Season 2, Episodes 9 & 10

Episode 9: Flight of the Phoenix

Highlights/Moments of Revelation
  • Practicing in the shooting range with a picture of Sharon printed on the target was harsh.
  • Apollo and Dee? Really?
  • Tigh loves the "being caught with pants down" metaphors!
  • Gaeta addressing Sharon by name.
  • Watching Sharon cut her hand open and sticking the tube in it was so gross.
  • It was touching to see how Sharon and Adama exchanged grateful looks after she had sent the virus over to the Cylon fleet, but then hearing him say "take this thing back to its cell" dampened that feeling somewhat.
  • Naming the Blackbird "Laura" made me cry. Also, I really thought she was going to smash the bottle of champagne on it!
  • I was so glad Tyrol picked up the phone to talk to Sharon.
Question
  • Does Adama trust Sharon now?
Episode 10: Pegasus 


Highlights/Moments of Revelation
  • The music in the opening scene felt rather like the opening to an 80s power ballard.
  • Star Trek taught me that Admirals don't command ships, so I was surprised to see Cain in command.
  • Six's reaction to seeing her own model locked up on the Pegasus was so perfect, and so human.
  • Gaius talking to the Six model, telling her about how he was in love with the Six he met on Caprica, and finally watching the imprisoned Six move to eat the food left for her was really very touching.
  • Rape (while pregnant, no less) as a form of interrogation? Wrong, much?
  • The 12 Colonies enforce capital punishment? Really?
