Battlestar Galactica

Eighteen months ago, the Ellen Tigh model of Cylon was resurrected, old boobs and all. From what she's saying, she's like the Mother of All Cylons. She (along with the other Final Five) created the human-looking Cylons. In the present day, the Dean Stockwell model wants to operate on the Ellen model to access her memories for some reason, but the Boomer model helps her escape.

Sam is bald and being operated on, after being shot in the back of the head. There is much skull drilling and babbling, and Sam remembers things while in surgery. He remembers the last days of the Final Five, and that they all downloaded to the Resurrection Ship to be reborn after the nuclear holocaust.

He says Dean Stockwell is the Cylon that killed the original versions of the Final Five and then brought them back with false memories. Other than that, I didn't really follow what he was saying. I'm dumb.

John Hodgman plays the brain surgeon and that just makes me LOL. John Hodgman playing John Hodgman - he's just not the kind of guy who can disappear into a role. He's not a very good surgeon either. Sam survives, but appears to have no brain activity.

The Chief shows Adama the breaches he spotted in Galactica's hull. Time and war have taken their toll on the old girl. The Chief says he can fix the ship -- with Cylon technology. Adama is against this, but then goes along with it for the good of the ship.

This episode was a little too much blahblahblah for me. I can't follow this philosophical stuff. And who is Daniel? Ugh. I just like shootin'.
