Well, it's pretty clear that they are making a lot of this this up as they go along (in many ways a strength, but prone to boxing oneself in). When it came time to picking the Fifth, they had limited possibilities and ran with one of them.

On the other hand…

Casting may have something to do with the show being based in Vancouver. Or maybe not. I have no idea what Canada's ethnic mix is like or what it takes to get an actor to relocate for much of the year.

< "That's a good observations"

That's a good observations, allurin & Anti-Higgins. D'Anna went batshit crazy along with her Russian Roulette hobby, and Cavil's been killed how many times now (although maybe most of those were other Cavils)?

It's possible, I suppose, that when Cavil realized the Galactica and the fleet had escaped the initial attack, he figured he could get "more bang for his buck" (no jokes, please) by throwing her into the fleet and letting her suffer there before hunting them all down.

"I would my life take for a bare bodkin. If I could see the Queen's bare bodkin…or anybody's bare bodkin for that matter.

We've lost them and re-discovered them…as a species. At least, as far as building on them goes. For instance - and I may be wrong in my facts, here - the Romans had the capability of building fast-setting concrete blocks underwater, but the knowledge was "forgotten", preserved in the eastern libraries that managed…

The Europeans are still here on Earth. So are the Arabs, Chinese, Indians, etc.

That's my understanding of it. The fleet even uncovered an "original-series-style" Centurion helmet/head on Earth that didn't *quite* look the same as the old-style Centurions seen earlier in Razor and the opening of this episode.

European civilization lost a lot of knowledge during the Medieval Age.

But Anders was known as a sports star before the Cylon attack.

Good call.

One thing about resurrection, though - it doesn't look like fun, not to mention the whole "dying" part of it.

Still agree.

Absolutely agree.

It's supposed to be a remake (of sorts) of the 1978 "Inglorious Bastards" with Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson. I rented it from netflix a few weeks ago - the whole movie is anachronistic (and bad…but kinda fun). This looks more like Tarantino riffing on the feel of semi-low budget European action flicks with maybe…

The podcast is up at scifi.com. Some of Moore's comments (or conclusions made from them) listed below. I don't know if podcast commentaries warrant spoiler warnings, but…

On another viewing, the scorch/scratch/stress fracture looks more like some kind of organic material - although I'm probably seeing it wrong.

Although I enjoyed "Scar", it reminded me to much of the episode of Space: Above and Beyond" that had an alien Red Baron enemy fighter.
