So what did you guys think of that scene where Tyrol offers his hand to Baltar? Has Tyrol now become a Baltar groupie?

I don't see Tyrol becoming someones "follower", seemed like a moment of understanding between them. One thing I loved about that scene is that Tyrol doesn't say a word, there are scenes like that all the time, like Adama and Lee, they might mumble something but most of the scene is just the actors physical expression and emotion, really brilliant. So will Baltar really be the saviour of humanity? It kind of makes sense that RDM will do something twisted like that, the villain becomes the hero in the end.

It was as if Tyrol was saying "I too have done terrible things... and I am worse than you, because I am a cylon."

I think a couple of things contributed to that moment. First, Tyrol was close to shooting himself and when Baltar showed up, looked to be in deep thought about what to do next. Second, Baltar had walked into the room without any protection and Tyrol clearly had a gun in close reach, yet Baltar did not flinch. I think that said to Tyrol that this is a man not trying to sell him anything. He believed Baltar was there to apologize. And third, when Baltar admitted to his wrongdoing, I think that Tyrol felt as if he was confessing for him as well.

We are very forgiving of those who admit to their mistakes. We are even more forgiving when we know that deep inside we have our own mistakes for which to answer.

I dont know if this means anything but you know how if you go to scifi.com and on the front page you'll see a flash screen advertising the next BSG episode along with the episode title? I noticed that for this week, the episode title is left out and instead it just says "next week's episode". I wonder if telling us the episode title ahead of time would be a potential spoiler? Hmm...

edit: Never mind, I clicked on another link and it showed the episode title. LOL

I avoided watching the preview for this weeks episode.

Like the naughty boy that I am I couldn't avoid it.

I already have been spoiled on the general outline of the 1st half of the season. I am really going to try to avoid that on the 2nd half, no looking at spoiler sites and not watching the previews.

Same here. I read the outline and it was spoiler info enough. I will not do the same for the second half... unless I have like 4 weeks to live.

I have not read any such outline for the first half of S4 so dont you guys spoil anything for me ok??

Starbuck is the fifth!!!!

(well, she might be but that was not in the outline)
