Actually, I got Anders logic. I mean if you believe in that destiny thing at all (and her apartment decor/Eye of Jupiter has to have her nearest and dearest all wondering) - then what would the purpose have been in being married and waiting 4 months just to break up when you're finally together. Unless, of course, Anders' purpose in all this was just to break Kara out of prison and get her back to the Galactica.

So, if you go to the Galactica site to look at the full bonus scene also click on the video player so you can see the bonus scene from the next new episode.

I just read your other post and saw the scene from next week, sumi. Eeenteresting. Could you figure out what the whole (spoilers for the video clip from next week's BSG): "No touching!" thing was? Was it some sort of religious thing? I was confused. Also? I adore Helo. I mean, he didn't even do anything really, I just adore him, is all .

So, his "If you love him, go to him," thing had something to do with her destiny, is what he was thinking? I may not have been paying close enough attention.

I thought it had something to do with her destiny.

In the preview, I couldn't figure out what that "no touching" thing was either -- also the stance the people had -- that did make it seem religious. I kept thinking that something bad was going to happen and I think that came from Helo's attitude of slight wigged-outness. I am so happy we're going to see Helo in two weeks.

Loved Roslin relaxing on Adama's bed.

Hmmm. . .

Yes, the Adama and Roslin bit at the end was lovely.

Oh, and Adama punching out Gaeta to save Baltar.

And Adama has a new haircut.

BTW, this is the episode that EJO directed, isn't it?

Oy.

So what happened in this BSG?

Not the events, but what moved forward?

The romantic melodrama is still in place, Baltar's still in custody not knowing whether or not he's a Cylon, and Adama doesn't know how much the Cylons know.

Oh, wait. Gaeta has a secret. It had better be a foreshadowed secret, or I'll be as irritated as D'anna's secret revelation made me.

Hmmph. The bits were well done, but they didn't go anywhere or show me more anything.

I think it was a Baltar episode, and the B plot reflected his guilt and identity conflict.

Does Gaeta actually have a secret, or is it just that he wants to kill Baltar?

The episode had me on the edge of my seat, but when I think about it too much, I'm mostly disappointed.

I don't buy what Lee said to Dee about marrying her because he's in love with her. That seems to fly in the face of what they were showing us in flashbacks, just a couple of episodes ago. And I could understand if it is just that Lee was lying, but he seemed to believe it himself, when he told Dee. Confusing.

Lee's feelings and actions are the weak link, for me, in this double triangle. I buy Starbuck's feelings and actions. I buy Anders' feelings and actions. I buy Dee's feeling and actions. I don't get Lee. Two episodes ago, he was telling Kara they ought to divorce their spouses, so they could be together. She comes to him last night and asks if he'll do it, and he reminds her of her night with him on New Caprica, and that she married Anders the next morning. Okay, that's valid, except he knew that two episodes ago, too. Gah.

The romantic melodrama is still in place, Baltar's still in custody not knowing whether or not he's a Cylon [...]

When I watched, I felt like this episode was supposed to cap the romantic melodrama, and that we were supposed to accept Baltar's humanity, but when I think about it, you're right. Nothing changed.

The title, Taking a Break from all Your Worries, earwormed me with the Cheers theme song, pretty badly. I had the earworm for the whole time, and didn't even realize I'd seen the title on my TiVo, before I watched the episode. When I saw the title afterwards, it cracked me up, because there was a bar, and...okay, maybe I'm just tired and stir-crazy.

So what happened in this BSG?

NOTHING. Feh.

I hope either Dee or Gaeta is the SooperSeekritCylon. They've been through so much shit over the past year, they deserve some superpowers.

I am SO over Lee/Dee. I liked Dualla when she was a minor character in HER OWN STORYLINE. I do not like her as a minor character in SOMEONE ELSE'S STORYLINE. And Lee...Lee is just kind of pathetic. Which makes me sad.

I really did not like the convenience of "Oh yeah, that military experiment that of course was run on Galactica like everything else that ever happened to the military in the entire history of the Colonies? Sure we're got some drugs left over!" Normally when they do something that blatant, they manage to hide it better by not talking about it so much.

And the way the drugs were described...putting the victim in such a heightened state of anxiety that he'll confess everything because he thinks his life is at stake? How exactly would that differ from Baltar's baseline? I mean, if they wanted this to be the funny torture episode, I would have laughed if the drugs had no effect.

Sending Baltar to Lee's Lake of Perpetual Near-Deathiness was just lame.

I liked the final scene between Baltar and Gaeta, and some of the Kara/Anders stuff, but overall, this ep just didn't do it for me.
