Battlestar Galactica

Ellen arrives on Galactica and promptly old-lady-bangs the S out of old Tigh. Then she meets with her fellow Cylons, who all want to leave the fleet and start their own community.

Ellen's grossed out that Tigh impregnated Six, because she thinks of the younger Cylons as their children. Yeah, that's gross. She's also threatened because Six is way hot and Ellen is way old.

Six starts having contractions when Tigh says he refuses to leave Galactica, even with her and the baby. Six tells Doc to cut the baby out, but the baby dies before he can.

Baltar comes back to his religious harem thing. Some of the chicks are pissed that he abandoned him. He plays it off like it was a test, knowing they would find the strength to persevere. The new leader chick isn't buying it. Since Baltar isn't getting enough love from his harem, he heads out among the great unwashed and promises to feed all of them. And he gets the love and adoration he wants. But his plan backfires when some thugs steal the rest of the food. That's OK, he just goes home and delivers a rousing speech about how they can get through this - all they need are bigger guns.

Baltar warns the Adamas and Roslin that there's a revolution brewing among the great unwashed. And that's how he gets his guns - by saying he'll keep order among the people.

I loved the Ellen/Tigh incessant bickering. Also, at the end Sam's heart rate starts spiking. Next week: maybe some Starbuck answers? That would be nice.
