Oooooo, sexy head-six laying out on Baltar’s head beach again trying to get Baltar to believe that she is an Angel sent by God to guide him. If Head-Six IS an Angel, does that make Head Baltar, Caprica’s Angel from God or does one have nothing to do with the other?
What kind of crazy strategy is it for the cylons, especially JUST after their stellar experience on New Caprica, to decide to relocate to the 13th colony, Earth?!? Do they think the colony is abandoned? Do they want to try Occupation 2.0? I doubt the Brother Cavil models are behind this plan, they always wanted to stop hijacking human goals and go their own way, like he stated when first revealed as a cylon in the brig.
Now that we’re in the rewatch, seeing Tigh hallucinate hearing Ellen’s voice in his quarters has a whole new meaning now that he’s been revealed as a cylon and the voice could just as well be part of a projection instead of him falling into madness.
This episode features a lot of new info and revelations. It marks the END of fat Lee, I bet Audra (and many others) are VERY happy about that. Gotta love the newfound modesty in Baltar when he stumbles across Naked Tai (Tigh?) Chi Boomer and manages to take another peek before averting his eyes! Also, the ep where Athena (at least her moniker) is born. Lots more firsts in this ep, like the intro of the hybrid and seeing the inner workings of a cylon bridge with water controls.
Hey, bonding between Starbuck and Tigh while arguing that the Galactica crew that was on ship during the entire New Caprica stint had no idea what sacrifice was during that time. It’s interesting comparing Starbuck and Tigh (two potential cylons) to Boomer and Caprica-Six (the two cylon war heroes whose words carried extra weight and unbalanced the scales of how much sway any particular cylon had) and how similar that sounds to Helo’s conversation with Adama in the admiral’s quarters.
The hybrid, in the midst of her rambling, states “end of line” which is a great Tron ref making for a nice connection to the DTA Tron rewatch. Interesting, how a hybrid’s reaction to FTL jumps seems rather orgasmic (whether the hybrid wants to jump or objects).
After being schooled by Adama and having him take away what was probably one of the most precious aspects of their relationship (their pseudo father-daughter status), Starbuck starts on the path of revising her ways and lops off her long golden locks in what looks like the most painful way possible, sawing it off with her ankle knife. Then heading toward the refugee area and visiting her own pseudo daughter (Casey), all while we see Saul plummet deeper into his stupor drinking and grieving over Ellen.
