Finally, some real Cylon contact!
It turns out that the Cylons have been tracking the human fleet, but Number 6 supposedly gave Tigh the information he needed to throw the toasters off their scent.
But that info came at a price. Number 6 threw Tigh into a guilt-ridden tailspin, which climaxed at the trial when he said he’d do anything to put Dr. Baltar away except, of course, stay sober. Way to be a good witness, Tigh! Thanks a bunch!
What was the deal with the music? Didn’t Sam hear it in the bar as well? And what was the deal with the look that the President’s aide (Tori) and Sam shared at the bar? Are Sam and Seelix are becoming an item? My head is spinning.
I still don’t get why Lee would want to help Baltar. I understand that Starbuck’s death has made him want to step out from his father’s shadow, but why help Gaius? That scene in the Admiral’s quarters was classic:
Lee: Are you calling me a liar?
Will: I’m calling you a liar and a coward.
Lee: I will not serve for a man who questions my integrity.
Will: And I will not have an officer under my command who doesn’t have any.
Ouch.
It looks like Baltar’s trial and the season are going to wrap up next week. Is it just me or is this season lacking the normal buildup to the finale? All those self-contained domestic episodes in the middle of the season threw me for a loop.
