Last time, I speculated that things aren’t all they seem with the Final Five. Now that we’ve found out Earth ain’t it’s all cracked up to be, everybody gets a bit introspective.<\/p>\n
Spoilers ahead.So, everybody’s a bit depressed after finding out that the Promised Land isn’t all milk and honey. The humans are a bit sad, selfish, and distrustful of their home-appliance cousins. The Cylons are feeling a little vulnerable and want to permanently join the Alliance. This would be fine, except that most humans have a very long memory (not that you’d need one to hold a grudge against the genocidal machines that have been trying to erase you from existence). This is compounded by two things: Colonel Tigh and Six are about to have the first baby born of Cylon\/Cylon pairing; and none of the civilian ships are entertaining the notion of having Cylons on board to upgrade their FTL drives.<\/p>\n
There’s a little interlude as Tyrol discovers that he’s not the father of his child. Instead, that honour goes to the pilot with the dubious name, Hot Dog. As Starbuck tells us later, she wasn’t wrong in picking that name for him.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this episode serves as little more than a prologue to the next two episodes…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
