Teaser
A day in the life.
Quoting poetry.
An ultrasound? Ah, this is of Caprica's and Tigh's baby. AWKWARD.
Why are none of these characters as creeped out as I am?
The first Cylon/Cylon pairing. The Cylon Nation will survive.
Under currents of Human resentment towards the Cylons.
Gaeta recaps last weeks episode.
A busy day in the sick bay it seems.
Press Conference. No comment. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
About the identity of the Fifth Cylon. So Tigh told the others about Ellen.
Zarek asserts himself. This should be interesting.

Credits
39,644 survivors. So a lot of suicides then.
Part I
Planning to move on.
Tension between civilian and military.
Interesting expressions on Gaeta and Helo here.
Tyrol's confusing his pronouns. Would you like a chart to keep it all straight? Hee!
About granting the Cylons citizenship.
Is that Nikki? He looks like a different actor now.
Nikki's got health problems. Because he's part Cylon?
What is Doc Cottle hiding?
Ohhh, Nikki's not even Tyrol's son. So who else isn't actually some person's child?
About Roslin.
Well, at least she's taking her medication. Or not.

Part II
Trying not to sway public opinion against "us." Meaning Adama and Roslin, not the government. They really are placing themselves above the law.
Gaeta's about to do something revolutionary, methinks.
Gaeta and Kara: barbs all around.
One day soon there's going to be a reckoning, Kara. And once again people are going to have to answer for what they've done.
Let's talk. Wow, he's more organized that I thought.
Quorum meeting. Zarek's proposing a coup? Or a vote of no confidence?
Oh, right. Lee is the Caprican representative.
Interesting to be siding so strongly against the main protagonists in this episode.
Love that music there.

Part III
Roslin's running. Well, at least she's getting some exercise.
I've been there; I've done that. Now what? Is there another role that I have to play?
Maybe I've earned the right to live a little before I die.
Back to Baltar's cult.
Military folk have joined in.
Interesting symbol: a bird of some sort?
Now the crowd is getting dangerous. And Baltar just observes the results of his rabble rousing.
Mutiny. Can't say they didn't see this coming.
You know there are days when I really hate this job. You said it.

Part IV
Order to arrest Zarek.
Me thinks there's going to be a soviet style revolution coming.
Oh, I guess Zarek didn't resist arrest.
Extortion. Law and Order. Martyrdom.
The difference between you and I is that you wear that uniform and I don't. Ooh!
How'd you do it? I appealed to his intellect. Heh.
So it was all a bluff. Interesting.
Every revolution begins with a small act of courage.
Roslin and Adama are sleeping together. Aww...
So the revolution happens in the next episode, I presume?

**snerk**
Good choice of words.

What I don't get is how they went from having angsty hate sex to being all lovey dovey. I mean, it doesn't surprise me so much from Caprica, but Tigh has, shall we say, a lot of issues. I didn't even think that they really wanted to be together.

Yeah, it will be easier with just ortho humans, but I guess they can't do it. Tyrol, you need a scorecard? Oh, Tyrol, trapped in the middle. And Tigh is clearly a Galactica man, still, even if he defines his loyalties no other way. RENAL failure? What the hell? Ah. So he's NOT half-cylon. And Ishay kinda sucks at patient confidentiality. So who IS the biodad? Oh hell, Tyrol, you're the dad even if you aren't the biological father. With the talk about Tyrol opening up a vein for his son, I wonder if they are going to somehow find out that a transfusion Cylon blood cures renal failure. And maybe Roslin's cancer??

OK, what the hell? Roslin, you're goin' nutty here! And what's wrong with Adama?! Spinning out of control, indeed. (Although, "frakkin' blah blah"? Funny! ;D ) Funny, but also heart-breaking. MM deserves an Emmy like whoa. I thought they illustrated that well with Adama picking up the scraps of paper to show the low morale of the crew. I was surprised at the amount of dark humor in this ep! Cottle's 'look with your eyes, er eye,' and Starbuck's 'get your kicks, well, half-kick' to Felix, and Roslin with her 'blah blah' and then Adama letting off steam about his job. It shows that as dire as things are, people can still find something to grasp onto, to laugh about, just to feel something positive in the midst of all the pain.

Yay! Civil war is beginning! Oh! He IS gonna be all "my two daddies!" with Hot Dog! Bitchy and giving at the same time. "That'll be after I sober up" Can't say as I blame him. Looks like the arrest went off without a hitch. Adama has Zarek's number, on the humiliation. Is the crap he's threatening Zarek with the real deal? Actual dirt, or fabricated? "You wear a uniform and I don't" Rendezvous coordinates for the Tylium ship? I guess so. LAUDNRY reports? HE WAS BLUFFING?!?! MAG FREAKING NIFICENT!!And Crap. the Tylium ship is a bomb. Oh, no. okay. Zarek is conspiring with Gaeta. Jesus, Gaeta, I'd think that by now you'd given up on hitching your horses to other people's wagons. Ah. no. It's wagon hitched to wagon. awwwwww!!!!! That is just a large dosage of utter sweetness before everything turns to shit, isn't it? Wasn't it??? Adama RULES. I thought the same thing!!Well said.

I didn't even think that they really wanted to be together. It was a sudden change, but that's what babies do to people sometimes. And this is a VERY special baby, so... I think it goes back to (as I said in an earlier post) people grasping for whatever bit of good exists when the rest of the world has turned to shit.
