"Imprisoned and facing charges of treason, Former Colonial President Gaius Baltar survives a suicide attempt -- only to face extreme interrogation techniques by his captors aboard the Galactica."

I must say the first couple minutes of this were WTF? I thought he might actually be a cylon.


The website must be down from all the traffic.

Ok who is is six saying the president threw out the airlock

[silverwings]

And Gaeta rises once again to the top of the "who is the cylon now" guessing game....

Wonderful episode that had me on my toes. Couple of wtf and "did he just do that" moments.

When BSG is good, it's good. :D

Roslin ordered the cylon Leoben thrown out an airlock in "Flesh and Bone" from season 1.

Roslin ordered the cylon Leoben thrown out an airlock in "Flesh and Bone" from season 1.

Actually, I believe she says "old man" referring to the priest. Who was also airlocked after being told if he talked they'd let him live. Oops. :p

No, she said "Leoben", pronouncing it "Lee-O-ben" (stress on the 'O'), which is why it might have sounded like "old man".

I stand corrected. :sweat:

Still an awesome scene regardless (seeing as CapricaSix totally stood up and 'beat' Roslyn. :anime: )

Yeah, I agree. I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole thing. In this past episode, I was wondering where Caprica was, so it'll be great to see how things play out with her.

What I'm really stoked for, though, is the trial. There's potential for some great stuff, and I hope we get it.

Also, I was listening to a bit of the podcast and was completely embarrassed to realize I'd completely missed the "Cheers" references with the episode title and the bar. Very cool.

Finally watched this episode. There were actually 2 episodes going on here: One with the cool interrogation of Baltar, and the other being more of the same old "Who will love who?" subplot, which I'm finally getting tired of. Would the four of you kindly all move in together and have sex until you finally get it out of your system?!?

In the meantime, cool Baltar moments!! He finally fessed up that he did know Caprica Six before the nuclear holocaust on Caprica. I for an instant thought he was going to reveal that he has a Cylon in his head. Roselin's remarks that she wanted Baltar to admit his guilt was interesting, as was Adama's response: In Baltar's mind-HE'S the victim...

Now, bring on the Trial of Baltar!

Question: Why is it so hard to make out what these characters are saying on this show? I couldn't make out the "Leobon" line either. Is that a scene that's going to be a part of next episode?

[JohnCrichton]

I've been confident that Baltar was not a cyclon from the get go. From a story perspective, he's far too interesting a character as a human. If he were a cyclon or anything else it would totally take away from the very thing that makes him most interesting and that's a very faulted human being.

The Trial of Baltar will be very interesting. I didn't think he'd ever return to the Galactica, actually. I thought he'd go to being a fulltime cyclon agent like he was in the original series.

I hear world that Starbuck wants to leave the show... a friend put up the theory that maybe SHE is the dying leader that will lead them to Earth.
