Dr. Cottle tells Adama something about Caprica Six in relation to Tigh. Now, I was all set to have it be something like his semen was discovered in her or something. They've been doing things in there, and that would make some sense. But no, Adama says that she is pregnant. At this point, I had to blurt out, "That's impossible!" We have been told since the beginning of season 2 that the reason the Cylons were doing their experiments with humans in the first place was their need to procreate. They needed humans because Cylon models couldn't reproduce together. Remember that? That's why Helo and Sharon have a baby. That's why Kara is minus one ovary. But now apparantly Tigh is a Cylon AND he got another Cylon pregnant. NO WAY. They can try to double-talk about the Final Five being different all they want, but as far as I'm concerned the rules were that Cylons couldn't reproduce. To have Cylons reproducing is to break the rules, and throw away any vestiges of what "plan" the Cylons ever had. It's yet one more stupid development this season.
The title is used in the episode by Romo. I must ask, is it straining credibility for the Colonials to know Latin? Or are we to put this in the same box as the fact they speak English. Are we just taking it as legalese or a kind of cognate of English?
Remember way back in the miniseries when I ragged on Apollo for being named Lee? Well, it gets worse. I take that back. Here we learn his full name is Leland. Really, Leland? Apollo is a silly name for a character, but Leland is fine? They couldn't have just stuck with plain Lee? What's next; is Kara really named Karabelle?
The political machinations have gotten to the point where they no longer make any sense. Lee (Leland, snicker) is now the President. ...What? So they are apparently stating that you DON'T need to elect the President, and can instead just appoint whoever you want? REALLY? May I ask how Baltar was ever allowed to serve then? How does this government function? Why would Zerek just roll over and allow this? Then again, why did he roll over and allow Roslin to take over? Everything he argued about dictatorship in "Bastille Day" has come true! And Lee, the one who convinced him that the will of the people would be served by democratic election, has now overridden that system and proclaimed himself President. That's just plain nonsense. There is no way this can end well. I hope Roslin chews him out for it. I don't care if Adama has personal feelings for Roslin. Zerek was President. Heck, Adama showed Baltar more respect! I know Zerek is idealistic, can be a rabble rouser, and was a terrorist. But dang it, he believes in democracy! And who wouldn't be disheartened trying to work in a system that appoints people it likes to the office?
The discovery of the debris and the fact Roslin is missing doesn't worry me. The next episode is called "The Hub" so I assume that it will cover the events we didn't see regarding the base ship. Will Roslin get much more out of the hybrid? I'm inclined to think not.
