Cylon sympathizers are causing trouble throughout the fleet; Sharon's baby's blood is "damned peculiar," and to top it off, it's looking like the end of the road for President Roslin. But before she shuffles off this mortal coil, we get some flashback action. And of course, it wouldn't be an episode of Set Condition One without some Very Accurate Science™️. Come along as we try to answer the question: is blood shapes?

With the fate of the Colonial fleet - and possibly the Cylon race - hinging on an important mission, Lee decides to go for a float trip. Can Starbuck pull off another hotshot plan? Will destroying the Resurrection Ship really stop the relentless Cylon pursuit? Will we learn that Admiral Cain has a heart of gold after all? Will we actually answer any of these questions? Tune in to find out!

When we last left our heroes, Adama was determined to get Helo and Tyrol back from the Pegasus; Starbuck was on a mission for the Yearbook committee, and Roslin wasn't feeling so hot.

This week, Adama and Cain get called to the principal's office; Starbuck returns at an inopportune moment, and Caleb still hasn't cleaned his leftovers out of the company refrigerator.

On a positive note, our favorite XO, Michael Hogan, is making slow but steady progress. If you have the means, consider donating to his gofundme.

CW: This episode of Battlestar Galactica deals with torture and sexual assault.

We learned that there are multiple cuts of the episode. For most viewers, we strongly recommend the 45min cut that is streaming on Peacock TV.

When a ship jumps into DRADIS range broadcasting Colonial transponder codes, our crew is understandably skeptical. But is it a dream, or did another Battlestar really survive the Cylon attack? That's cause for celebration, right?! Definitely nothing will go wrong when an ambitious young admiral with a history of cruel decision-making takes control of the fleet. Let's be honest here - we love you Michelle Forbes, but we already hate Admiral Cain.

Not for the first - or last - time, we marvel at Tricia Helfer's range as an actor, and EJO's imposing presence even when he's no longer in charge. This cast is brilliant!

Here's the list of the scenes you're missing if you're watching the show on Peacock. We're still not totally clear on where/if these aired in the first place, but a few of them do provide some context, and as we learn in this episode, it's always important to consider the context.

You can listen to an ad from 1999 for Philadelphia Y100s "Dead Guy in the Envelope" contest. Unfortunately, it doesn't feature the They Might Be Giants' theme song, which is frustratingly difficult to track down. (We highly recommend you listen through the end of this episode, though!)

A Galactica Carol:

Spirit - Tonight you will be visited by 3 Cylon viruses. The first will... MESS WITH THE LIGHTS!

Gaeta - AH!

Spirit - The second will... SCREW WITH YOUR MONITOR!

Dualla - AHH!!

Adama - What about the third?

Spirit - The third will... uhhh... it will also MESS WITH THE LIGHTS!

All - AHHHH!!

The Galactica's systems have been infected with a Cylon logic bomb, and if Baltar & Gaeta can't get it under control, they may be forced into a desperate move. Meanwhile, Chief Tyrol is tired of patching old planes with spit & octagonal duct tape, and decides to build his own - but who will be crazy enough to fly it?

Journalist D'anna Biers has been given unlimited access to the Galactica and her crew in order to tell the real stories of the fleet's protectors. But does she have other motives? By asking that question, am I confirming that she does? Will she give the people of the fleet a fair story, or will she reveal Galactica's darkest secrets? Why is even their TV formatted as an unnecessary octagon?? That's a lot of questions - you should probably watch the episode & then listen to us answer them.

In what we believe was a midseason finale (why is that even a thing??) we encounter yet another 2-part episode. So we of course recorded both back to back and absolutely nothing went wrong. Why would you even say that?

The real takeaway from this episode is that Dr. Cottle needs his own spinoff - like MASH, but in space.

We grapple with the real issues:

• How to get out of a ravine
• Who has the more badass name, Wolf Blitzer or Bear McCreary?
• When did Gaius take up pretentious smoking?
