I don't understand why Xena-Cylon is so attached to baby Hera. That's Sharon and Helo's baby, right?
Yes, the Sharon that was on Caprica with Helo and came back to the Galactica. But I would imagine that Xena-Cylon is attached in much the same way as RayK-Cylon is, in that the baby was in her dreams, and therefore plays some part in Xena-Cylon's future, or experience. Just as RayK-Cylon saw Kara in his dreams and now is being a crazy stalker with means and no moral compulsions about imprisoning the object of his affections.
Okay. RayK is the one who was holding Starbuck, yes? Leobon? (Sorry, the RayK name is going right over my head.) I knew she'd knife him, by the way, and might have given a little squee when she twisted it. Dh thought she was going to stay with him because of Kacey.

Thanks, SA. This is why I need to watch the first two seasons--to understand this sort of character mythology.
I love that they have Richard Hatch in this, even though I never watched the original BSG on TV. I also love that he's Richard Hatch and not Richard Hatch, as I originally feared, when I read the name in some BSG context or another.
eta...

This is the same one that Adama sent as an emissary to New Caprica, this season, right?
All he would have to do is wait a couple centuries til the TARDIS was spending a lot of time unattended at UNIT headquarters and take it for a quick trip to the 51st century before sending it back to its proper time on autopilot. Not convenient, but certainly not beyond the Doctor's capabilities.
Plus, he's almost 1000, he's been to earth, doesn't seem to forget anything he's done after a regeneration finally stablizes, so he might have an even better option to do this sooner.
Plus? there's always looking up Reg at St. Cedd's. (See the aborted Shada ep and Dirk Gently...)
Sorry, the RayK name is going right over my head.
RayK is one of the two Rays from Due South, played by the same actor as Leoben.

Yes, the same one. Wow was BSG kickass or what??? Best ep so far this season. I loved when Galactica came burning down out of the sky to drop the vipers and then jumped. I can't believe the Cylons got Hera. That should be interesting. Also can't wait to see what happens with Baltar over in the Cylon camp. Poor Kara - she had accepted that baby as her own. Great way resolve the baby storyline, though. I can't wait for the rest of the season!
Heh. Also, RayK gets called CKR for his initials, Callum Keith Rennie. He's done a lot more work than just
Due South,
so turning up on BSG is just gravy.

Thanks, DX.

That was incredible. I am not hugely into cinematography. If a scene isn't too dark for me to make out the action, and I can't see any strings attached to Godzilla's hands, I'm happy. But still, that scene with the Galactica was amazing to me.

With Starbuck all broken and Sharon "knowing" Adama would never lie to her, and Hera with the Cylons, I think things are ripe for a schism.
I wish I could suck in the show, the way Willow sucked all the magic out of the books.

Thanks also, Theo.
I loved Galactica free falling in atmo and then jumping -- very very cool.
I think that D'Anna/Three is so into Hera because of her dream and then her visit to the prophet.
Did you guys listen to the interview with Grace Park at scifi? I think that she calls Sharon Agathon, "Sharon" and the other one "Boomer."
I didn't listen, sumi. I've read some of Moore's blog and watched the webisodes, and maybe two interviews (one where they put on Apollo's fat). Which Sharon is the one had the baby?
Mrs. Agathon.
BTW, the On Demand preview for the next episode is up.
