Season 3, Episodes 11 & 12

Episode 11: The Eye of Jupiter

  • Kara really believes in marriage.
  • Hooray for Head Six being back!
  • How did Athena know the Eight who boarded the Galactica was Boomer? I guess the same way Hera knew Athena was her mother in the next episode.
  • Laura completely blanking Gaius was harsh, but totally understandable.
  • The image of Tyrol dancing around naked with porn in his mother's prayer room makes me chuckle.
  • Since when do the skin jobs call each other by their "human" names? This hasn't happened before, has it? Or do they use these names to refer to the specific models? So, Cavil, Leoben, D'Anna, Simon and Doral do not refer to all of the Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours and Fives (respectively), but to the One who bribed Ellen, the Two who held Kara captive, the Three who is in a relationship with Gaius and Six, the Four who pretended to be a doctor on Caprica and the Five who was on the Galactica in the miniseries? Or am I reading too much in to this?
  • It was sad to see Three, Gaius and Six's polygamous relationship come to an end, or rather, to see their destinies diverge.
  • Brilliant cliffhanger ending!

Episode 12: Rapture
  • They really drew out the launching of the nukes.
  • Gaius believes in God now? WTF?!
  • Caprica Six really gets emotional about the baby. I was surprised that she even killed Boomer so that Athena could take Hera back with her.
  • Why was One with Three and Gaius in the Temple of Five?
  • So much suspense with Three seeing the faces of the Final Five! I can't wait for them to be revealed (partly because I think I already know who two of them are, and I just want no longer to be in spoiler limbo!)
  • I feel really bad for Dee.
  • Has Caprica Six defected to the humans? Also, did she know Gaius would be on the Galactica when she got there, and if so, did knowing that influence her in going with Athena back there?
  • Kara has been seeing the Eye of Jupiter since her childhood. I'm looking forward to learning what her destiny is.
  • The gooey resurrection bath doesn't look as nice when it's not lit up from underneath. Gross.

  1. Eye Of Jupiter is a great episode, lots of location work mixed with stunning set design and the mixing of science and mysticism in regards to prophecy. Rapture continues the thread with some good combat action and of course D'anna and the temple.
    Yeah the Chief and his porn:)

  2. Thanks for the comment, Jarrak. Yea, I really liked Eye of Jupiter for just that reason.
