It's cable, so they can theoretically do whatever they want as long as it isn't amazingly terrible. But Frak has really grown on me, to the point that I am using it in daily life. It also helps when I go into game stores and use it since most of them have no swearing policies to make the parents of little kids feel better.

I don't have a problem with "Frack" I try to look at it like I would a swear word from another language. It's not hard to believe that a second group of English speaking humans would develop different swear words. And I'd rather hear "frack" than "BLEEP"

Don't forget this is the network that censors "I'm Bad Ash" in Army of Darkness because the censor thought he was saying "Bad Ass" ;/

All the excitement diminished, now I basically feel like Adama and crew who basically are in WTF happens next mode, and does it really matter anymore. Though in my opinion, Baltar still remains to be the most interesting character, so I'm curious to see where he ends up. Overall was an amazing episode even though it ultimately made me feel like shit.
The big draw for me has always been figuring out what's up with the Cylon god, and how much of that theology actually arises from their strange history. So I'm still really excited to see things wrapped up.

But that was an amazing episode, far better than anything else this season and at least as good as pretty much anything in the previous seasons, and I give huge props to the entire creative team behind the show. Adama and Tigh in particular were flat-out acting beasts and deserve eternal praise.

It's obvious that they cut out a large portion of the Adama breaking down scene. I'd like to see what was removed.

Wolfen, I'm all for the drama too, not sure why it skipped around a bit. I think they should've left it in as well. But as amazing as some of the acting is; "The masses demand continuity", as Herbert put it. And continuity seems to have been thrown out the window in many places. But as long as they finish it up in good fashion, I won't be complaining too much.

Yeah, the first time I saw that, was the same night that Crichton calls Bracca a "Pussy." in Farscape at 9pm. At 11pm Ash isn't allowed to say Ass, even when it's not ass, awesome.

I hope they someday release DVDs with directors cuts of all the episodes. I know so many episodes have had huge amounts of scenes cut from them.

I actually liked the pacing of the Adama breakdown. The breaks between the POV were very crisp and sudden, it made you feel like everything in Adama's world was shattering from the strain of it all.

Tigh should be the Cylon God, because he's just that fuckin awesome. He's by far the most honorable and ballsiest character on the show. Fuck, he just lays his neck over the chopping block and tells the executioner to hurry it up already. Adama flipped out because Tigh refused to. Hi, I'm a Cylon, you need to kill me. BALLS.

I want to see some development between the resistance leaders and the original cylons. 'Hey sorry about the eye, boss.'

Tigh really has advanced as a character from being a complete drunken sack of shit earlier

yeah tigh won lots of cookie points.

The way that he came up and said it to adama and how adama went batshit insane was the highlight of the episode for me.

Tigh has been my favorite character since 33 and the beginning of season 3 just cemented that. I loved the way he was standing at attention in the launch tube waiting to die, he was going out as an officer and a human.

Friends of mine who watch the show with me constantly make fun of the show (and as a result, color my view of the show), calling it hack work, etc....but Tigh is the one character that makes them keep watching, he is that awesome.

I think they consider him one of the few realistic characters.
