Battlestar galactica how many episodes
Adama locates Colonel Tigh's wife amongst the survivors of the fleet and reluctantly brings her aboard. She is bad for the Colonel, sleeping around and making him drink and Adama needs his right hand man too much to let him get dragged down by her. He orders the cylon test to be carried out on her immediately.
The fleet has another problem when a cylon ship gets damaged and starts acting strangely. Much more a character episode than others to date and quite easily the weakest one that we have had so far.
Ellen Tigh is a truly awful character and anyone could see that in a second, so why the Colonel was ever taken with her remains the only real mystery. Her behaviour at the dinner is beyond any sense of reality. Also beyond the pale is the Baltar thread, which continues to be a thorn in our side. Not only are we and Starbuck treated to the less than pleasant sight of the man apparently pleasuring himself Number 6 only being in his mind, of course , but he has decided that it would be easier if he pretended every Cylon test was a negative and has still not given up Boomer.
Interestingly, the Boomer model on Caprica is starting to act like the one on Galactica, apparently falling in love with Helo and breaking ranks with the Cylons to escape with her man. An ore processing plant that might have been able to supply Galactica and the fleet's fuel needs for two years is found to be overrun by Cylons. Adama decides that the time has come to strike back and determines to take the ore. Starbuck organises a plan whilst Apollo must prove himself in battle and Gaius Baltar must provide the target, even though he knows nothing about ore processing plants.
Another fine episode that takes it plot and pares it down to the minimum. An operation is coming, everyone reacts according to their character and history. The operation goes ahead. It's simple, but excellently scripted and excellently played by the principals.
The joy of the beleagured humans finally getting to strike a blow against the Cylons is infectious. The elected representatives of the 12 colonies come together for the first time in Council. Gaius Baltar is Caprica's representative. When the terrorist leader from Bastille Day manoeuvres a vote on a new Vice President and has himself put forward and the President's chosen man turns out to be as charismatic as a lump of wet clay, Baltar is bumped up to VP candidate.
In the meantime, Apollo and Starbuck have an assassination attempt to worry about. Admittedly, the idea that Baltar could be elected to the position of Caprican representative without effort seems ridiculous and his rise to power is a bit rushed, but the show is only 45 minutes long after all. That aside, it is far more interesting and fun than it has any right to be and there are lots of interesting developments set up for the future. Galactica's scouts find a planet that could possibly be Kobol, the birthplace of the human race and the stepping stone to Earth.
Convinced that ancient prophecy is not foretelling the future, President Roslin wants to use the newly activated Cylon raider that Starbuck saved to go back to Caprica and get an arrow that will show the way.
Adama wants to use the raider to destroy the Cylon base ship that has just destroyed one ship and sent another crashing onto the planet. On Caprica, Helo is now aware that his Sharon is a Cylon and is not best pleased whilst on Galactica, that copy of Boomer is trying to kill herself. The penultimate episode of any show is a set up for the season finale and is never one of the best and so it proves here.
The multiple plotlines are nicely set up for the next episode, but there is no story in and of itself. Best to just wait and see how it all works out. The move into mythical, religious territory is an interesting one and extremely well handled. Starbuck has taken the Cylon Raider back to Caprica. Adama is not best pleased and decides that the President must be removed. He sends troops to board her ship. Boomer is sent on a mission into the heart of the Cylon Basestar where she finds out the truth about herself.
On the surface of Kobol, Baltar finds out what the future holds for the Children of God. All of the plotlines that have been building up finally come together in the season finale, but the only one resolved is the attack on the Basestar. Now that Boomer knows herself to be a Cylon her response is It's a hell of shock though. There are possibly a few too many plotlines going on at one time and the narrative is forced to jump around at times, breaking some of the tension, but on the whole the quality that this show has shown throughout continues right to the very end.
The only problem is the ease with which both Starbuck and Boomer fly right through the Cylon defences. Whilst the transponders that they have might mark them out as Cylons it seems wholly unlikely that neither ship would go unchallenged when not conforming to whatever everyone else is doing. It's a hell of a place to leave the story and it absolutely guarantees a second season.
There is no way that we can be left at this point and not know what the future holds for the crew of the Galactica and the members of the fleet. If this page was useful to you please sign our.
