(see note on episode numbering - one more episode to go, then we get the long break before the final 10 eps)
Spoiler policy: If it’s been aired, or if it’s pure speculation about future events, no need for a spoiler box. If it’s from a future episode, as revealed in promotional materials or interviews, or if it’s speculation based on same, put it in a spoiler box, and label the box as to the general nature of its contents so we can better decide whether or not to take the risk of looking at it.
Example:
Before the MTV Movie Awards, Edward James Olmos gave a brief interview in which he saidhe wishes Marky Mark would bring back the sexy underpants.
New episode tonight. Last week, UK viewers got to see it before US fans, because we skipped a week due to Memorial Day. It appears, based on the lack of a thread in the last couple of days, that the UK schedule has now skipped back, and we’ve returned to the US-first-UK-a-few-days-later routine. If I’m wrong, I welcome correction. If I’m right, it sucks to be them; a one-week tease is pretty lame.
Anyway, here’s the preview for this week’s installment. Massive spoiler right from the first frame. Sensitive viewers beware. (Also, SciFi may push an ad for Shyamalan’s Happening before the preview begins, so be prepared to wait a bit.) For the record, the big shocker climax in the preview looks to me to be a rather significant piece of misleading editing; there’s a much more likely candidate for the recipient of that statement. If you want to discuss it, please spoiler-box your posts (labeled “comments on preview” or some such) until the episode actually airs.
Some recap:
Adama’s sitting in his Raptor, reading and waiting.
Roslin and the Renegade Basestar didn’t feature at all last week, so we should expect some revelations on that point tonight. The title of this ep, “The Hub,” is, I think it’s safe to say, a clue.
Tigh’s now in charge of the military. Caprica Six is carrying his poptart. And Athena, presumably, is in for a long stay in the brig.
Speaking of who’s in charge, Lee’s now the President. Given how crappy Tigh’s previous tenure was, I think we should assume Lee’s going to demand a somewhat longer leash as civilian leader. He’ll probably get it, too.
Baltar’s still floating around, though he’s been sidelined for a couple of weeks. And what Tyrol is doing, joining the nymph squad, is still a mystery.
SciFi tonight. Be there!
