Fun Stuff

Trivia:

Went through a number of changes according to the Podcast commentary. Some of these early differences include: 1. Part One was to conclude with the Raptor crashing and Part Two would end with Starbuck stealing the Raider to finish the finale with a season-ending cliffhanger. This was changed when the original pacing wasn't working. 2. Originally, the ruins on Kobol were supposed to be a huge temple that was mirrored on Caprica. This was abandoned due to cost constraints. 3. What Baltar and Number Six experienced inside the ruins on Kobol went through a number of changes. Originally, Ron D. Moore proposed to the other writers that there was supposed to be a bright corridor of light. In a later version, there was to be complete darkness punctuated with music from a song recognizable by both the audience and the two explorers. Then, Dirk Benedict (Starbuck from the original "Battlestar Galactica" (1978)) was supposed appear and say something like, "Hi. I'm God." followed by TO BE CONTINUED... However, the other writers quickly disparaged the idea as implausible, and Ron D. Moore reluctantly agreed. 4. One concept that the writers liked, but were forced to abandon was the idea that the interior room of the ruins was to be located in "otherspace" or in a different spatial or dimensional location. more

Coup, Mutiny and Leadership Destroyed, 14 September 2008
8/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

When Commander Adama finds out that Starbuck was convinced by President Roslin to jump back to Caprica to retrieve Apollo's Arrow, he orders his men to arrest Roslin. They invade Colonial One and Captain Apollo does not obey the order and is also arrested for mutiny. Commander Adama also sends Boomer and Racetrack in a raptor with a Cylon transponder to drop a nuke on the Cylon starbase. However the bomb does not disengage, forcing Boomer to land in the starbase to release it manually. While on the deck, she discovers a secret about her origin. In Caprica, Boomer tells Helo that she is pregnant while in Kobol, Number Six exposes to Dr. Baltar the plans of God.

Only in this last episode of the First Season, Commander Adama finally removed the arrogant President Roslin from the position of president. The attitude of Apollo "defending democracy" is absolutely ridiculous: President Roslin was a Secretary of Education of the fortieth level of government that hated politics and has a terminal breast cancer. Therefore she is a person totally non-prepared for the important position especially in times of war. Further, she was not elected by the survivors but assumed the position without the preoccupation of promoting any election. Therefore what democracy is Apollo defending? The inner conflict of both Boomers is engaging and the best part of this series. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Último Vislumbre de Kobol – Parte 2" ("The Last Glimpse of Kobol - Part 2")
