Today brings BSG 4.5 Webisode Chapter 3. Highlights: we analyze Brook’s woefully inadequate tool kit, speculate further on Backyard BBQ eight’s relationship with Gaeta on New Caprica, make Clue jokes galore (”It’s Brooks at the scrubber with the uninsulated pliers!”), wonder what Gaeta’s going to do with all the bodies, and debate the finality of the Cylon’s inability to download.
I was a little worried when this 'sode began by rehashing the last few seconds of the previous 'sode, especially considering it was only 2 1/2 minutes long. But I think they’ve done good again.
I certainly didn’t expect to see Pilot Sharon go first. But how did The Killer know to strip the insulation off the pliers?
There will be blood.
“my milkshake! is better than yours…!”
I can’t wait for the 'sode-cast!
Cool to get some action. It seems that BYBBQ8 is indeed a novel 8 that Felix had a past with way back in NC. It appeared he was passing the list we see him writing in the openning flashbacks to her. Apparently there may have been the seeds of a Cylon Rebelion dating to the NC era.
Yeah, that was really strange, since the killer must have done it before they got on the Raptor; I think somebody else would’ve noticed in such cramped quarters if someone had bee stripping the pliers once they were already there.
So, I guess Brooks is Suspect #1, which means it probably can’t be him.
I think that this incident on the Raptor is the beginning to all the craaaaap we have seen in the previews for 4.5
Cause check it, in the previews there is chaos and mayhem. Adama in an airlock. Tigh, Apollo & Starbuck running around with guns. Some of the Finals + 6 & 8 in a cell talking about how they will be killed. And yet at the beginning of these webisodes everything is all fine and dandy (minus the running from Cavil thing)
if its true that it happened before they jumped, then whoever did that would have known that something was going to go wrong in the jumps. and would have known that they would have to jump. so im guessing that somehow they engineered the false alarm within the fleet that made it appear as though cavil’s baseships had jumped in…
but what could your motivation be for isolating one raptor? could it be that BYBBQ8 wanted some alone time with felix? gaeta didnt even want to take time off as we saw in webisode 1. they’ve definitely got me guessing
“bybbq8”
lmao
Ooo…the plot doth thicken…
I’ve decided to listen to this bonus cast BEFORE I listen to the writer’s commentary this time. I always find it a little disorienting when I know inside information from the commentary that ChuSeanDra don’t know. That’s why, when BSG is “in season” I typically try to listen to GWC cast before the RDM cast.
Yeah, I recommend that approach as well.
I like the idea that the cylons (who at the time knew they were cylons) could have had a role collaborating with the resistance… that would be an interesting position that hasn’t been tried out in the show before.
Otherwise, poor pilot Eight. It’s interesting that there wasn’t too much resistance to her trying - though more than one might expect were they truly comrades, right? Or am I idealizing the bond between hunted peoples?
THis is definitely a case of sabotage. The question then becomes who & why? Which brings you to…how did they know who would be on the ship with enough time beforehand to do the sabotage?
At first blush, you’d have to look at Brooks, but he could easily have electrocuted himself by acident. So I’m thinking one of the pilots…but why? Who was their target?
I’m thinking BYBBQ8 was definitely helping Gaeta to pass info to the resistance…I’m not sure she knew it was going there but she was definitely passing info. I knew the 8’s were sympathetic…I had no idea they were that close to actual seperation from the rest of the cylons though.
The fact that 8s may have had a predilection for rebelling and helping the humans way back, may make Boomer’s betrayal of the 8s that much more significant. Then again the 8s before haven’t been portrayed as having that much gumption, so I’m kind of surprised that another one other than Athena betrayed the Cylons on her own. Then again (yes a double then again) maybe BYBBQ8 has feelings for Gaeta. The 8s do have a tendency to fall hard in love which will apparently override their cylon allegiances.
I just realized how bad we would all feel if Backyard BBQ 8 got electrocuted. :eek:
I must say her performance in the 'sode was well-done…
HAHAHA! I love the beep when Chuck says w@#$%n ship.
Anyone else think that the safety installation being striped off might be a red herring? That seems like a pretty unreliable assassination technique. Even if someone was trying to off Brook – in spite of his winsome personality – by screwing with his tools, I can think of better ways to do that.
thanks, internet is just a series of tubes
