Way to hold it together, Chief... okay, he's finally calming down. Jeez, why doesn't anybody live there, where it's nice and pretty and stuff? Why does everyone live in the big gray cesspit? I mean, pre cylon invasion. Okay.... commando raid on the Baba Yar execution site.... Gunfire everywhere... Jammer took off his mask? OOOOh boy, they know they have a mole. And Anders knows EXACTLY who it was. So did they get all the centurions? Awww! Laura-Tom flirting!GREAT, CHIEF! SAY MORE in front of the still-live skin-jobs!!!!! I kinda liked that. Interesting how they act differently with each other on the planet. Yeah, I liked it, too.  |

I kinda liked that. Interesting how they act differently with each other on the planet. Yeah, I liked it, too. They see themselves as more on the same side now, I suppose. I wonder why they didn't feel like that before? While they were still in the fleet (i.e., before New Caprica) they were still at risk of being wiped out by the Cylons. And yet there was still political in-fighting and jockeying for power. Perhaps it was because, even though they were running for their lives, their living conditions hadn't changed enough (and I don't know if I'm saying that clearly enough to get across the way I mean it). Perhaps now that NO human has any significant power and the tenuousness of their existence is more evident, Tom and Roslyn will be able to work together better. I suspect, however, that once the population of New Caprica has been rescued, the political games will begin again.  |

Yes, now they have a common enemy, all their hatred/anger will be directed in that direction and the cause will bond them. Zarak should be a great asset to the Colonials because of his experience in the areas of resistance and revolt. |

Zarak should be a great asset to the Colonials because of his experience in the areas of resistance and revolt. Maybe that's why he's been in detention the whole time on New Caprica. And also why they didn't bother with Tigh, because they thought he was an ineffectual sot of a yes-man. |

I don't think that the resistance story arc is going to last very long. Look at how long the "civil war" story arc from Season 2 had lasted. In fact, the whole incident has been pushed to the background. It wasn't even brought up in the Sci-Fi Channel's recap of the show's Seasons 1 and 2.
Did Number 3 recognize the child, when she passed by it?

For some reason I remember it being another mother and child she went by, but I could be totally wrong on that score. |

It made me think of the scene in the mini-series where #6 is in the outdoor market...*shiver* |

I think you're probably right about the resistance arc...although I could imagine it lasting for the first half-season, I expect their days on New Caprica are numbered. |

It looks like they're going to get rescued and be on the run again. Likely, lots of story arcs will come from re-integrating into the remains of the fleet and then dealing with the ramifications of what happened on New Caprica. |

Here's a link to the one I remember: bsgmedia.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=206&pos=638Careful if you poke around in that gallery. There are spoilery ones for upcoming episodes, I do believe. <edit> I take that back - there aren't any caps of future episodes in that gallery. |

Oooh, are they going to bring up the baby swap? One hour earlier. Chief shaved!! When did he shave? And why now? The last thing your son wants is me and Ellen for parents. True dat. And it's good to see the Tigh sees himself clearly. Er, as it were. Is Boomer going to think that Chief's baby is hers? Burglar's Flats If Boomer gets killed now, will she get resurrected? So yep, it was the Resistance gunning down the firing squad. bullet heads Anders looks a bit like Zarek Where do we go from here? We're going home. Galactica = home now. Oooh, its the mini-series that Erin saw being filmed.  So Caprica and Gaius have been sleeping together all along. This is the real one, yeah? These things happen, or they don't happen. They are still doing polls? So now that Caprica has Giaus she's not happy with what he's become. What was she expecting? That's a really nice bed. Where the hell did it come from? Oh, she suspects about Boomer's baby. Who the hell are you, lady? Chamala again. Wow, the baby really does mean something to the Cylons. Well, Lucy Lawless at least. Kat is a tiny, tiny woman. Cool ritual. Doc Cottle!! Everybody dreams. He's been treating both humans and cylons. Lucy Lawless is on to Cottle. Cavil has the gall to be upset about the way the humans treated him? Bitching about downloading. Not worth it. None of this is worth it. Nuke the city? Jeez. Ah, they figured out it was her. This won't be good. So Maya doesn't suspect anything with all the moving around? Way beyond my pay grade. HEE!! being responsible for saving oneself. Ellen didn't have any choice. Hmm... You're not one of them. That's not Six said about her in the first season. Aaand the shoe drops. Dedonna Selloi Yeah, she thinks that the Chief's kid is hers. "children and grandchildren." Promise that the human race will survive. Also, 2 random thoughts occurred to me: Since Boomer and Helo are now married and seem to be more or less accepted, I wonder if they would try to have another child. I can think of reasons why they wouldn't, but since it was possible once, I wonder if it will be discussed. I wonder is Kasey is one of the cylon models we haven't seen yet. Heck, maybe the rest of them are children of various ages. Seems twisted and I don't see exactly why they would make one as young as Kasey, since one her age would be completely dependent on everyone else. But if she's not a hybrid, then maybe she's a full Cylon. |

Well, just like I did for Doctor Who, I thought I'd post my sort of rambly, sort of "stream of consciousness" notes from when I finally got to watching my taped ep. And then I'll read what everyone else posted. Ah, Ellen. You’ll get caught and Tigh will not be happy about what you did to save him. I empathise with how much you love him and how you “would do anything” for him, but . . .  They’re not making it easy to decide on anyone, are they? How do you choose between survival for yourself, your family and doing what is probably the right thing? Is Baltar wrong to think that if he survives he can maybe do something to help? He hasn’t been a stellar example of that yet. Is Gaeta right to stay inside, so he can pass information to the others? We’d probably all say yes, but what has he had to compremise on? Some of the human guards think they’re helping by joining and thus being able to perhaps make things less harsh, except they don’t seem to be able to except for individual ones and twos. Is that enough? What do they give up to accomplish that? Where do you draw the line to try and save the people you love? What about your child? It’s just grapple grapple grapple with the tough thinking on this show!! **grapples with brain, tires and gives up** ;D Ah – we see both apparent disasterous cliffhanger situations “an hour earlier” – so we know the background that will save people. In both cases, it’s a group of humans ready to ambush the ambushing cylons. Clever! Heee! “It’s been a while since I had a woman throw me to the ground.” Hmmmm. Trouble between Six and Baltar, that “well of self hatred and loathing”. Well, gee, why do you think he’s feeling that way?  Six and the other skin jobs are all finding that “winning” is not that satisfying somehow. Ha! Well, you were the ones that wanted to be all human-y with the feelings and stuff. Ah, there goes Xena 3 with her own issues. Huh. Prophetic dreams or something? Ooooh, this mystical human is interesting. “Don’t be scared – I know what you are.” She’s gotten under 3’s skin (pun intended). “Poor thing; must be terrifying.” Interesting. “Zeus sees you, number 3. Sees your pain.” Interestinger and interestinger! “You don’t know what you believe. . . . You’ll know what it is to feel true love and ?lose everything here?.” Well, that’s just all kinds of freaksomely interesting. So, she’s got 3’s number (so to speak). This bears watching. I wonder how it links up with all the prophetic stuff that 6 was saying to Baltar in the first season, and the stuff that the President saw when she was all drugged up? One thing I like about these mystical folks; seems like they get all the good drugs. #smirk# Huh. Dualla and Helo. They getting’ a little somethin’ going? Oooh, cool! I like seeing their different rituals and stuff. “Always together.” Neat! Ah, the Adama & Apollo conversations – how I love them. “I’m getting old. I’m a little slow, but I’ll be there.” Followed by much meaningful eye contact or perhaps a manly hug. “Don’t make me cry in my own hanger deck.” **sniffle** Doc! Cigarette-smokin’ Doc! Woot! Could have left the cylon to suffer . . . “That’s not what I do.” Ah, but helping to hide babies, that is what you do, eh? And 3 knows something is up. Hmmm. The downloads are getting harder? Man, that must mean Leoben is having a hell of a time now . . . And what’s this about clyon resources being thin? Hmmmmmm, interesting! Oh, yeah, that’s the answer – just nuke the city. Well, it’s not like you haven’t done it before. Ooooh, Sharon! Get Starbuck – save her!! Boy, Roslin is really invested in the half-cylon baby. Just as much as the cylons are. So, there’s one great big ugly custody fight comin’ up, isn’t there?  Also, all the “this baby is so special” stuff seems to point to Leoben not being totally honest with Starbuck about the other kid being theirs. Because that would be a half cylon, half human kid too, wouldn’t it? So either he’s lying or else this new kid is just as important as Sharon’s baby. Woah! 3 tells Sharon the baby is alive. She doesn’t believe it, but the seed of doubt has been planted. She is sooooo not gonna trust humans, trust Adama, again once she learns the truth. Great speech, Adama – go get ‘em, guys! Woo hoo! And now we just have to wait for the next ep. |
