Battlestar Galactica:Seaon 2 Part3 7.29.05

[Truth Seeker]

"Fragged", Episode #203.

The return of democracy to the fleet brings with it both hardball politics and potentially deadly intrigue.

Cast: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Richard Hatch.

Okay, it can get worse, what do we have, a commander-in-chief in a health crisis. A president removed from her position, for over stepping her bounds, a commander's son trying to find his way through things, and wait... and a Exo who really don't want to be abroad or in charge of anything, expect the fraggin' bottle.

I know I missing somethings...fill it it.

Oh yeah, quotes of the day: Bitch took my ride, & Mother fragker.

I can't help but feel sorry for Tigh. Originally, he seemed like just a jerk, but since we've had a chance to see him sans drinking/wife, its just harder to see him fall back into the old ways. Especially since he knows he's no leader.

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

Tigh sure blew it that episode. It seems the Cylons are doing what they can to push Baltar further and further. Now he's killed a man. Justifiably, but still. I love how I can never be entirely sure where he's going to end up. He could go either way, I think. No Starbuck at all, unless I missed her while switching back and forth from Baseball Tonight.

I really wonder what Adama is going to do when he's back on his feet.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

No Starbuck at all, unless I missed her while switching back and forth from Baseball Tonight.

Nope, no Starbuck or Helo at all. They may not be much of a focus next episode either...but they'll definitely start appearing soon. Have to get that arrow to the right place and do all that stuff with it.

I really wonder what Adama is going to do when he's back on his feet.

That will sure be interesting. He's got on hell of a mess to clean up, and looking at the preview for next week, its not getting any better.

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

I think Tigh was taking one for the team. He declares martial law and takes the heat, then Adama comes back and can be the good guy.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Oh, and random thought before I pass out for the night.

There's definitely some connection between Kobol and the Cylons. 'Six' kept referencing things about there being a lack of divine presence or something similar to that on the planet...seems strange for her usual "God is everywhere" thing.

 

[Darrin Drader]

Maybe the cylons have gotten their butts kicked on Kobol as much as the humans have.

And why is it that the humans had to evacuate in the first place? There's alot about Kobol that we don't know yet, and I think it will be important to the season.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Wow...what a show . Now, must sleep.

Overall, a strong episode. I watched half last night at 1am (when I got back from our weekly D&D session), and the rest today, so I really want to sit down and watch the entire thing.

Six's prediction that someone would betray the others paid off in spades. Depending on how you look at it, 4 people betrayed others (Callie by freaking out and not doing the mission, the LT for threatening to kill Callie, the Chief for violating chain of command and Gaius for being Gaius).

I think that quite possibly, Gaius would have always killed the LT, but now Six gets to take credit for it, and push him even further. Genius.

Back on the Galactica, it was nice to see Billie working the angles and securing more Extract once he figured out how to to so, and just in time fo ruin Tigh's show and tell.

While Tigh's behavior is consistent, I've always grudgingly liked him, but this episode he flushed it all away. I hope he pays handsomely for his actions.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Just love the look on his face *Tigh's face* when he thought the council would have gotten to see a looney president, instead...she lets it all out, about her cancer.

WOW, that was gutsy...

And she came out much stronger .

Now the hype on the prophet is being fed to a higher degree.
