Would you please e_mail (or post) the episode guide again, or tell
me how to get at it. There is a gap in the Galactica 1980 episodes
from #3 to #7. Some data has dropped out or failed to transmit.

There seems to be some data missing from the other episode descriptions,
too.

Thanks.

	Am I the only one who thought it was great writing _NOT_ to have her
there? All throughout the final episode I was expecting her to show up and
be in command for the final shootout. (I had had the ending spoiled for me
a long time before I saw it.) I thought the fact that it was just some
faceless routine guards who brought it all to an end worked very well with
the themes that had been developed about the nature of revolutionary causes
and that having Servelan there would have just been cliched.

	I've actually heard it said non-laughingly. It was implied that
there was some flap between Jaqueline Pierce and the production crew and
because of that they wrote her out of the final episode.

> BTW, thanks Micky & Betsy for the transcript.  So much work!

	Heck, a few years ago I probably could have done it from memory. :)
(What, me watch the tape a lot?) But yes, thanks for the transcript.

Actually, Zoe seems to be a very "in" name on TV lately:  LA Law, Life Goes

Jeremy, are you ever going to learn?

1) The proper term is subplot, not "split-plot".

2) The use of subplots is a standard device for dramatic works.  You will
   find them all over the place, in novels, plays, movies, and TV shows.

3) Intelligent people do not have problems with subplots.  They understand
   how subplots make stories more interesting by adding to the dramatic
   tension.

Both Troi and Geordi do not "cheat" in such a manner.  It has been referenced
in a couple of episodes.  Besides, a good poker face still would not be that
detectable with the VISOR, but Geordi could see through the cards if he wished.

Sorry, there is no appearance or even voiceover of Servalan in the last
episode.  However, the scene you suggested is a popular way to begin fan
fiction.

I once heard Chris Boucher say at a convention that this was indeed the
reason why Jacqueline Pearce did not appear in the last ep.: she was
contracted for a certain number of appearances in the last series and
they had already been used up.  To obtain her services for the last
episode would have involved going over budget.  Even a voiceover would
have qualified as an appearance from a financial point of view.  (They
paid Jan Chappell for "Rescue," after all.)

Well, that's part of the difference between Duncan and Conner, which
I quite like.  Conner was alone, and a loner, but Duncan is in love
with Tessa.  Conner didn't have anything to really live for, except
the Gathering, while Duncan has his girlfriend and his protege Richie.
On the one hand, it makes Duncan a bit more stable... on the other hand,
it means he has more to lose, which heightens the tension in places.

Not A, considering the way he treated the terrorists in "Bad Day In
Building A".  My money's on B -- except that I get the feeling they'll
lose this squeamishness as the series goes on.   Also, there's reason
C, mentioned above -- they're setting up a bunch of future plotlines
with stories like this and "Road Not Taken".

Well it's P&P because he wants it to be read first by "The Big Cheese"
and not someone of lower rank. But if it's being delivered "By Hand"
why bother writing P&P cause he ain't going to hand it over to
anybody else -- even if he did it doesn't say who it's P&P for!

I still think it's his letter of resignation though. I wouldn't lose
any sleep over it. If you worry about that then you'll be worrying
about the scene in "Chimes of Big Ben" (?) where two different angled
shots in quick succession outside the same [sic] door reveal it to
have two different door knockers according to the angle of shot.

Should I be reading something into this ... have I been naive all this
time ... the whole series is about these two door knockers isn't it ..
it shouldn't be "who is number 1" but "which is number 1" ...

And why does the "be seeing you" gesture make me think of a "what a

Okay.  I did it.  Me, the chief spoiler-hater of the world read TV Guide's
entry for next week's QL, even though I told myself I wouldn't.  I just
couldn't resist.

Anyway, what I found out was interesting.  Thankfully, TV Guide didn't have
much at all by way of spoilers for the ep (they claimed NBC was keeping a
tight lid on it) but it did give the list of guest actors.  Alia will be
played by Renee Coleman, whom I've never heard of, but Zoey (the observer)
will be played by Carolyn Seymour.  Just in case you can't place the name,
she was Mrs. Stoltz (the ghost) from "A Portrait for Troian".  She did a
great job in that ep as the spooky ghost.  Come to think of it, she's great
in anything she plays (another reference:  Marasta Yale of Star Trek TNG's
"First Contact").  I'm now really looking forward to "Deliver Us...", if for
anything, her performance.

All though I still have some MAJOR reservations about the concept:  I hope I'm
wrong, but I'm already predicting (to myself) what will happen in the end.
Oh well, I have faith in the writers and in the show in general.


Keep leaping...
