Serious issues of crowding and interpersonal fallout from the time on New Caprica and . . . . OMG, hipbones of Helo . . . . Um. I mean, look! There's conflict about living space and who is in charge of things and OMG, he's just so pretty and angsty and rugged. Ahem. Sickness!! The Sagitarans have sickness and they don't like doctors or the military and want to stick just with each other. Huh. Dualla is a Sagitaran. Helo Helo Helo. You are sooo screwed. And sooooo pretty. Very pretty! And he has a pretty good left hook, too. I was soooo glad he socked Tigh one.

see, I was wandering about that. I knew he conjured her up, but I didnt know she was conjuring him. That's the first time Caprica has done this - that we've seen. It's kinda shocking! As I understand it he does it cause he is infatuated/in love with Six. Is she as a Cylon gone and fallen in love with Baltar?

Doc tells a different story from the boy's mom, of course. And at the bar, no one else is happy with them either. Even Dualla complains. Sharon visits 6 - genuine concern and gratefullness for helping her and the baby escape. But maybe also a bit of "good cop"? Yay!! The Baltar in her head is back! Telling her she wants to be human. "There's a trick to being human. . . . Think only about yourself." Huh. Roslin and crew see her talking to mind!Baltar. How many times did Baltar get caught or almost get caught talking to his own mind!Six. Ah, good times. A little riot among the Sagitarans. And the doc admits to treating a guy without consent. And "maybe" too late, maybe not. Is he just going a bit nuts from frustration or is there a more viscious mentality at work? Helo goes to voice his suspicions and . . . smackdown. Woah. Even Adama gets all up in his face. And we have a bigger showdown with Tigh. Ah, and it keeps coming back to the divisions between who was on New Caprica and who was "safe" up on the ships. Between who was part of the resistance on New Caprica and who wasn't. I knew that would continue to have repurcussions.

Hi Spring! There's a catch-up video on the Scifi.com website, if you're interested in some background info. Helo (the main character in tonight's episode- the guy in charge of the Saggitarons) - is married to Sharon - a Cylon, who he had to kill to get her to be reborn on the Cylon ship and rescue their daughter - Hera. Well - I had no idea that humans could marry Cylons, much less have kids with them. I guess sex with robots is more common than most people think.

Oh. My. God. Caprica Six has conjured up Baltar! And he's clean-shaven. And mean, too! I love mind!Baltar. He can be just as cruel and torturous as mind!Six. ;D

I see from your comment that she has. I must have missed that. Helo really is programmed to help the oppressed - no matter who or what they are.

Serious issues of crowding and interpersonal fallout from the time on New Caprica and . . . . OMG, hipbones of Helo . . . . Um. **nods very very vigorously** If I can't have hipbones of Apollo, I will gladly substitute Helo hipbones. Long as I get me some skin, I'm happy.

Is this the first time for Caprica? Did we see mental!Baltar in a different model Six before? I can't keep all of them straight sometimes. Well, most times, actually. ;D

Dualla, Dead? No yet! Roberts has to die. 90% death rate of the Saggitarons he treated? That was ignored?

Well, on the one hand, it certainly was a stand-alone ep, in that it didn't matter that I didn't know - uh - frack - about any of the characters. On the other hand, it can't have been a very exciting ep for regular viewers, as very little seemed to have happened that was about . . . well, any arc they may have going.
I don't understand about Helo's wife, because I thought that character was a human character called Boomer, not a Cylon with a different name. But I am basing that on looking up pictures for the Cuties, so I may have misinterpretted stuff.
Seems like a good show; don't know if I will have the wherewithall to try to get to know it in midrun.
