In your review you wrote, Roslin approaches Adama on the bridge to console him about the verdict. Only...it turns out he was the swing vote. Roslin is not happy. If they were having a secret affair before, they aren't anymore.

What do they say to each other? Does Roslin say she never wants to see Adama again? Is there any indication that Adama already knew about the cancer?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't remember her exact words, but she makes it clear that in her mind, he let her down by letting Baltar walk free. I think she'll forgive him eventually, but it will be a while before they're back to calling each other up in the middle of the night to chat. Their jobs have finally gotten in the way of their relationship in a way neither of them is ready or willing to back down on.

Adama definitely knows about the cancer before the trial begins -- he tries to stop Lee from questioning her about the camala root and is overruled by the other judges. (So it's clear that he knew she was taking it, and why.)

DH just reminded me of a point I'd forgotten about (and that everyone seems to) -- Hera is no longer the only Cylon hybrid baby in the fleet, because Tryol's son is half-Cylon too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jessica,

do you think it is likely that Roslin is having the dreams because she was injected with cylon blood? That her being the 5th is a red herring?

I have no idea. I wouldn't even call it a red herring -- it's not directly suggested by the text, it's my own hunch/theory.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

5thing the Jess is an awesome spoiler ho. Really, on a day I needed to smile, that went a long way.

You've left me utterly thrilled. Thank you, Jessica!

Thanks Jessica. This spoiler stuff is great.

I think that D'Anna was apologizing to Anders for threatening to kill him in the garage back on Caprica, but it could easily be Saul.

What I was wondering, how did you feel about the Starbuck reveal at the end? Might they edit that out before it airs? It just seems so fake to me.

The whole last sequence is pretty surreal, so that moment doesn't stand out as "fake" in context. I really doubt they'll cut it.

Personally I liked it because it's what I'd been assuming happened to Kara all along - I didn't buy her being dead dead for a second, not with all that buildup to Kara Thrace's Special Destiny.


Karie23 - Mar 15, 2007 5:24:01 am PDT #1887 of 3486

Thanks sooooo much for the spoilers, you don't know how much stress you've taken off of me by confirming Kara's return.

I have a question, if you don't mind. What do you remember about the L/D breakup? Do we see them breakup, or do we just hear from one of them later that they did? Did Dee say she wants a divorce, or just does what she did in TAB where she walks out and sort of waits for him to come make it right?

Does this happen in CRI or II?

Again, thanks so much! You are so my supplier now!

We see her packing her things and moving out -- I doubt there was time for an official divorce, but it's clear we're supposed to assume the marriage is over. (Of course, that was also the implication about his military career a few scenes before, and he was back in the flight suit less than an hour later, so who knows what they'll decide to do with them in S4. Personally I really don't want to see any kind of drawn-out reconcilliation subplot, because Lee/Dee is SO FRACKING DULL.)

It did occur to me at the time that, really, HE should be the one moving out, since as a civilian, those are no longer his quarters.

Does this happen in CRI or II?

I really wish I could remember! We watched them back to back, and I didn't realize they weren't airing as a two-hour block until much later. I think it's in the beginning of part 2, but don't hold me to that.
