New episode tonight. Title is “The Hand of God.” Given the apparent importance of whatever it is the Cylons call their faith, I suspect this will be significant.
Important note: Stargate SG-1 is 90 minutes tonight, so Galactica starts half an hour later than usual. If you’re setting a VCR, take this into consideration.
Questions:
The preview shows command staff mulling a raid on a Cylon supply facility of some type. What are they so short of that such an apparently foolhardy action is being contemplated? Food? Fuel? Cigarettes? Pocky?
After last week’s apparent completion of the Cylon detector, is President Roslin still looking at Adama with a suspicious eye? And what was the deal with that strange premonitory dream? Cylon interference, or side effects of the cancer and/or herbal therapy?
Will Mrs. Tigh continue to be a prominent presence? Is she still nailing her husband’s uniformed compatriots?
Will anything actually happen on Caprica this week, or will this continue to resemble the midweek installments of the Phantom comic strip where they stretch out a single plot point over several days until they can cut loose as usual on Sunday?
When is Adama gonna get tired of Baltar’s antics and punch him in the neck?
In last week’s ep, it was mentioned that Tyrol etc. are close to figuring out the Cylon Raider’s faster-than-light capabilities. Any developments on that front? And is bot-strokin’ Boomer any assistance?
What’s going on back on the prison ship?
Any more Cylon agents turn up? If so, does anyone waste a centon before blowing them out the nearest garbage portal?
Will Starbuck reveal herself to be the best in the fleet at whipping up a nice creamy hollandaise sauce?
Any explanation for the bizarre behavior of the lone Raider in last week’s ep?
Does Roslin’s curly-haired aide keep dating Lt. Uhura or does he drop her after realizing she was pumping him for information?
Is Master-at-Arms Hadrian still on Adama’s shit list?
Coming into the home stretch now. How many episodes left after this one? Three or four?
Oh, and since it was requested…
Spoiler policy:
Instead of trying to create a complicated set of rules about what constitutes a spoiler and what doesn’t, the expectation will be simple, to wit: Put anything you want in a spoiler box. Just tell us what it is so we know whether or not it’s safe to highlight. Examples—
Re the climax of this week’s episode:Man, that’s a lot of Pocky!
This is something I read on the Internet about the Cylons’ long-range plan:Man, that’s a lot of Pocky!
At the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, why does Dave Bowman say"It’s full of Pocky."
