Caprica's baby seems to be doing well. I was glad they addressed the fact that this is the first time Cylons have been able to breed. Did the Cylons on Earth reproduce? Is this a function of the old Cylons? If this indeed means that Cylons can reproduce and their race will not die out, there are implications for the series as a whole. The whole reason the Cylons didn't wipe out humanity outright is because they needed to learn to "love" and thus procreate, right? So doesn't this mean that humanity is no longer safe, and that an alliance is a very bad idea?
Ellen being the fifth Cylon creates a real problem that's been bothering me. Several episodes ago, Roslin and D'Anna clearly said that the "Final FIVE" were in the fleet. But Ellen is dead. So did she resurrect? Is she hiding somewhere in the fleet? Or is this just another example of a continuity error due to writing without a plan? Lee was a real moron about letting slip that "she is dead".
I note that they've changed the main titles again and eliminated that stuff about Earth.
Hey, Gaius got a haircut! I'm glad he's acknowledged that he's just been making all this stuff up. I could not believe that God was really filling his mouth with all the drivel he's been spilling. And Six telling him that whenever he speaks he's inspired smacks of the circular logic the Catholic church uses about the Pope speaking "ex cathedra".
Aha, so Nicholas is NOT Tyrol's son. On the one hand that's good because it eliminates the lingering magic baby question, but on the other hand it makes Callie a slut. Did we need to besmirch her so? When was this kid conceived? The doc says it was before their marriage. Does that mean it was before he proposed, and that he beat up a pregnant woman who then had her jaw wired shut? Or is it that they were engaged after that, then she slept with the other guy, thus making her a two-timing skank? Neither option seems good. I think it was just a quick fix on the writers' part realizing that there was collateral damage from Tyrol being a Cylon.
Zerek at one point says the "Adama-Roslin administration" (isn't that a fun way to refer to it?) strung the fleet along with a lie and that "Earth was a mirage". Um, no it wasn't! It was real! There was a planet! They walked on it! Nobody ever promised it would have been habitable at this point. You can't fault them for not knowing the condition of a planet 2000 years into the future. But they said they would find Earth and they did and it was real! Why are they getting blamed for all that? It's the Cylons' fault the planet is inhabitable! Blame Tigh!
On one hand, since the Cylons were apparently the "thirteenth colony", then having them in the quorum makes a certain sense on their side. But it really is tactically stupid. Why are they allied with the Cylons anyway? The Cylons can't keep from killing each other. What makes Adama think this is a good idea?
Favorite line: "Oh, if I'm their father, these people are in for more trouble than they know." For once, Baltar speaks undeniable truth.
