Battlestar Galactica

Finally watched Friday's episode. Falling asleep every night at 9:00 is not conducive to TV viewing.

The Old Men aren't successful in holding off the mutinous invaders, and they're captured. Gaeta orders Roslin's Raptor shot out of the sky, but they evade and board the Cylon baseship.

Lee and Starbuck continue to kick ass as they make their way through the ship, finally breaking out the prisoners. In the breakout, Anders gets shot in the neck.

Romo returns, because I guess he's the only attorney in the fleet and Adama needs to be defended in his court martial.

Zarek makes himself the judge of the court martial. What a freaking travesty. He also speaks with the Quorum, trying to convince them to go along with him. But when they don't, and they kick him out of the room, ZAREK HAS SOLDIERS SHOOT THE ENTIRE QUORUM!!!! OH CRAP SON HE IS OUT OF CONTROL!

Once again, Gaeta's out of his element, and didn't intend it to go this far. Poor, dumb Gaeta. But still, when Adama is found guilty (duh), Gaeta orders him brought to an airlock with an execution detail. Luckily, The Gang shows up in time to free Adama. Go Gang! Adama's all, "I'm taking back my ship! Who wants in, bitches?"

Everybody wants in, and they storm the CIC. The Chief sabotages the FTL drive so the ship can't jump. EXCITEMENT!!!

This was a great episode, but I used to like Gaeta so much. But dammit he just makes these dumb decisions and gets in over his head and makes it impossible to love him and his nubby leg. Sigh.

And now he's dead. R.I.P. Zarek and Gaeta, executed for being frak-tards.
