- It doesn’t matter how much fuzz you grow, Col. Tigh. You will always look like John McCain to me.
- I wish someone would smack him with his flask.
- Chief is locked in a cell with Boomer. She seems to be very apologetic for shooting the Admiral. Perhaps the cylons hijacked her body to do it? I don’t know. I still don’t really like her.
- There are more human survivors on Caprica, apparently.
- Starbuck, you’re a professional soldier. Everyone knows guns akimbo does not actually work. And don’t shoot a gun upside down and behind you. You’re just wasting bullets and you know it.
- Looks like the whole martial law thing isn’t working out so great. I hadn’t thought about the other ships in the fleet giving fuel to the Galactica. Hopefully oil (or whatever they call it) is a good enough incentive to get Tigh back in line.
- “Toaster.” Haha. I get it.
- While on his way back to the brig, Apollo holds little meet-ups with Dee to get updates on his dad. I have to agree with her: it would be much better if he (Apollo) was in charge.
- So, it’s actually Mrs. Tigh who’s in charge, huh? Seems we have a bit of a Macbeth situation on our hands. I was hoping he could at least come up with his own stupid ideas.
- I like how the music changes when different characters are on the screen. Or rather, the percussion changes. I had noticed it with Six, but now it seems Col. Tigh has his own rhythm, too.
- And now there are riots and civilians are dying. Great.
- “Four civilians dead. How the frak could this happen?” “What did you expect, genius? You put a pilot in charge of crowd control.” I love the doctor.
- Even in her drugged state, the President summarizes everything with total clarity. With a splintered fleet, the cylons could pick them off, one ship at a time.
- Possible prison break?
- I didn’t know Tigh’s first name is Saul. This says wonders about his character. HISTORY/BIBLE LESSON: In the Old Testament, Saul was the first King of Israel, and he went from being a literal godsend to a blunderer to an insane megalomaniac. At one point, he ordered the military to go without food until they destroyed the enemy, and even tried to have his son, an officer who rebelled against the order, executed. David (from the story David & Goliath) was chosen by God to be the next king because Saul abused his power. Saul eventually fell on his sword in battle, whether by suicide or accident is still debated.
- Then there is Saul of Tarsus, aka Paul, from the New Testament. A Pharisee, Saul was a huge persecutor of early Christians. When on the road to Damascus to arrest other followers of Jesus, he had a vision of the Lord and spoke with Him. The experience blinded Saul temporarily. After that, Saul became an apostle of Jesus and did some crazy awesome stuff for his religion, like writing a lot of the New Testament.
- SO my point is, there’s a possibility Tigh will go the King Saul route – go crazy, get replaced by a much younger dude, and commit suicide – or the Saul Paul way – redeem himself in some epic way, get arrested, die a martyr. Or both. Whatever the case, I bet some big shiz is in store with his character.
- Then again, I could be reading into this WAY too much.
- Gaius comes into Chief and Boomer’s cell to do some cylon testing.
- SHI* Gaius, why are you killing Chief?? Sharon, do something!
- OH WAIT GAIUS IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING SMART OMGWHLKJFL:KDJSFFFF
- OK, there are 8 cylons onboard, according to Boomer. She’s one of them. Then there is Ellen Tigh. Maybe. That leaves…quite a few unknowns left.
- The Tigh’s have a really awkward relationship.
- So Madam President wants the doctor to do something illegal? Ma’am, do you see that cigarette in his mouth? I think it’s okay.
- DEE IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING SMART OMGWHLKJFL:KDJSFFFF
- To clarify: she gets Tigh to sign some documents while he's inebriated/not really paying attention.
- And I should note: she is not crying. At all. Awesome.
- Yeah, Cally! Throw those punches!
- This episode is great for so many characters.
- Lee is such a bad liar.
- Who is this chick blocking the President’s way out? Random.
- Billy tells the President he is not going with her and Apollo on the escape pod thingy because he fears starting a civil war amongst the fleet. No offense, Billy, but I’m not sure you’re that important.
- Tigh tells Hotdog to hold fire on the President’s ship as they escape. Phew. He still sort of has a heart.
- Oh shoot. I think Tigh knows Dee did something. She better start glassing up those eyes. Nobody can be mean to her then.
- Apollo reveals to the Pres. that Zarek is the only one who knew shady-enough people to hide them.
- Zarek totally wants to make out with the President. He wants her to call him Tom. D’awww.
- You better hope Adama stays unconscious...
- Back on Caprica.... I love fake basketball in space shows! It always looks way funner than its real counterpart.
- Aaaand Sharon is crying again. This time, though, I don’t blame her. Being the Galactica’s lab rat cannot be good.
- ADAMA YOU’RE ALIVE!!!!
- “What’s happening on my ship?”
- “I’ve really fracked things up. I’ve made some bad calls.” At least Tigh is sort of honest.
- Honestly, though, if you’re second-in-command, shouldn’t you at least have an inkling as to what to do in case your superior is incapacitated?
- Whoa. Sharon is down. Shot by Cally, no less. I…I have nothing to say about this.
- I like this emphasis on the blood drop. Shows that the cylons are living beings, too.
- Thoughts/Questions: So the President has “escaped” and Adama is back on the scene. Is he going to punish Tigh’s awfulness at all? All he’s said so far is that he and the alcy can “pick up the pieces together.” Is Tigh’s wife really a cylon or is she just a psycho? Is Gaius becoming more competent as a hero? He really took control in the brig cell, without a shred of his usual squirming. How is he going to have this ‘baby’ that Six keeps talking about? What happened to Pregnant-Sharon back on Caprica? She seems to have just disappeared. Is Starbuck going to hook up with this hot new guy? Probably.
Well hello there, handsome.
