3.3 Exodus (1) Sharon: "Adama wouldn't lie to me." During this entire episode, I kept thinking someone in the cast would die. I was actually pretty surprised that we got to the end with everyone still alive. Saul and Ellen Tigh may be New Caprica's most dysfunctional couple. I thought it was hilarious when Tigh told Tyrol he had to live, because "the last thing your son wants is me and Ellen for parents." (It was also rather sweet, since Tigh was telling Tyrol they'd take care of his son if Tyrol didn't come back.) But the Tighs may not be a couple for much longer. Did Ellen truly think Tigh would forgive her for betraying the human race? I bet that Tigh might even execute her himself. And he should. She's too stupid to live, anyway. Is D'Anna a psychic? It would certainly give her a specific Cylon niche role. D'Anna said that Hera was the first Cylon/human hybrid. But what about Starbuck's toddler? Is the father not Leoben, after all? Or is Casey younger than Hera? What's going on? There were a couple of things I really loved about this episode. I loved the ceremony on the hangar deck with members of the Pegasus and Galactica crews on opposite sides of the line of salt ending with hugs and reunion, symbolizing that they would be together again someday. I loved Helo telling Dee to take care of Commander Lee, and Dee telling Helo to take care of Admiral Adama. But I've decided that I really don't like this whole planet resistance plot all that much. No more death camps. I'm ready for them all to go back to the Galactica now and start running again. Bits and pieces: -- Brother Cavill said that he had downloaded three times now, and each time it got worse. That was really interesting. -- Looks like Sharon Agathon is going to know about her baby sooner than I thought. -- Gaius is no longer totally self-involved. He couldn't even perform in bed with his brand new Caprica Six. He kept telling the Cylons to shoot him, and he meant it. If the humans are indeed rescued, what will happen to Gaius? They'll execute him, won't they? -- For that matter, what will happen to Jammer and the other human security forces? -- I thought Cally was going to be toast. But that was predictable. They don't do predictable on this show. -- Laura saved Tom Zarek's life. See? Unpredictable. -- In her prophetic dream, D'Anna saw bodies everywhere, and an abandoned baby. I hope that doesn't mean there will be a ton of casualties. -- The human oracle Dodona Selloi (also a traitor, like Ellen?) was licking Kamala off her hand. Wasn't that the psychotropic drug Roslin was taking for her cancer? -- In this week's hair report, Chief got a much needed shave and a haircut. Was that because he knew he was going to see Sharon Two? Quotes: Zarek: "Been awhile since I had a woman throw me to the ground. Not quite as much fun as I remember." Dee: "Take care of the Admiral?" Helo: "Take care of his son." Two and a half stars, Billie |
