Episode #10 "Pegasus"/ Spoiler Alert !!

[markus]

Battlestar Galataica discovers a radar blip of a large size and at first they think it to be a cylon basestar and the transponder code says it is colonial, instead turns out to be another battlestar the "Pegasus" and its commanding officer "Admiral Cain".

After the celebration it goes from good to worse with cain taking over the fleet.

Upon assuming command of the fleet cain begins moving crew members around transferring lee (apollo) and kara (starbuck) to the pegasus.

The pegasus also has a ylon prisoner which turns out to be another number six, she is in a catatonic state after been tortured and raped.

Baltar discovers from this that the cylon psychology can be broken or manipulated like our own. In the end he declares in the solitude of the interrogation room his love for the person he knew before the war and that she was a cylon that looked exactly like her.

He also brings her some food and seeing her drag her hand over to the food and get a piece and put it in her nouth and start crying was deeply moving even if she is a cylon

We also see some pegasus crew boasting to callie, helo and tyrol about their “conquests” with their cylon while the pegasus interrogator is beating and trying to have his way with boomer.

This leads to a confrontation with helo,tyrol and Lt thorn and they accidentally kill him.

They are then taken to the pegasus and found guilty of murder and treason and sentenced to death.

Then commander adama sends a raptor to the pegasus to get his men back from admiral cain and she responds by launching her alert fighters then adama does the same and lauches his fighters.

Now what a cliff hanger and we have to wait until january to see the rest

Even though this was a great episode IMO, this one is not for children to watch

I think michelle forbes did a great job in this one you know she was meant to be hated, you could also tell by the way her crew were spit shined and squared away that the were afraid of her

The XO from the pegasus talking about her shooting the last XO and then turns around and says he was kidding to me was a slip of the tongue while drinking
( I think so anyway )

Good episode but I'm wondering how is this all going to turn out?
Obviously Cain is out of order with what she's doing. Just as obviously, the Pegasus can't continue on in this show.
So how do they resolve it??

[Speardane]

WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JANUARY!
I hate cliffhangers, although once I've seen the next episode I'm usually glad they did it.

[Quest]

SciFi wants us all to come back for the second half of season two in January. So they ended the first half with a cliffhanger.
Pretty good gimmick if you ask me.

Ah, cool! They've finally decided to remake the old Commander Cain episode from the original series? I was wondering when they'd get around to that.

Wish I had cable.... I still haven't seen all the season 1 episodes.

Needless to say, this one sounds a lot nastier than the original. Does she carry a riding crop like Lloyd Bridges did?

[LadyTass2001]

She doesn't need one to get her point across, she is one tough lady.......that is for sure. and I say that in a respectful way just in case she is listening--LOL--scary scary

[Quest]

She was tough. I thought Tigh was tough, but she makes him look like a sweetheart, lol.

[markus]

I have to admit she played the role well IMO

She was intimidating and had a very powerful persona

It looked like she relished this role and enjoyed every minute of it

[Quest]

I have a feeling she did enjoy playing this role. In a way it's going to be a shame to see her eventually go.

in the original they left open the possibility of the ship returning, maybe that'll be the case here as well
