geebsFriday night TV commentary:
In the cylon fleet:
Natalie (when did they actually name her that on the show? The forums and wiki refer to her as Natalie, did Cavil do that at one point during their conversations?) lets Cavil (who's apparently carrying on an affair with Boomer! But he's old!) resurrect in the interests of fairness. Cavil's all she opened up a can of worms giving the bulletheads sentience (particularly since she needed to say please to get a Centurion to do what she asked), but he's willing to table the issues of stopping the lobotomization of raiders, unboxing D'anna, which pass. But then Natalie foolishly lets her supporters and Cavil and his supporters be on separate ships. So when they send D'anna's consciousness to the nearest download center and start heading there, Cavil's ships jump in sans resurrection ship and ambush and open fire on Natalie's ships. And since the resurrection ship isn't there, any cylons killed are dead, dead. Making Boomer sad. I'm curious if he is successful in killing the anti-him faction off, or if they'll survive.
On the sewage ship:
So Starbuck's crew are Helo, Gaeta, Anders, Athena, Seelix and some guy I don't recognize. Or at least, he hasn't had much screen time until now. And while Seelix is looking pretty cute with the longer hair (of course, I've always been a fan of the bob), I do miss her boyish cut if only because I can no longer make the joke, "I want me some of that, whatever that is!" Heh, her callsign is apparently Hardball! You'd think a chick pilot would pick a callsign not so conducive to sexual innuendo. (Oh and I just realized, if Helo and Athena are in that ship, where the frak is Hera? Or did they just leave her with someone else? I don't think they would have brought her with them.)
Anyways, they're all kinda frustrated with Starbuck because she doesn't seem like she knows what she's doing and that she's nuts. Pilot whom I don't know (but must've been around a while since he refers to Anders as a "rook") even thinks the Galactica is just shadowing them and waiting for when Kara shows her true colors so they can ambush her.
In any case, Anders confronts her, and they of course frak. Interestingly enough, afterwards Kara talks about how detached she feels from herself, like she's just watching everything happening to her rather than actually experiencing it. Is she a ghost? She's definitely a frakkin' krant though, with some of the things she tells Anders, like she only married him because it was safe and easy and he was pathetic enough to go with it. How deliciously cruel!
On the human fleet:
Zarek talks to Apollo privately is all, Rosalin's a dictator, she's doing sneaky stuff, so Apollo starts calling her on it in the Quorom meetings. Rosalin's none too pleased.
Heh, Cally wakes up and is concerned Tyrol is not there. And what's with people not knowing to spell her name?! Its Cally, not Callie, or Calliegh! And I think she looks different as of late because her hairstyle's been done up a little more feminine and pretty as opposed to her usual plain jane look.
But I digress. So she figures out he's hanging out at the bar. Apparently she's drugged up and suffering from post partem depression because everything's foggy from her point of view and she seems a little nutty. But anyways, she goes to the bar, and sees him talking to Tory and thinks he's stepping out on her.
Alas, I was hoping for a cheaters style confrontation where she calls Tyrol a motherfrakker and starts up a scene in the bar, but alas, all she does is throw up. Boo! Though throughout that sequence it does seem like Tory is trying to stir up trouble. Heh, later when she sees Cottle, she tells him she wishes Tyrol would smack her around. Kinky! Though she only meant that because it would mean he feels something, and he's not a frakkin' robot. Little does she know...
But she eventually does. She finds a note Tigh leaves to meet at the Enterprise Weapons Locker (Ha!) and overhears that they're Cylons. I wonder if that's better than thinking her husband is having some weird threesomes with Tory AND Tigh. So, when she sees Tyrol again, she starts having a flashback to their lives together. The saddest part of the sequence is when Tyrol is talking to her all, "I know what you're thinking, but its not true" and she has this look on her face, kinda hoping against hope that she didn't hear what she thought and he isn't a cylon. But then he starts talking about how he's not having an affair and she's totally crushed. All the while Chief is talking about having more kids and living a better life together and how he'll work harder on their marriage, and all she can think of how he's a cylon and how that makes her a toaster-frakker.
So, she smacks him with a wrench and runs off with Nicholas. To possibly airlock him? Or airlock him and herself? Anyways, Tory catches up with her and talks her out of it, all, we don't know what we are, we're still the same people etc. Then when Cally lets her guard down long enough for Tory to get a hold of Nicholas, she backhands Cally, walks out the airlock and airlocks the poor girl!
Alas, I am sad, because she was kinda cute, in a plain and attainable sort of way. And airlocking actually freaks me out. After teleporting accidents, airlocking is one of the scarier ways to die in sci fi. I mean, I was a little skeptical when Cally and Tyrol were trapped in that one chamber and they vented it into space and caught them in the Raptor. Realistically, I don't think you can survive for more than a few seconds exposure to vaccuum. One, its cold as hell out there, since space is basically the absence of stuff, so there's nothing in it to hold on to heat. And the pressure differential is such is that I think the air in you trying to escape into vaccuum does so so forcefully that it severely damages your respiratory system. I mean, its not like drowning, and while its nowhere near is slow, I don't think its instantaneous either. But its not like you can get sucked out and be resusciated if found quickly enough (again, I call shenanegans on the catching Cally and Tyrol with the Raptor), I'm pretty sure once you're full exposed to vacuum, you're dead.
In any case, I'm curious if Tory tells the rest of them she airlocked Cally, or if she'll play it off like she managed to get a hold of Nicholas, but Cally killed herself.
