You know, VanderVecken, that is a good point. I would enjoy seeing an episode that addressed those questions as well.

if you watch the deleted scenes from kobol's last gleaming, the origins of the cylon faith is hinted at.

I'm still pissed they destroyed pegasus. I liked having two battlestars on the show.

It was a forgone conclusion that the Pegasus was upper cased f**ked from the word go.

I guess they wanted to get back too the roots of the show and while I hate too see the BEAST destroyed, I am kinda glad they moved back toward the original theme of the show. Besides it was like they really didn't know what to do with the BEAST as most of the story lines for the young gal seemed haphazard at best.

But still loosing her does suck.

Maybe the Pegasus will be resurrected by the Cylons. I would rebuild it "if" I was a Cylon.

And no, I don't think Baltar should be a Cylon, because that would negate his betrayal of humanity... but maybe the Cylons will give him the new Pegasus.

I think the Aid to the President, Billy, was a cylon. I think he might be the one they use as the leader because they *****ed his character just to follow some crappy story line that droxizilla (sp) was hot for Lee. (I don't by the D'ee/Apollo romance at all. There is no chemistry there.)

IIRC, Paul Campbell who played Billy on the show wanted to get out of it to pursue other acting options. I believe he just wanted a reduced role, but the writers felt it would be a stronger exit for him got get whacked.

billy should've exited during the election scandal, that would've been a far better exit for him, and allow him to return for cameos.

I personally think the exit of pegasus would've been not because of story concerns, but because of budget.

good point about the budget.

Billy, the actor, waited and waited and waited to sign a contract to re-up for the series, ultimitely didn't and was killed off.

EDIT: But I agree - it would have made more dramatic sense if they could have waited until during the scandal to off him.

I really liked this episode as well. It showed the great difference in survivability between Galactica and Pegasus. Galactica was getting hammered to [censored], without doing nearly as much damage as Pegasus did before she bit the dust. 3 Basestars gone, that was impressive.
