I'm gonna have to watch this again as I found it to be kinda boring .
And Ellen's a farking bitch .
It was definitely a letdown after the past few episodes, but it served to underscore just how human the Final Five are, especially Ellen.
Thought it interesting that as soon as Liam died, Anders's brain activity started up again. Hmm...
The part where Col. Tighe said that cylons and humans just weren't working successfully as separate groups but are stronger together is still making me roll my eyes.
The humans seemed to be doing fine before the attack on the colonies, methinx?
Tyrel's voting to jump was a WTF? moment .
I missed the bit where Liam might have leaked into Anders' brain .
Definately need a re-watch , but with five eps to go this was a disappointment .
I wonder Tyrol's decision to jump was a result of Adama's continued reluctance to use the Cylon solution to the hull problems. He doesn't seem to be rejecting the humans as much as he seems to be rejected by them (Cally/Adama/etc.) I'll be interested to see how the Boomer situation works out.
Ellen's about-face with her decision once the baby was in jeopardy was odd. On the one hand, if she really never intended to leave, that means that the two of the final five who actually remember realize the importance of staying with the humans. And she's a manipulative bitch. If she was just trying to appease Tigh and Caprica, well, that seems a little too nice for our Ellen.
She really seemed quite different this week. I suppose Saul really is her achilles heel.
The thing I truly loved about this episode was the Tigh/Adama interaction. Forget Hera, the friendship that they have managed to maintain is the REAL hope for humanity/cylon survival.

Made me think that a true Cylon baby is like a resurrection ship. If one is born, one has to die.
i went to sleep halfway through... i guess i'll watch the rest online, but not very enthusiastically...

Agreed. Kinda ticked me off that they killed off Caprica's baby. Oh, and Anders was basically brain-dead one minute and awake and talking the next? I guess it's a good thing he's a cylon, cause once a human is brain dead that's it, there is no coming back.
I must have been half asleep my own self on this.
Saul wanted to name his son Liam.
Short for William.
As in William Adama.
Duh.

Duh.
Is Liam seriously short for William?? I'm assuming that's in Ireland, cause in the US, Bill is short for William. Just sayin'.....
(Liam Neeson......Yummy!)
William.

So Anders is the resurrection ship? AFAWK, Liam is the only true Cylon baby, conceived wif intercourse and luv.
The last 10 minutes was the most interesting part ~ praying over the baby, losing the baby, Tigh and Adama, Anders having brain activity. Almost like they had to cliffhang it at the end. What's weird is this ep was written by Jane E.
...conceived wif intercourse and luv.
I love it when you talk dirty.
:loloeo:
Aww, that's sooooooo cuuuuuuuute! :c9:

I loved the Bill and Tigh scene at the end. You could feel the pain Adama was feeling for his best friend. Sad. Still ticked that they killed Liam off before he even showed up.
Oh, and anybody know where Herra (sp?) has been all this thyme? She's suppose to be this big deal but they never have her on the show!

So you WEREN'T making fun of me..... :haha:
Not this time. :rofl:
Srsly, I was listening to the Galactica Water Cooler podcast and they mentioned it. They said they thought it was one of those things that Saul did without even realizing it himself, that he was naming his kid after Bill, after a fashion.
And speaking of the GWC podcast, my call made the show (#153, 1 hour, ten minutes, 30 secs into the podcast) with the observation that once Anders started to die the baby started kicking and they when the baby died Anders's brainwaves start back up.
Yay you! :happy:
