I'm not particularly down on the ep, because I think I'm being riled by what they want me to be riled by... by that which they want me to be riled? Anyway, they seem to be setting us up for a righteous showdown, and I look forward to it, but, oy, getting there is rough.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

That's why I keep my dramas at the beginning and the end of the week... the adrenaline never fades. Well it does then the promos come on.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dear Tyrol,
Abandoning your dying toddler in the hospital? Yeah, I hope you die now. Which is a shame because you used to be one of my favorite characters.
I know this was mainly a bottle ep, but I really loved it. Lots of good meaty character stuff.
Maybe someone can clarify for me, though - Cottle said that Cally knew Hot Dog was the dad? In which case...why did she try to kill herself & Aaron? If she knew he wasn't half-Cylon, I mean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cally might have known he was the dad, but maybe RDM didn't. I wonder if there's a good reason for them to make sure he's not half skinjob.
Tyrol was coming back to the kid, though.

Art Crawl!!!
If you hated the Cylons would you leave your baby to be raised by one?
And I don't get the Chief's reaction either: Nickie is still his son in the ways that matter.
After the 10th webisode I knew that Gaeta was in for it and I was happy for the actor. . . . but clearly he will be either dead due to the Revolution or executed in lieu of Zarek.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
could it be explained that Cally didn't know what she was doing and was half out of her mind and convinced herself that her child was Tyrol's?

Bad Wolf
well he was in all the way that counts
JenP - Jan 23, 2009 6:37:47 pm PST #6412 of 30001
I don't think he's abandoning Nicky forever. I think he's getting Hot Dog in on the raising... and going to get his drunk on. I'm not saying it's the height of his days as a parent; I just don't think we're supposed to think that he's permanently abandoning him.
I'm not saying I approve, not defending - not at all. Just... he's not leaving for good, is all. I fully understand how rage inducing his behavior is.

I hope this season gets better. Whole lotta suckage in the last two episodes.
