I talk about this a bit in the podcast; I don’t think he was surprised at all that it was a guy Hoshi was with. I think he was surprised that it was an officer that he worked with. And I think the exposed personal connection plus the “too many losses already” struck Tigh on a personal level.
Completely wrong but…
Maybe Sweet 8 some heard Gaeta singing and she is now an obsessed fan.
If think she’s an 8 from New Caprica. I’d like to believe it’s Boomer, but she’s way too warm and friendly to be Boomer. But if it is Boomer, she could have gotten there, because she left the Hub as it was being destroyed at the same time as D’Anna and Helo.
(I gotta say, I’m hoping Boomer and the Chief get together in 4.5. )
Totally for it. She’s a crazed Caprican Idol fan.
I was thinking the same thing. Her and the knuckle-dragger are the obvious candidates, which means it’s someone else.
She does have a crazy-stalker-fan air about her.
Well said. I had the same thought.
All this podcasty goodness! Twice a week! Oh, I’m so happy, it’s like Christmas… (oh, wait…)
Well I just assumed that everybody had heard.
I can’t get the system to quote that definition of “Felix,” but boy, they sure do pile on the irony, don’t they?
I keep wondering how that morpha Hoshi handed Gaeta is going to play into all this. Perhaps it would put people to sleep, so they’d breath less?
I’m in agreement on Backyard Barbeque Eight being from New Caprica. Isn’t it kind of cruel of her to expect Gaeta to recognize her, even if they did have some special attachment to one another? She has to realize she has a few thousand twin sisters walking around.
to me, that was definitely boomer. that was my initial reaction. now thinking back i realize they would have some explaining to do, as to why the other 8 didn’t recognize boomer as someone who sided with the cavils…etc. but i think they can find a way to explain it. cause it makes it a really cool scene if it is boomer.
All good points made in the cast. I also think part of Hoshi’s reluctance to speak plainly was simply the fact that it is unprofessional to let personal feelings guide military actions. He didn’t want it known or even inappropriately inferred that his desire to actively search for Gaeta was due to the fact that the have a relationship. We saw how much craaaaaaaaaaaap Tigh gave Adama and Lee for risking the fleet for what was presumed to be a lost cause looking for Kara way back in season 1.
Word.

I’m rewatching this 'sode and I’m thinking, Audra’s right, Shark’s got really red lips. And he’s pale. I mean deathly white…
oh no! Shark’s a vampire!
I don’t think it’s Boomer at all. Last we saw of Boomer she was running out of the room when D’Anna & helo got off the exploding ship.
That 8 totally has that teenage girl crush look to her when she’s asking Gaeta if he remembers her. Honestly, it’s kinda creepy. The knuckledragger is definitely gonna bea problem. I also think the cylon pilot is gonna be mouthy but she’s the one that will interface with the ship. For whatever reason they end up doing that…if the flash at the beginning of the first webisode leads to what it appears it will.
Yeah. I’m thinking it’s a New Caprica indiscretion.
I had the same question…
And this sounds like a very good explanation.
Eeeeeew I just got an image of a basestar full of skeevy Cavils. Just, ew.
That was my favorite moment in this webisode - it was so natural that Hoshi should care so much for Gaeta that he would do the same for Gaeta that Adama did for Roslin… sigh. Lovely.
Next one’s Wednesday?
It’s official. There is something I want to see LESS than Hotdog’s rash.
gaf.
I Totally agree, I think the close up on the eye patch emphasizes his reflection on personal loss, but I got the sense there was an initial reaction from the old starhound.
Chuck - The Aircraft Carrier thing is partly true, but gossip is pretty good about letting the crew know whats going on. Radio knows everything since all information goes thru there. I might be a little bias due to working in CDC(CIC BSG).
I don’t believe it’s Boomer as the first one that shoot the Admiral. but yet maybe the other 8 that downloaded her memories in Season 4.0 .
