Because this episode would have aired right in the middle of last season, it was your typical BSG filler episode.  But, unlike a stale old Twinkie, this episode had some good filler, enough to keep my systems intact and lubricated within this steel frame I sit in.

Apparently, after the death of Dualla in the season opener, a new life form is going to take her place.  Though, it still resides in the belly of Caprica Six, the father, fraking SAUL.  Yes, you heard it right, the Cylons are reproducing, which is something we learn they’ve been trying to do but have only met failure.  It seems like the final five are the key to Cylon fertility, let the orgies begin!  Though, on a creepier note of the sexual topic, Adama and Roslin, old, wrinkled bodies lying obviously naked next to each other, I could have done without that image.

Roslin, has seemed to secede the castle as leader of the Fleet, instead she spends her time throwing her pills in the trashcan, which must be a very valuable resource in the fleet, and spends the rest of her time running through the Galactica in an attempt at workouts.  I have to agree with what my wifebot said. “I’m so done with her now, she’s useless.”

Gaeta, the Mr. Nice guy of the previous seasons, is showing his true form in the wake of this catastrophe, with Mutiny.  You can see how everything is beginning to fall apart of the remnants of humanity, with all of their dreams crushed, they are looking for a new leadership because of the olds failures.  It looks like Tom Zarek, after being imprisoned by Adama is forming an alliance with Gaeta to overthrow the government and crush the Cylons once and for all.  Zarek has been fighting for control ever since he was loosened from prison in the first season, now, it seems like he might once and for all capture the fleet for his own ends.

Baltar, man, where do I start with Gaius Baltar, quite possibly, my favorite character?  His followers are seemingly going to become more attached to the man that has been deemed a Prophet.  What is Baltar preaching? That god is to blame for all of this mess, pitting them now against everything, even the big man. The speech was briefly interrupted, as the Chief, who had taken his son into the hospital for some illness, finds out that he’s not the biological father, but, Hot Dog is.  After seeing Hot Dog at Baltars rally against God, Chief does the one best thing, and beats the crap out of his meat-bag body.  The best part of this whole scene, was Baltar sitting in his seat as the fight was starting, turning away from everyone, and taking a drag on his cigarette, epic.

What is instilled for us next week? Mutiny.

I’m having geekgasms thinking about it.
