Boomer and the Chief meet up secretly (or not-so-secretly) in the water tank. ...Can I just ask, is it really a good idea for Boomer to be anywhere near the water tank when she knows that she was responsible for putting explosives in it last time? And why hasn't bad Cylon Boomer done anything "Cylon-y" recently?
A suicide bomber? Really? Where did he get that bomb? He came from a civilian ship. Are we to believe fleeing Colonists just happened to have a bunch of explosives lying around? I'm not objecting to a Cylon doing something bad. But they are still machines of sorts, right? Couldn't he have some kind of self-destruct? I know Ron wants it to be "realistic", but this seems like just an excuse to use the "suicide bomber" image we're all used to from the news these days regardless of the sense behind it. ...And in the end, what was the point of his mission? Just explode something in the hallway? That's it? To what end?? Doesn't that just further alert the Colonists to Cylon presence in the fleet??
I continue to be confounded by the Helo story on Caprica. What are the Cylons keeping him alive for? It's been a month, for crying out loud!
I mentioned this in the "Murder on the Rising Star" post; every series has a courtroom episode, and here's this one. It's pretty good for a court episode. All the investigative stuff is interesting, and I've grown to like the Chief, so it was intriguing to see him sweat. I think they intentionally write him as BSG's Miles O'Brien (even down to him being a non-com Chief).
Whats-her-face in charge of the tribunal at one point says "Don't make me angry; you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Um... did this episode really need a quote from the Incredible Hulk?
Sesinos (or however you spell it) ends up in the brig, and Adama says it's for his perjury. The Chief tries to get him out since he was just trying to cover for him. Did this remind anyone of the Clinton impeachment, when people tried to argue that the perjury wasn't the real issue? (btw, yes it was.)
