> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > The preview clips on the NBC reruns didn’t show anything significant, btw - unless you count: [spoiler]Adama didn’t necessarily die, even though Six tells Baltar he _will_. Dunno if Olmos has a new contract or not. > > The blurb in today’s Daily Local Fishwrap says Roslin gets even more mystical and visionary this season, so apparently she \*doesn’t \* die, at least not right away. It also says Six \*might \* be knocked up by Baltar. Or maybe not.[/spoiler] Well, there’s this blurb which looks to be around episode 5 or 6 HOME, PART 1 Lee joins President Roslin and Tom Zarek in a separatist fleet determined to explore Kobol, forcing Commander Adama to find a new flight leader for the Galactica. :eek: How many jaw drops can you get in one sentence? ---

I was wondering… Sexbot Six warned Baltar to get off Galactica. Now, naturally we’re to assume at the time that its because something bad is going to happen to the ship. Of course, what really happens is that Boomer shoots Adama twice… Since Baltar had cleared her, does that mean the shooting was what Baltar didn’t want to be around for? For that matter, does anyone besides Baltar and Boomer (and Six, I guess) know that he even tested her? I still don’t understand the reasoning behind Baltar’s “It’s easier if everyone passes” philosophy… -Joe ---

> [@Merijeek](#): > > I still don’t understand the reasoning behind Baltar’s “It’s easier if everyone passes” philosophy… In reverse order: I suspect it has to do with his muttering about how long it would take to test everyone in the fleet and how sexbot six (I like that) would do something very nasty if he began exposing Cylons. Maybe SBS didn’t know Boomer would nuke the Cylon ship. ---

So, “easier if everyone passes.” It gives Baltar a sense of control over both humans and Cylons, and control is something he used to have as a world famous genius, but something he’s lacked since getting stuck on Galactica and having Six stuck in his head. ---

Woo hoo! Sci-Friday is starting _now_! And predictably, my satellite connection is going out intermittently. ☹ ---

If you don’t hear from me, it’s because Mrs. Plant couldn’t see _Monk_ on the little dish and vaporized me to get USA on the big one.
