That scene is on a video clip, that has been around. If you really want to see more of it, you can find a link to the clip and a description of it in the spoilers section

The Last Starfighter + BSG:

Tigh: Guidance system out, auxillary steering out. We're locked into the colony's gravitational pull. What do we do?!

Adama: We Die.

Adama: We Die.

Tigh: It's been an honour

Adama: The honour was all mine my friend.

(both embrace out of friendship and long denied sexual tension)

Tigh: So did you ever finish that fracking sailing boat?

Adama (smirks ironically): It's a ship and I put the finishing touches on her this morning...

Tigh: well it's about fracking time. Now where's that damn whiskey bottle.

One last booze before going down in flames. Lol. I could see it being done.

I almost hesitate to make this comment, but I wonder if the opening post should now use EDT/CDT?
Well, I couldn't resist it in the end.

Hello everyone! I just joined the forums and this is my first post.

I am super excited for tomorrow's episode and I feel really bad that I didn't get involved in the online community until the end of the series. So few of my friends watch and enjoy Galactica as much as I do and I never really get to discuss the show the way I'd like. Normally it's just me ranting to closed ears about how great the show is. I wish I had been a part of this the whole time.

That leads me to a somewhat unrelated question. After Daybreak do you think the forums will continue to operate and if so to what degree?

Hopefully this episode will be so good that we continue discussing it ages after it's aired

Hello Oz and welcome to the forum.

Discussion is likely to continue for some time after the finale, certainly beyond the release of Caprica, the spin-off series, which will be available from 21 April. We are considering a BSG rewatch following that for hardcore fans, leading up to the premiere of The Plan (the final instalment of the BSG story) around Thanksgiving time. Then in 2010 the Caprica TV show begins.

Don't worry, you haven't joined at the end of anything. The end of the show is only the beginning...
