Sitar! That's IT. I was trying to peg down the exotic-sounding string instrument he used in Tigh-Shoots-Adama scene but my mind was drawing a blank.
Thanks for the link to Bear's blog, sumi. Very interesting.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sitar - he's using more sitar.
That's the thing!
Although my favourite is still the Passacaglia used in the teaser of "Kobol's Last Gleaming, part I" (and the variation on that during the opera house scene in part 2.)
Yeah, "Passacaglia"/"The Shape of Things to Come" is like my Bear McCreary OTP.
Was is specifically recorded for the episode, or did he use a pre-existing version?
It's a new version recorded by his brother under the name Bt4. I've had no luck finding a download of it, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the disconcerting (and vaguely Middle-Eastern-sounding, which is an interesting choice) dark string theme played when Tigh was hallucinating his assassination of Adama
The sitar music is pretty much the Final Four theme music - it was playing in the lead-in to AATW at the end of last season too.

Baltar's fandom adventures are likely to entertain me no matter what. But I don't think there's anything out of character in him being more than a bit tired of watching other people dying for/because of him. That's been going on for a while.
Which reminds me, I still think Helo should mention his own role in Baltar's fortunes at some point. (Er, unless that happened in one of the S3 episodes I missed?)

I suppose, in the right context - but people know that he gave up his seat to Baltar. I recall Boomer commenting on it so clearly the people closest to Boomer would be aware.

It must be in the S3 soundtrack then? I never bothered getting that one, given my, um, very mixed reaction to S3 in general. But that might push me toward forking out the $$$.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
ooh, thanks for reminding me that for the past two weeks I've been meaning to pick up the third season soundtrack (since there doesn't seem to be an mp3 download available at either iTunes or Amazon. Am I out of the loop on another legal/main source? (Probably yes)

There are samples on the Amazon page for the OST.

Oh, yeah, it's not that I think it should be a shocking revelation. But I think Baltar and Helo should have a scene together sometime. "Hey buddy! Haven't seen you since that time on Caprica. Y'know, if I had to do that over... although I got a Cylon wife out of the deal, and you got a cult, so I guess it all worked out for the best -- high five!"
