So...was that lawyer Baltar's dad? I didn't hear all of what he said.

About time they're getting underway for the Baltar trial. Surprised we didn't see Zarek at all, though. I figured we would.

One of my favorite parts, however, was seeing Athena chatting with the other pilots during the first part of the show. I like scenes like that.

I am a bit confused though: I thought people were eating out of Baltar's hands thanks to the "Baltar Bible" thing, and now they hate him? Or is it just the common people who are for Baltar and the military who want him dead?

Saw Kelly being the bomber coming a mile away, though the tension between Callie & Athena was nice.

And finally we get some screen time for Six, and next week a focus! You figure she's been on Galactica since Season 3.5 began and only now are the writers doing anything with her.

The Lawyer isn't Baltar's dad. He was referring to the manipulation he pulled to get Apollo to step out of his dad's shadow and step up to help pull defending duties for Baltar.

And what's this about Cally being the bomber? I thought it was that one dude that Apollo caught.

While these episodes kiiiiiinda feel like filler time-wasters, I am going to miss character driven episodes like these when they go to the next season and every episode is a main event.

I am a bit confused though: I thought people were eating out of Baltar's hands thanks to the "Baltar Bible" thing, and now they hate him? Or is it just the common people who are for Baltar and the military who want him dead?Some will follow his every word, some will want him dead. Haven't you realised they're hitting you over the head with how he's Saddam?


Saw Kelly being the bomber coming a mile away, though the tension between Callie & Athena was nice.I always get the sense that Cally is RDM's wife. Annoying voice, self-involved, don't know when to shut up, and nowhere near as smart as she think she is. Come to think of it, Tyrol even looks a little like RDM.


And finally we get some screen time for Six, and next week a focus! You figure she's been on Galactica since Season 3.5 began and only now are the writers doing anything with her.Yes, it never really feels like Galactica without Six.

Cally was being set-up as a red herring, as seen in the "What if the Cylons are here?" scene and the deleted Athena/Cally scene.

Anyone find it weird at all that they're trusting Athena at all... including Athena?

Boomer proved that sometimes freewill is not in the hands of a Cylon. Out of programming alone Athena could fire up a raptor and unleash its entire payload in the hanger bay for all they know.

Was watching SG-1, and there was a BSG preview which, instead of focusing on Six & Tigh, instead revealed that they're finally starting Baltar's trial. Apparently Apollo is quitting the fleet, joining Baltar's lawyer, and is putting Roselin on the stand.

There was also an SG-1 general Season 10.5 promo, too. April 13th can't get here fast enough.
