Resurrection ship time, and eeww naked Cavil, did not need to see that. The Sixes are leading an ethnic cleansing apparently and then....eewww! Sharon kissing Cavil was not something I ever needed to see in this lifetime. Seriously.
Back on Galactica Cally appears to be as high as a kite, she's apparently turned into Mrs. Wyatt Earp but instead of laudunum she's hitting the little blue pills. So Cally has a drug problem...gosh, this is the kind of character development-y information that would've come in handy previously. I suppose with a screaming baby to have to deal with and a husband who's apparently spending very little time at home I can't say as I blame her.
Meanwhile Tyrol's chatting with Tori while she downs ambrosia. And uh-oh here comes the little missus tripping the light fantastic. Tori also seems to be hitting on Tyrol who's both freaked out and grossed out, good for him! Then Cally comes staggering over with that Jack Ruby gleam in her eye...dude, remember what happens when Cally gets upset, people die!
Back to laura and her space chemotherapy and in walks Adama to read to her and every woman in the room coos, "Awwww..." as one. And he's reading her a noir detective story set on Caprica. Ok too fucking cute.
Lee's on the Quorom now apparently representing Caprica. Laura gets asked a far more difficult question by her press pool than in the real world, which makes me very sad. She's got no hard feelings towards Lee, so there. Then they ask about the ship that Kara took and the press conference is over. Laura takes Bill back to her office for a little bitch session about the Demetrius, and the lady is not pleased about his decision. He earned a lot of points in the previous scene, though, so she doesn't even vaguely consider air locking him.
Meanwhile on the Demetrius Kara doesn't seem to be having much luck figuring out where they're going. And woah, there's Mr. Gaeta! Helo is trying to keep the troops in line with limited success. Anders attempts to warn Kara what's up and she basically tells him to shut his bitch ass up.
On the base ships the centurians are still mopping up the blood from the massacre. Cavil pops by to talk to Six and wants to make peace. The Sixes demand that they stop lobotomizing the raiders and unbox the D'Annas. Cavil doesn't seem too happy and Six puts him off the ship. Of course she needs to use the magic word with the centurian who seems to be thinking, "Put him off your own damn ship." Yeah the centurians are already getting uppity, but presumably decades of doing the shit work has left them somewhat bitter.
Ok could Lee look any more out of place in a business suit? Huh. Anyway as Lee takes a seat at the big table Zarek wanders in to remind us that he's the Vice President and that he's a Man of the People. He's getting that dictatorial vibe off of Roslin and he's not totally wrong about that. He leaves a folder labeled classified for Lee to read.
Cally's visiting the Doc, asking for drugs and unload on him. Apparently our little Cally is a whole lot more messed up than we thought. Again, would've been great to have seen this sometime before this episode. You know, a gradual revelation of just how screwed up she's become or even a few comments from Tyrol previously.
Kara's back to painting again and Anders comes in to whine some more. Kara tells him their whole marriage was a mistake but Anders whimpers that hey they've got matching tattoos, and that means something, right? God could he be any more pathetic? They start fighting which quickly turns into a plea for sex. "C'mon Sam, make me feel something. I dare you." She is totally closing her eyes and pretending he's Lee.
Presumably after hot, dirty sex we see Kara having an existential crisis that pleases Anders as he's pretty sure it means she's a cylon.
Cavil shows up to admit defeat and says hey let's go get the D'Annas. That should be fun.
Quorum meeting turns ugly pretty quickly as the Demetrius issue comes up again and again. Some spunky little delegate pipes up, "You can kiss my ass!" and we all fall instantly in love with her. Lee stands up to address the quorum and attempts to kiss Laura's ass, but the president verbally bitch slaps him back into his place. Lee, however, is no bitch and he pulls out the classified folder which covers her new special order creating a private executive justice system. Laura pulls some smooth legal moves to get herself out of that particular corner and her eyes say, "You do realize this means war..."
And of course the Cavils have lead Six and her merry band into a trap without a resurrection ship. Good-bye Eights except for Sharon and Athena, also the last Six is now on Galactica as far as we know. Wow. Also interesting that the Cavils are very much non-believers.
Cally has a few flashbacks to happier times before finding a note inviting Tyrol to the latest Final Five super secret meeting. A meeting she's going to sincerely wish she'd never attended methinks. Showing more spunk than she has in a couple of seasons she wiggles her way into an access tunnel to listen in. Apparently Tigh left him the note and then blurts out the whole hey we're all skin jobs thing while Cally loses her frakkin' mind.
Also Aelf noted that the weapons locker was 1701-D...cute.
Cally continues her freak out, though when Tyrol enters she's all 'Nothing to see here'. Fine, fine, everything's just fine. I like what they're doing with keeping Tyrol blurry and giving his voice a metallic, echoing quality. Then he starts talking about having another baby and that does it, she picks up a wrench and beats his head in before taking off with the baby. Again, do not fuck with Cally, there will be blood.
She walks into the airlock with the baby in her arms, is it the same airlock she and Tyrol were previously trapped in? There'd be a nice symmetry to that. Cally starts the airlocking process as Tori tries to talk sense into her. "We're not evil. We're not inhuman. And we're just as scared and confused as you are." Tori is calm and kind and for a second you think oh now nice! But then she takes Nicky and backhands Cally before pushing the magic button.
Bye Cally. A bit gratuitous to show her dead body floating out in space, if you ask me.
Next we see Tyrol being told by Adama and his expression is unreadable. How is he going to react to this? Badly would be my thought.
Gotta' say I didn't like this episode too much and that disappoints me. C'mon, writers, you started out so well and now you give us this? You can do better than that.
