And can someone post or at least PM me a synopsis of the episode? I won't be able to see it for a while, but want to know how it goes down.

You know, the common thread of all the people who are hearing the music is that every one of the was on New Caprica. Ten bucks says the Cylons fucked with their heads and then activated a program to make some people go bug fuck.

I know I went on about this last week, but given this is the second time we have no intro and no "Plan" pre dohicky, I'm guessing that either this special for these two eps, or they've lengthened commercial breaks AGAIN and made it so that they had to cut it in order to keep the same amount of time on the show.

I'd bet it was the latter.

Well... until the PR girl heard it too, I was thinking it was just the members of the Tribunal Zarek set up.

At least that could go a bit further towards explaining Head Six.

Hmm, the way this episode is going so far, I'm starting to wonder if the entire series is going to be revealed to be the fantasy of an autistic boy watching oBSG. :?

Nice that they're getting everyone talking now. Have they finally decided to start making the weird crap make sense?

Well, I guess I was wrong about Gaetta lying on the stand.

"Oh Felix, what are you doing?" Good question from Baltar. He could have admitted Doral put a gun to his head that time. That time.

Fair's fair, in a way. Baltar accused him of....well I don't remember now exactly, but something he didn't do in the cell, lying his ass off to piss Geeta off, so...I guess he's just returning the favor.

Wait... Lee is Baltar's attorney. He can't testify, can he? :shock:

EDIT: I guess he can.

Knew Lampkin would try to get Adama removed. Why he wasn't pushing for this from the moment the panel was announced, I don't understand.

Lee's a lot smarter than he looks, even if he is an asshole here, now :?

IRL, a party's attorney can generally testify only if they withdraw from representing the party (at least in the US). The question will be if they allow Lee to keep "representing" Baltar after he gets off the stand.

I love him admitting he'd have left everyone to die on New Caprica.

It was preachy, it was something that belonged as a closing statement... but DAMN what a great speach!

So basically, this is all about Lee's guilty conscience, and his daddy issues. Lee can hereby kiss my big white ass. Baltar jumped in bed with the toasters to save his own ass, not to save the people, and they should have tossed him out the airlock the day he returned.

The problem here is that the fleet doesn't know just how much an asshole he is. How willing he is to sell himself and the fleet away for his own life. They only get part of the picture, sadly. We the audience knows he's guilty, we just can't nail him with it with what the fleet has. Roslin knows, but only through a delusion.

Bastard will get off.
