Season 2, Episodes 13 & 14

Episode 13: Epiphanies

Highlights/Moments of Revelation
  • Flashback! (as indicated by a different hairstyle!)
  • We finally get to meet President Adar and hear the line that he told Laura that she quoted in Flesh and Bone (S1E8).
  • I had forgotten that Gaius would become President if Laura died!
  • Laura and Adar as lovers!
  • Cylon blood is the cure for cancer!
  • Gaius giving the Cylon sympathisers a nuclear warhead. He is insane.
  • Laura knows Gaius was in cahoots with the Cylons on Caprica! Squee!
Questions
  • Is Adama turning in to a military dictator?
  • Why does Gina (Six) need to wear glasses?
  • Does Laura's past relationship with President Adar have anything to do with her having become President of the Colonies after the Cylon attack? Too obvious?
Episode 14: Black Market

Thoughts/Questions
  • This episode kind of bored me. I was not as gripped as usual.
  • Why the "48 hours earlier" again? This is starting to feel repetitive, unnecessary and overused.
  • The whole thing with Lee and Siobhan was confusing. Was the girl Lee's daughter?
  • Were Fisk and Ellen having an affair? (because of her bracelet in his quarters.)

  1. Yes Black Market almost derailed the story if not the season. The subject may have needed to be addressed but it was done in a very ham fisted way.

  2. Agreed, Jarrak. As always, thanks for the comment.

  3. Gina obviously thought that Clark Kent had it sussed, and decided a pair of glasses would adequately conceal her true identity.
    What I don't understand is why her hair isn't blonde like all the other Cylon 6 models.
    And, on that note, why did all the Sharons on the resurrection ship have that forehead blemish/scar? The other Sharons don't, do they? Maybe the one who fell in love with Helo on Caprica did...I can't remember...?
