Battlestar Galactica

Yes, what ARE you Kara Thrace? I would certainly like to know. But the answer will not be revealed tonight, if ever.

The first pilot to find an inhabitable planet wins a tube of toothpaste. The last tube of toothpaste in existence. Sometimes I forget that these people don't have luxuries and they basically eat algae all day, right? With all the booze it's easy to forget, but I guess you can make booze from anything.

Anders is in a coma, so Starbuck spends her time drinking, talking with a composer working at the bar piano, and having visions of her dead body.

The Chief visits his Eight (Boomer) in the brig (she is to be executed for treason) and she Cylon-projections for him the little fantasy life she has about them being married. He seems thrilled by the whole thing - house, half-Asian daughter. It's kind of weird and stalkery though, no?

Bitter that Boomer is going to be executed, the Chief attacks a different Eight and switches them out. Tricky man. But Helo shows up to the showers and mistakes Boomer for Athena (goddamn it's hard to keep these Eights straight), and they have sex - while Athena watches from the closet, where Boomer stashed her after she beat her up. Then Boomer picks up Hera the Half-Breed from day care.

Starbuck and Piano Man start playing the Final Five Cylons' Song, which apparently Starbuck's dad wrote when she was a kid, and Hera the Half-Breed drew for her.

Boomer, now impersonating Athena, takes a Raptor and leaves Galactica. Athena busts out of her little prison and lets Helo know he actually banged Boomer, and that Boomer has their kid. But efforts to keep her on the ship don't work, and Boomer launches, with Hera on board. She also jumps while she's too close to Galactica, which damages the ship.

So now the Half-Breed is gone from Galactica. I thought the Chief knew that they were sneaking the kid out, but he didn't realize what was in the big container. Oops. Roslin can feel that Hera is gone, and she passes out.

Only three more left!
