mortally damaging it makes more sense to allow Galactica (and the show) to gather some of the new resources that Pegasus brought before it has to be removed from the picture. Perhaps, in coordination with a probable Cylon attack, Pegasus may end up doing a "Commander Cain charge" at the start of Season 3. --Spencerian 11:52, 13 February 2006 (EST)

Looks like I picked one hell of a week to quite drinking...--The Merovingian 12:02, 13 February 2006 (EST)

Is it just me, or does the second season seem to be bouncing from cliffhanger to cliffhanger, with the in-between episodes being nothing but filler? --Peter Farago 12:08, 13 February 2006 (EST)

It isn't just you... Looks like I picked one hell of a week to quit sniffing glue. -- Joe Beaudoin 12:22, 13 February 2006 (EST)

I don't mind the "filler" episodes. I believe you need them to set up future stories down the road. I believe PEGASUS will stick around for one or two episodes next year(Gives them time to strip her down)....Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines!--Quig 16:36, 15 February 2006 (EST)

There's no cliffhanger, really. The Cylons win, humanity is occupied and the ships of the fleet are essentially empty with everyone down on Cylon-occupied New Caprica. The show is completely different from here on out. Cloud Nine is gone (which from a production standpoint makes sense--- no need for a planet-like ship when they have an actual planet) and all the leads but Lee, Adama and possibly Sharon are on the planet, hoping not to be killed by their new Cylon overlords. It's awesome. Oh, girlBilly seems to be sticking around as a character as well. numbertwelve

You have no idea; that's just fanfic. --The Merovingian 21:11, 24 February 2006 (EST)

Could one or the other of you please explain what that last enormous edit-and-reversion was all about? Numbertwelve, have you seen the episode in question? Are you passing on reports from other sources, and if so, can you identify them? Merv, are you familiar with a fanfic that resembles his description? --Peter Farago 21:18, 24 February 2006 (EST)

Well, it sounds like he was just posting his own guesses/fanfic ideas without any basis on actual material, so I cleaned it up. --The Merovingian 21:31, 24 February 2006 (EST)

I believe that the info is coming from BIG SPOILERS. Don't know the validity of it though.

Based on the what I've read of the Part I summary, I'd say that the information was actually accurate. That said, I'm not sure this site really wants to post detailed episode summaries before the episode has actually aired anywhere, especially when we have no way of confirming the source.--Uncle Mikey 10:35, 4 March 2006 (CST)

In all likelihood, numbertwelve's comments stem from here. --Watcher 03:24, 8 March 2006 (CST)

The Peace Proposal

I haven't actually seen "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I", yet (I don't have cable, so I'm basically watching via DVD as time allows), but reading the summary, I see no mention of the Cylon peace proposal in the story as aired. It looks as though the preliminary data for the episodes was somewhat misleading, and that the peace proposal won't come until Part II. The Part II article, however, still reflects the old information. Should this be changed now? Or just wait for Friday's airing and the full summary?--Uncle Mikey 10:32, 4 March 2006 (CST)
