Sorry, I don’t follow. How is it unfair?
Just finished the podcast. Lots to consider and discuss, but it’s late and I need to sleep. One thing:
On second viewing, I think this initial impression was wrong. There’s definitely an injury of some sort. Not sure what it implies but it’s not just smeared lipstick.
That’s the thing: Chief doesn’t know Gaeta is bringing the information. The dog droppings (hah!) are a secret and Chief doesn’t know who’s making them. When Gaeta found out about Callie, he publicly met with Chief as a friend but not as the informer. This probably could have been made a little clearer, but given Chief’s attitude, I think it’s obvious he doesn’t know about Gaeta’s dual life.
If we don’t see Six or Baltar with imaginary friends, I figure they aren’t seeing them any more. Baltar seemed surprised to see Six after she was shot; I assume from that he hadn’t been seeing her since they Cylons came to New Caprica.
And if he gets busted by the Toasters, Gaeta doesnt want him to. 
Ha, duality72 is making a comment about…duality!
I think what levdrakon was saying is that the Chief should be smart enough to figure out–or at least suspect–that Gaeta is the informant.
BTW, Gaeta sure has made himself into a fashion plate! Fancy hairdo, sideburns and GQ duds. Working for The Man turns him into a stud.
Well, yeah, but it’s TV.
Well, it’s Ron Moore TV, so maybe the Chief has a general dislike for officers or something.
Yes, *they *(i’m assuming by ‘they’ you mean Tighe, Tyrol & co) know that the liason will be Boomer, but my point was that Ellen came into the tent halfway through the meeting. They had already discussed who the liason was going to be and were moving on to the actual meeting place when Ellen entered. That Boomer was going to be the liason wasn’t mentioned again (that we saw anyway).
Therefore, any information that gets passed to the Cylons regarding the rendezvous will not include Boomer because Ellen doesn’t know that she (Boomer) will be there.
Personally, i don’t think the resistance yet know about Ellen passing information. They will obviously know that there is a mole after the ambush at the rendezvous, but suspicion is going to be directed at Galactica Boomer, because, well, she’s a frakkin’ toaster, ain’t she?
The information could have been on the papers Ellen stole. It’s still unclear what she took because she burned some and kept some others. Certainly she kept the map, but what other information about the rendez vous did she hold onto to? And did she even hold onto enough to say there was a rendez vous–the cylons could be under the impression it’s just a high level resistance meeting.
I think she stole most of the plans and the cylons know all about the meeting, inlcuding the passwords. So it’s a decoy Boomer. However, I agree that the resistance doesn’t know about Ellen yet. Cavil didn’t ask for anything but sex until shortly before the meeting.
I missed a piece of this episode; what was it they forced Baltar to sign?
An execution order for those (200 or so?) suspected of being in or involved with the resistance.
It was, iirc, a get-around to excuse them (the Cylons) the moral responsibility for the deaths
A death warrant for the humans taken in the truck at the end of the episode.
Thanks!
The death order of 200 people.
Who was the black guy in the Cylon meeting with Baltar? I saw him and thought, “aha, a new Cylon model!”, but no on else mentioned it so I presume he’s come up before. I’m not the most attentive viewer.
The doctor model (can’t remember his name) that was mainly seen in the epsiode in series 2, in which Starbuck was being held at the baby farm back on Caprica (original post-nuked Caprica that is, not the new settlement)
Ahh…
I just realized something else about the 5 Cylon agents that haven’t been revealed. Not only aren’t they out in the open on New Caprica, but they weren’t on old Caprica either. If they were Anders & co would have seen them. Doesn’t Sharon A. know who they are?
Toward the end of season two, Adama and Sharon are talking about trust. Sharon wants to know how many times she has to save the fleet before Adama will trust her. Adama responds by asking point blank: Will you identify the remaining unknown Cylons among us? And she answers: No. Which thereby, I would have thought, provides a ground rule by which she can earn his trust.
That this has not been revisited since then, or discussed in the context of his apparent re-embrace of her as an officer, is probably the most significant undigested lump of perplexity in how and why he apparently changed his mind on the subject.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. It makes sense that the hidden models wouldn’t walk openly among humans. But they are missing even in areas where the Cylons must believe are Cylon-only areas.
