Battlestar Galactica, S01 E07 – Six Degrees Of Separation

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Spoiler frenzy!

Oh, ho, ho!  It’s all catching up with Gaius Baltar.

Shelly Godfrey ( a Number Six) arrives on the Galactica with damning evidence against Baltar.

Kara is back on her feet, kind of, and as grouchy as ever.

And as Baltar begs for help, President Roslin passes out and Doc Cottle runs to her rescue.  Her cancer is running out of control.  And then Baltar is brown-nosing Gaeta to get access to the evidence.  Bad Gaius, bad!

And back on Caprica.  Poor old Helo.  I’d love for that guy to get a break.  Right now he’s dragging Caprica Boomer around unaware that she’s a toaster.

Highlights?  “No more mister nice Gaius.”  hohoho!

Battlestar Galactica, S01 E06 – Litmus

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Spoilers?  (I mean, who hasn’t already seen Battlestar Galactica, I ask you.)

Ooh, Cally is encouraging the Chief / Galactica Boomer canoodling.  That can’t end well.

And are Cylons on board the Galactica?  Yep, It’s a Doral (Number Five) and he’s just blown himself up!  Messy boy.  Caused three dead and thirteen injured.

They get the Master At Arms involved and tell her about the humanoid Cylons.  And she gets her independent tribunal / investigation.  Will this end well?  Let’s hope not.

But questions are asked and fingers get pointed at the Chief.

Meanwhile President Roslin holds court with the reporters in the fleet about the humanoid Cylons.

And on Caprica?  Caprica Six, a Doral and a Caprica Boomer are watching Helo closely.

Highlights?  When the kangaroo court goes badly wrong and Adama smacks the Master At Arms down.  Quality.

Battlestar Galactica, S01 E05 – You Can’t Go Home Again

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

SPOILERS!?!

And they think Starbuck is alive, and by “they” I mean Adama and by “alive” i mean alive…  yeah, okay.

Head Six is seriously messing with Baltar and for good reason.  Exactly when will the Cylons return when they realise one of their patrols is missing?  Personally I’d leave Starbuck to her fate.  She’s a mouthy pain in the ass at the best of times.

And back on Caprica?  Helo and Caprica Boomer are holding tight.  Ah, lovely, lovely Helo.

Ahem.

But Cylons abound and one finds its way into the cafe where Helo is making breakfast.  Heh, a toaster alerted by a toaster.

Highlights?  Adama.  Actually anything with Adama wins for me.

Battlestar Galactica, S01 E04 – Act Of Contrition

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Spoilers?

Ah, memories of Zac.  And an explosion in the hangar bay takes out a hundful of other pilots.  The upside is that you haven’t met any of them, so the loss is little.

And flashbacks of Kara and Lee getting it on?  Naughty, naughty.

Adama wants Kara to train a new batch.  And the last one she trained was Zac, who she passed because he was crap but they were doing the horizontal rumba.  I can’t see him being happy when he finds out…  Oh yeah, he does.  Oops.

Back on sunny Caprica, Helo and Caprica-Boomer find a fallout shelter.  Very cosy.

And President Roslin finally gets to see Dr. Cottle.

Highlights?  Dr. Cottle.  I could watch him all the time.  The crotchety old bugger.

Battlestar Galactica, S01 E03 – Bastille Day

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

SPOILER WARNING!!!  Just Like Before!

Boomer and Crashdown found a sourse of water.  But they need bodies to get to it.  So Lee Adama goes to a prison ship in the fleet to bargain work for time off their sentence.  And who do we see?  Why, it’s Apollo from the original series.  Oh, sorry.  My mistake.  It’s Tom Zarek.  But they both look remarkably similar…

Baltar continues to bullshit about his Cylon Detector.  Colonel Tigh is tucking back into his bottle and Lee, Billy and Dee fall foul of Zarek and the inmates.  Boooooooo.
