How spoilery is that preview? Will I regret watching it? The sci-fi marketing department has spoiled so many surprises (remember, "we're all cylons") I don't trust them anymore, I need someone to screen the ads for me.
Not spoilery at all, just some lame discussions. I was hoping for more!
You're very right about spoilers in previews...I almost always avoid them now.
I didn't think that the clip was spoilery. In fact it teases some really interesting tensions from what I can see.
I added that spoiler note because I was hoping we could discuss the clip and what it means without any "outside" spoilers.
I know, I know, it's not an easy balance is it?
Anyway check out the clip it's frakkin cool!
I'm starting to really feel sorry for Adama. He's a tad outmatched by all these women around him and their...visions. ;)
This Opera House vision seems so vague to me, but one question I have is perhaps the three leaving through the door (Baltar, Caprica 6, Hera) represents that they're going to die? For good?
Also I hope Natalie isn't dead for good. I just want her body to be dead, consciousness pending. It could happen, if the Galactica still jumps to the hub coordinates.
This last episode has me in such a confuzzled and gape-jawed state. For the love of the gods, where the frak did the basestar jump to?
I like it in that it doesn't spoil the next ep but rather reminds us that all actions have consequences...and RDM and the Writing Room rarely forget this.
The story is working on two tracks:
We have the Head characters and their flesh counterparts.
How will they resolve the Hera-Six-Baltar Opera House story thread? They had nothing to do with her biologically, but earlier in the series Head-Six kept telling Baltar about "our child." Why has Hera switched her allegiance to the Sixes from her own mother? And what of 1/2 Cylon baby Nicholas? He doesn't get cool Opera House dreams.
It's going to be very interesting to see how the writers untie (or cut) this Gordian Knot of conflicted story threads of Head characters and flesh-and-blood people.
I CANT WATCH THIS, HULU WONT LET NON-US CITIZEN TO WATCH THIS..CAN U UPLOAD TO YOUTUBE NEXT TIME?
In this clip, I halfway expected Adama to say, "What the frak is with all these visions? What frakking drugs are you people taking?"
Imagine trying to get away with that here down on Earth. "Your honor, I had a vision".
They're going to be sorely disappointed that the whole "vision" thing doesn't carry as much weight here as it does in space.
By the way, look here:
Are you thinking what I'm thinking . . . ?

@david: It looks like io9 has either yanked the hulu clip, or has a secret source: go over there and try to watch their embed, it might work...
It seems to me that it would be more apt to suggest Grace Park for Best Supporting Actress for her work on "Faith", rather than "Guess What's Coming To Dinner". Sure, the creepy Hera stuff and Natalie's assassination was good, but I found the further blurring of the lines between human and cylon far more intriguing in the previous episode with regards to Number Eight. Sharon having to face the group of disenfranchised and confused 8's and then watching the other 8 get gunned down and die by the Centurian's hand seemed like more dramatically rich material for Park.
My two cents.
I was aggravated at the BSG Finale until I found this Caprica Series Detailed Review. The final five Cylons could not reveal anymore than they did because it would have blown the Caprica pilot!
The BSG Finale makes a lot more sense after reading it.
