Battlestar Galactica -- "The Tie That Binds" -- 4/18/2008
Spoiler:
Just got done watching the episode at: http://www.scifi.com (replayed at the top of the hour, every hour until 4pm ET).
Oh my frakkin' gods! I'll be watching it again before the work day is out.Spoiler:
But the rest of the Demetrius crew looks awesome. I'm surprised that so many people that I would consider war-time essential (Athena, Helo, Gaeta) are off on a wild goose chase. Also, how exactly do they board those Vipers?Last edited by pinata242; 04-18-08 at 02:53 PM.

I saw it coming from the previews but didn't expect it to be so cold and vicious.

Just what I was thinking.
Excellent, excellent episode.

That was pretty frakked up.
Cylons don't play. You got Cylon-on-Cylon exterminations, and the BG-Cylons are survivors, with little regard to human life, but they do care for the hybrids.

Cally looked like she could be Starbuck's little sister with that haircut she had. Very different than her old haircut with the massive bangs.
Good episode, I am very interested in seeing where all this is going.
Can someone jog my memory though. I thought the resurrection ship was destroyed in season 2 with the stealth ship. What am I forgetting, was there another one or ? It's been a while since I've seen that episode so my memory is probably just foggy.

Why did Cally look so much different than she did previous seasons? It can't just be the hair.
With Gaeta and Helo in Starbuck's crew, and Apollo retired, who the hell is gonna take care of business on the Galatica?

A+ for the cylon betrayal segment of the episode
A for Callie's storyline
B for Starbuck's. I think I actually would have preferred to get caught up on Baltar's current happenings. But I guess that's being saved for Jane Espenson's episode next week.

I knew that Callie was a goner about 10 minutes into the episode.

Well, that should have happened to Callie in the first season.
Also, during Starbuck's "I just want to frak! I just want to frak!" nonsense I cracked up. Really bad dialogue.
I don't know what it is, but every episode has been pretty "eh" to me this season. Even when the Cylon fleet turned on itself, I should have been like "holy shit!" but it's been so obvious for two or three episodes that that would be the ultimate outcome that there was no shock whatsoever.

As far as the resurrection ship, they've shown that there's more than one. As far away from their home world as the cylons are, they must keep one near the fleet that's pursuing Galactica.

I liked the Cally storyline although I'm surprised at how quickly Tigh and Tirol reverted to their New Caprica ways of treating everyone else as expendable. The Demetrius storyline is annoying because of Starbucks irrationality, but it's probably going to be a major part of the show from here on out.
My problem is with Lee's storyline. What a giant douche.

I was wondering if any of the four were going to succumb to the worst aspects of their newly-discovered Cylon heritage. I'm not very surprised that it turned out to be Tori.
