Spolier: Did anyone notice that right in the beginning of the show, the
Galactica recieved a message to go to the remote diplomat station? And by
Adamus saying they were too busy with the ceremonies, saved the ship.
Also whats up with the message he got at the end? If there are 12 models of
Cylon, and they only showed 4(blondie, reporter, arms dealer and boomer)
then I wonder who the rest are? Where did he get the message from?

I liked it. Good twist at the end.
Damn I hope they bring it back as a series.

Dammit. I give them the benefit of the doubt and then they give me that?!?
Can you say "vehicle for AOL vs. MSN ads?" I wanted to punch that damn
butterfly.
Okay. Really. I still stand by what I said before about what I liked. But
the whole damn thing could have been an hour long, 1:30 at most, and it
still would have had all the good stuff.
I hate miniseries writers.
