battlestar galactica finale grumbling.

[rmd]

there are several blatant plot holes that they fucking well better fix/explain or i'm gonna be yorked.

like remember that big old virus that was in every fucking modern piece of colonial military defense hardware that made them roll over and play dead? modern pieces like those newfangled vipers that the pegasus has?

explain to me again how the pegasus has been successfully fighting cylons now, even if they did manage to get away on assault day?

i know there was some other plot hole that annoyed me but i don't remember now what it was.

The only way BSG makes any sense at all is that the Cylons are playing cat and mouse with the humans for complicated reasons of their own (or of "God"'s). This seems clear for so many reasons that if they aren't going for that plot I'm, as you say, yorked. I'm curious, though, as to whether Adama has figured it out.

Yes. I think the escape is substantially stage-managed, and I'm suspecting Season Two (after the hiatus) will be in part about breaking away from that control.

Alternatively, the multiple-Cylon-factions theory might make it reasonable.

I would hope that both Adama and Madame President have figured it out.
Certainly the Blonde Cylon on Caprica has strongly implied that the Cylons know that they're playing cat and mouse
