Wake up in the Owl Creek scene in a tub of goo, or die after the Owl Creek and then wake up in a tub of goo? Which would be a reset button within a reset button, I think.
Maybe.
My head hurts. I’m going to go lie down.
Or not wake up in goo at all. Close with him dangling, and quite dead.
You think they’d hang him rather than space him?
Tighe may insist, so that he can kick the corpse around for a week or to, like Achilles. 
Well, Ron Moore has been making noises about there being a major reset at the end of this season…something that will shake the show as we know it to its roots.
Personally, I think he has the balls to do it, too. Killing off Baltar would be one way.
I still say Starbuck is gonna find Earth, and discover Moses running away from the filthy apes…
If their looking for an angle to prosecute Baltar, that would be a good one. Would explain why they haven’t X’ed Callie and Chief.
Hotdog is Ed Almos’ real life son, so that would be interesting.
We’ve been seeing a lot of this Seelix person lately. I wonder if something’s up with that?
In case y’all didn’t notice, Seelix is the one there when Tyrol & Callie got stuck in the airlock area. Hey, maybe she was trying to off Callie. I know Callie’s constant run-on whining would make me want to hit the “purge atmosphere” button.
But…
When they blew the hatch, there was no air left. So what forced two people and all the junk to fly out of the airlock? The general suckitude of deep space?
Sure there was. Lower pressure, difficult to breathe, but pressure. Apollo astronauts breathed pure oxygen at low pressure, FWIW.
The part that cracked me up? Apparently, Baby Nicky uses the same bottles that my six month old son uses. I didn’t know they had those in space!
(Come on…they couldn’t have made it a little less obvious?)
I’m underwhelmed by this episode. I hate Cally. I seriously just hate her. This episode has done nothing to change this, so an entire episode with somewhat of a focus on Cally just makes me go “Die already! Come on, DIE! DIE!”
E.
Have we seen her before today? I thought for sure she was going to be the Redshirt that got pureed…

It does no good to set up a “they might die” episode when we, the audience, knows they won’t actually kill them… and stop it with the drums already.
For the episode to work, Callie should have died, Adama would not have said “see you next year”… for things to move forward, things actually have to move forward…
So, Adama can interact with folks in his mind too… no wonder he doesn’t mind being single.
Seelix was one of the deck crew way back in Season 1, IIRC. She might be the only one still surviving – the guy who’d been thrown into the brig during that stupid drumhead episode ended up dying on Kobol, and I think the other guy may have bit the bullet too…
BSG does a pretty good job of recurring bit players: the deck crew, the pilots, and the CNC crew are mostly quasi-regulars. We saw one of the Pegasus pilots show up again this episode – he’s the guy from “First Wave,” here as one of the other squad leaders.
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen Capt. Kelly since “Exodus”… 
Well, yes. Since all the stuff from the airlock got blown out. But it doesn’t hold together. Nothing in that sequence works. I JUST Rewatched it.
- Thigh comments that they only have air (not oxygen) for a few mmore minutes. This is about four minutes before they blow the hatch. He also said they they were already at risk of decompression sickness and hypothermia: “They could freeze to death”
- when Boomer and gang are hanging outside the hatch, and every second counts, Adama takes the time to say “On my mark” and starts counting down… slowly enough for some quick shots from various angles of Galactica, complete with dramatic drums. From “On my mark” to “three” there is twelve seconds, “two” is yet another ten seconds later, “one” after another eight seconds, and then there’s only two seconds before he says “Do it”, at which point someone opens the lid, protecting the button, and pushes it. Why wait opening the lid, why take 30 seconds to count down, if not for the sake of creating fake drama.
Apollo says to Athena to watch out for debris, since there might be “residual oxygen”. Might be. Residual. Oxygen.
Didn’t Thich say they had air (but presumebly oxygen in the tanks)? If they are facing imminent decompression sicknass and there is just a slight risk that any air/oxygen will be left, i.e. all indications point to the airlock being decompressed and in equilibrium, then the only reason was to have a coll sfx when they blew the hatch.
It seems like no one really mentioned this yet, but did you guys interpret the scene between Roslyn and Adama to indicate that they did, in fact, get it on that night on New Caprica with the wacky weed and the discussion of cabin-building? And Roslyn was saying that, if New Caprica hadn’t gotten destroyed, she would have wanted to start a life with Adama there? I think that was the biggest revelation of this ep-- finally an acknowledgement that something real is/was going on between them. I hope their duties don’t keep them apart forever.
Potential plot hole: Why did the late Ms. Adama refer to her husband as “the Admiral”? He did not get promoted to Admiral until after *Pegasus * showed up, and the ex-wife was long dead by then…
She’s in his head, like Six so she’d call him Admiral I think.
I thought it happened during a flashback to one of their arguments. In that scene, unless he’s subconciously updating the dialogue to reflect current rank, she should have referred to him by the rank he held at the time. As a sidenote, I’ve had about of enough of the “everybody gets an invisible friend” thing RDM has going on here. What’s next, Starbuck has a Ron Jeremy clone running around in her head?
Ah, that would be a bit of goof then.
Seconded. It was interesting when it might have meant a Cylon implant, but now it’s pretty clearly a story telling device which has gotten over-used.
I always thought Starbuck should have a Leoben in her head though. And way back when, I thought it would have been cool if Ellen Tigh had a Cylon in her head, to explain her mysterious rescue and recovery in the fleet and her later machinations of Tigh.
Yup. I’d say boots were knocked that night. Looked to me like Rosilyn wanted another heaping helping of Adama loving in this episode. Man’s a fool for not putting out.
Charlie Tan, thanks for the link. Thought I remembered a story like that…
