Sumi, that makes more sense, merely based on a comment from another cop show I watched this week.

Niice, I like the idea that Starbuck is the daughter of the lost Cylon! That would tie up another thread nicely.

Starbuck did paint that symbol so i don't think we should throw out that option. That's artistic right.

Did anyone feel that this episode was too much exposition? I understand they were dealing with a budget, but couldn't we have seen some of the stuff that was described and not told?

It was very expositiony (BSG, right?) - but I still enjoyed it.

So sad to see poor falling apart Galactica.

don't recall her even mentioning gang rape--just that it was a federal prison, and that they were worse than the alternative, state prison.

She said "you know what they will do you the first night. And the second". And since he did not cooperate it is pretty clear he is being sent off to the Federal prison. What the else is she implying? The other prisoners are going to call him names? And yet, I'm sure he is an evil awful villain. But there are supposed to be limits to what is done even to evil awful villains.

Did 7 even make it out of the box? This ep didn't grab me enough, so I missed parts of the infodump.

I'm evidently confusing my sending-to-jail shows, TB.

BSG: 7 made it out of the box because they knew that he spent all his time painting and that Cavil got jealous because he was Ellen's favorite so he messed up the goo for the resurrection baths for the 7s so that when he died - he was dead.

Fringe: I'm pretty sure that Olivia told the prisoner that she had his transfer to state pen in her hands and she was threatening him with processing that paperwork and transferring him if he didn't cooperate.

And that threat included "Do you know what they will do to you the first night? And the second?" And his face crumpled a little. So yes she was threatening to transfer him from the State to the the Federal Prison. And the teeth behind that sure sounded to me like a threat was that he'd be raped while there. (And he did not cooperate, though she got something useful from him. No indication that she was bluffing. So, absent evidence to the contrary, I'd assume the transfer was processed. (Since this is the first ep I've seen, I'd accept the word of others who have watched previous eps that she would bluff about stuff like that, and not follow through on the threat.))
