Battlestar Galactica: Episode 4.2 "Six of One" Recap

buddytv · 04-11-2008, 02:40 PM

Last week on Battlestar Galactica, Baltar was whisked away by a cult of ladies who seem to worship him as a messiah. Meanwhile, Starbuck returned from being presumed dead for two months, but was under the impression that she was only gone for six hours. Though Kara has no clue what happened to her, she's convinced that she knows the way to Earth. She's even willing to hold President Roslin at gunpoint to prove it.

Tonight's episode, "Six of One," shows us why pointing a gun at the head of the president is an extremely bad idea.

Great episode. I hope Starbuck gets her own crew... it'd be extra awesome if the 5th Cylon was on that crew.

A weird episode, but great. Loved the Baltars conversation, and I especially loved all the Cylon stuff. I was hoping Six's solution would be to un-box Lucy Lawless, but sentient Centurions are just as cool. I also loved all the continuity: Tyrol remembering Baltar and DeAnna seeing the Final Five, Laura's cancer, and even a Romo Lampkin reference. Fantastic.

I was so surprised to see Starbuck getting her own ship to look for earth. I guess Adama has some faith in Starbuck and maybe she can find it again. The Cylon scenes were great and I wonder what will happen to the Cylon that killed all the other Cylons. Cylons fighting among Clyons, love the irony. Still don't know who the last Cylon is and on what ship he/she is on. Can't wait for next week.

Seems to me the Cylons are more and more human as time goes by...Discord among the clones runs rampant as they try to decide whether or not to continue attacking the Battlestar fleet, as the Raiders seem pretty convinced “THE FINAL FIVE” are on the ship with the humans. Here’s what I don’t get: Who cares? If they’re Cylons, they’ll just come back anyway, right? I’m sure a better explanation will follow.

I think Geta is the final Cylon! Through his actions throughout the series and his position in the fleet. CIC? Who else would be the perfect cylon plant in a position of power? It is hard to see anyone else being a cylon on the ship but him. Secretly sending the cylon's the direction they are going, changing star maps to make Starbuck think the road to earth is nothing but an empty void of rocks? Remember, he was sending secret information on New Cap. who are now revealed as part of the final 5...
Also in season 1 Geta said he detected and prevented a cylon virus from being downloaded onto the ship... Did he really, or did he allow the virus to pass through and say nothing. I dont know about you all... but I think Geta is a toaster! LOL

Anyhow, I think the final 4 will unbox D'anna somehow through Baltar's information. Maybe by one or more of the final 4 will be willing enough to die, transport over to unbox her in some sort of covert mission. D'anna knows who the final Cylon is!

What I want to know is will Galen kill his wife or leave it to Tory to do the dirty work? (to Keep the second "cylon hybrid baby" a secret...) Speaking of which, does anyone think the Cylon's plan is to get the two Cylon hybrid babies to earth, kind of like an Adam and Eve senario? Just a thought... Since the running theme has been with zodiac signs, greek Gods and a 1 true God. Would they go with an "Adam and Eve" plot to intergrate the cyon hybrids into humanity then kill the rest for closure? The base ship cylons said "things have changed" are they talking about their master plan?

Thoughts? Comments? Its all good! Im sticking to my theroy! Hope I'm right. If not, dont scream at me! Hope the season ends well for all of us.

OMGAWD. I hadn't even thought of that. You're right - everyone that was an important part of the resistance on New Caprica is now revealed as a Cylon. Interesting....

Though, wouldn't that be just a little anti-climatic (though you do have an excellent point)? I feel like it really has to be one of the big dogs in order to live up to all the hype surrounding it??

More Battlestar Galactica Nielsen Ratings: They Aren’t Great

April 15th, 2008 by

The second episode of season four didn’t fare as well as the premiere, which also didn’t have great ratings (vs. the whole cable universe, not the SciFi channel, mind you). The second episode lost about 16% of its viewers from the premiere falling to 1.801 million viewers (from 2.138 million for the premiere). I predict it will lose more, perhaps even me for the time being, although I’m sure I’ll go back and binge on them when it winds up completing.

Before getting to the spoilers here are the first two episodes ratings in their debut airings. We don’t even get the first Friday airings via Nielsen because they don’t make the weekly cable top 40. I’d rate our odds of ever seeing any of the data for the subsequent airings as very, very close to zero..

Date Episode HH Rating/Share Viewers (millions) 18-49 Rating/Share

04/04/2008 He That Believeth in Me 1.1/3 2.138 1.3/2
04/11/2008 Six of One 1.1/2 1.801 0.9/3
04/18/2008 The Ties That Bind

Spoilers below…

Whatever promise the season four premiere held, some of it waned for me in the second episode. It seems likely they will drag out going back to earth until pretty much the finale and I think I may just be at the “all right, already just go to earth, sheesh!” point. Maybe I just didn’t like Number 6 (Tricia Helfer) with darker hair. Uh, no. She could dye her hair lime green and I’d still love her.

To be fair, last year there were episodes aplenty that were completely uninteresting to me. That was not the case with “Six of One”.

The episode had a few things I did enjoy but they probably amounted to about 10 minutes of viewing. I enjoyed Starbuck pulling a gun on the madam President, but that scene went a little (ok, way too) long. I enjoyed Starbuck calling Admiral Adama the gutless coward that he was and I enjoyed that it seemed to have motivated him to not be such a gutless coward. I also enjoyed the Natalie model of #6 demanding that Cavil (model #1) stop the the “raider lobotomies” and I especially enjoyed her calling in two Centurions (after having removed their “higher brain inhibitors” and seeing all the other human Cylons (besides Natalie) gunned down by them.

So far, the story line around the newly found out four human Cylons, including Tory getting naked with Baltar (and crying during sex) is completely uninteresting to me. Still, Baltar’s line that human’s may have created the cylons but it was the “one true God” who gave them souls will surely be revisited.

If there is a Starbuck “what life on a sewage ship is like” episode — so don’t want to watch that. Which probably ensures that there will be at least two…

Am I being too harsh? Or will another 337,000 bail out on this week’s episode. [red]I’m guessing it will have fewer viewers than Six of One, but only by 150K-200K or about 1.6-1.65 million viewers.[/red] What do you think?
