All shall be revealed in time. :) But yeah, Baltar's decision here is definitely frustrating. Good catch on the "Boomer's test didn't take 11 hours." There are ways you could try to explain it, but I think it must have just been a change in writing.

Mark Chrisco

We do have something in common: I find both the Ellen character and actress who portrays her (to be polite) unappealing.

Troy Convers

Still better than the actress that plays Callie. Hoo-boy...

Lizbeth Marcs

Awwww, I like Ellen. Okay, that probably makes me a Team of One, but still... I agree about Callie though.

Nolan

Every season of BSG has the One Bad Episode. S1 has two potential contenders, but I tend to lean toward this one because of how OTT it is, and how it tries to strike a comedic tone in a show that doesn't really have the set up to deliver comedic episodes. I think this is a hold over from RDM's Trek days where they would take breaks from heavy subjects, with light levity break episodes. Plus, dated 20 year old humor. Gosh, culturally we just didn't have a clue.

Nolan

I always had two things about that a) Boomer's test was intercut accross several scenes, so we don't know how long that took and b) they said in this episode that it was the verification that takes hours, which I assume means, he runs the test, it comes up green or red, then he subjects the blood sample to the same sort of radiation as in the Ragnar nebula, which takes hours to break down. I mean, if Gaius were even bothering with the results anyway.

The same Kate Vernon from 16 Candles!

Jonathan

I love the shot of Baltar spinning on his chair at the end, unnoticed by everyone. He just looks so insane in that moment. The cuts between Six being there and not being there are so well done.

Troy Convers

Cylon raiders have personalities, and can hold grudges. Wait until you meet my boy Scar...

John

I've watched this series many times and neve liked Ellen, but it never hit me as hard as it did today trying to see it through Kat's eyes. The difference between knowing Tigh is a character, but imagining someone doing that to a real person made me realize just how horrible and toxic she is - and that's knowing Ellen's a character too.

Thontor

Definitely not the best episode but your reaction was so great. Your reaction to Ellen had me cracking up.

Mike Connaghan

I'm not sure how you're managing the TW/spoiler issues, but this show deals with some of the most difficult and real experiences there are. It seems crazy that we should be surprised by the trauma considering how the whole story starts, but somehow it manages to do it.

Wade Wallenstein

Your reaction to Ellen Tigh did not disappoint. It's been nearly 20 years but the dialog and the acting still hit hard. She is easily the most repulsive character in the series and that's saying something lol.

Brina Blue

In addition to what you said, I also added in to myself that Boomer's test was just a beta test so the time on hers could easily be different from the real tests.

Ben Chan

I think some of the Cylon detector plot was tweaked because they weren't really sure where they were going with it at first. (just my opinion) Like having Balthar say "everyone gets a pass" was the writers wanting to get that plot device off the table so they could screw with us more. (or "Moore")

Ben Chan

I love rewatching this series with y'all. The level of violation Ellen commited on Saul went over my head when I first watched this, but the emotion on your faces spoke volumes and I am in a place now where I totally get it. Also, kudos to the sound department for making sure we knew the lab scene was ultimately supposed to be comedic, because the actors had to play it totally straight. And if the music had been dramatic, it wouldn't have worked. Also, the subtle mention of Billy stating "we don't know who's been replaced with a Cylon" because it's one thing for there to be sleeper agents, who appear human, but this might be the first time they're considering that maybe real people were *replaced* by Cylons. Just another way for the show to frak with us - like Adama "suddenly" acting strangely. Not a spoiler, just noting how his comment played into *this* episode.
