So, who was that next to the old man?

Darn, it was an illusion; I thought he got some.

Wifey obviously. Maybe Ex-wifey in some of these flashbacks.

Seelix must be honored to get a front-row seat to Cally and Chief's f'd up marriage.

Wanna bet they have to hash out their differences now that they're locked in together?

Is it me, or do the Galactica engineers wear a suprising lack of personal protective equipment? No gloves or safety goggles in sight.

Side note: I would not step inside one of those airlocks without a presure suit and preferably a Viper. They are deathtraps.

Yeah, indeed; going to work on a defective airlock, and not a single vacuum suit in sight :?

No OHSA on the Bucket I guess :wink:

Great, instead of Starbuck soap opera we get Cheif/Cally soap opera.

Have a very nice day.

Not normally (unless you're on a SciFi TV show/movie and wearing a redshirt). :lol:

Right now, they're in a section that's been half-repaired from a Cylon attack a full year back (see Seelix's comment about a year-old lunch). Of course the temporary seals have a chance of breaking.

Ah-ha! They have cats, or some cat equivalent, in the colonies. (Apologies if this has been revealed earlier).

The OSHA thing is obscenely funny to me, since I actually have an entire class dedicated to OSHA regs and safety equipment and procedure this semester. Now I'm starting to *gasp* at unsafe work practices on the floor.

And it looks like Roslin and Adama are that much closer to the big hook-up.

Is it just me or are the weird Baltar-esque bits with Adama's ex wearing thin? We get it, they didn't have a great relationship. Nobody on this show does.

*Sigh* it's turning into TNG, it is. Did they spend so much money on CGI that they ran out of cash for such expensive things like pressure suits? Next we know the pilots will be exchanging their helmets and body armor for pajamas, I suspect.

What gets me is that it actually only costs like a few bucks to buy a pair of work gloves and safety goggles. They could easily afford to buy a few dozen for use as props in the show.

I actually like the idea of him having a conversation with his (dead)wife on their anniversery. Hell, I stop and try to ask myself "what would my dad have done?" in many situations, and his birthday and deathday always have me wondering what he'd have thought of Nitram, of my job with the state, of every little decision I've made.

Like Adama, I didn't get to say goodbye. So... I try to bring a little of him back, occassionally. But it's rather hard to climb in Dad's lap anymore :(

Get the fuck over it. You actually expected the writers to not reveal Chief and Cally's problems after that bar scene in a previous episode?

Well, I guess I can handle this better than the cliche this plot looked like it was heading for.

Still makes no sense that they didn't have pressure suits. Even if they didn't wear them in there, having an emergency set in teh airlock just makes sense.

I guess just like jefferies tubes, they aren't there for plot purposes. I for one think that is BS.
