At the same time, Boomer and Jolly find a Cylon listening post, land and scan before leaving to warn the Galacticaīaltar spends time getting used to his new chair high above the floor, though I have to think it must be pretty dull when he’s not hatching an evil plot. Greenbean and crew are rescued by Colonel Tigh, who’s going to keep a tight grip on the party, but there will be a party. Apollo goes a little too far in and Starbuck rescues him with some great flying – we see the limitations of Colonial radio and instrument technology here, but our heroes are safe and well as Flight Sergeant Greenbean and other pilots hide some booze (ale and ambrosia) from security (in black uniforms). Starbuck and Apollo find a void, a “magnetic sea”. I wonder if we’re supposed to forget that part? Transition to a shot of Cylon base stars and a recap of Baltar getting his command. Maybe we’re going to get hints about the Colonial religion.īut first, two patrols leave, Boomer and Jolly on one, Apollo and Starbuck on another, and Starbuck is sad that Apollo getting married. Adama provides Blessings of the Lords of Cobol, leaving us to wonder where Cobol is and who its Lords are. Congratulations are in order, and when Athena looks pointedly at Starbuck, he leaves quickly, letting us know there will be a bachelor party. Finally, Apollo bows to pressure and announces that he and Serina are getting married.
Learning Serina an awesome cook, we kick off a round of everyone making fun of Apollo (including Boxey) with Adama wishing he were far, far younger so he might pursue Serina himself. We open, for real, for another episode of “Dinner with the Adamas”. This tells me that they had to save on the budget somewhere, so why not make each show a minute or so shorter and just flash a couple hints of the best bits at the audience and go straight into the opening credits? And those credits are still on the long side for a TV show. I’m trying to remember how common it was for shows to have what amounted to a brief clip scene instead of a teaser.
Delayed, but finally, here, my re-watch of Battlestar Galactica, after many years of it living fondly only in memory, continues with Lost Planet of the Gods.
