This moment has been building for many seasons. We couldn't figure it out, but this Six is who frees him from that crazy puppetmaster in his head. Interesting concept, but totally impossible. I think there might be a single guard or camera in between the brig and her quarters. Just a thought. I don't want to get all technical and stuff, but they better not keep doing crap like this (see my last post). Sloppy.

Baltar did finish the cylon detector, and the Pegasus has their own, anyway. 6 was able to escape becuse guards had been reassigned in case of cylon boarding parties. She did have one guerd (R.I.P.). I suspect though that they did not view her as a threat anymore. Up until Baltar worked his mojo, she was comatose.

Well, go watch her as Ensign Roe for a while on the old Star Trek TNG eps. She kinda shows skin every once in a while.

Maybe she did, and we'll get to see it in a flashback later!

Sheesh. I mean, I watch the show for the stories and the charachters, but gimme a couple minutes of space shoot-em-up every once in a blue moon.

This episode was supposed to be about the battle between Cain and Adama. The space battle, believe it or not, is supposed to play second chicked to the assasination plot line. The space battle was a sub plot! The second sub plot is what has my attention. Spoiler:
This season not only do we get to see Apollo break out of his shell, we get to see him melt down. His misadventure in space is the flint that starts the fire of his mental deterioration. I suspect he will have a break down before the season is up. Also HE WILL GET SOME STARBUCK. Trust me on that one. Will in be a halucination or reality? Who can say.

Not all base stars are armed with nukes. These were defensive shipes, and thus were simply stocked with a ton of raiders. The producers said in an interview, "This is not Star Wars...this is not Star Trek..." This series is about the people and the cylons; the space and science stuff has to take a back sea in order for the dramatic element of the show to work. That is where both Star Wars and Star Trek failed quite often.
