If you really want to get spoiled, go to the BSG forum and look at the info on the upcoming "Maelstrom" episode. You've been warned.

I wonder where things are going regarding the chief? Has anyone else noticed that he's never really recovered after Sharon was outed as a Cylon?

First there were the dreams, which were averted by (amusingly enough) the Cylon priest and falling in love with Callie (after beating the s!%t out of her). But then after escaping from New Caprica, it's been a steady slide downhill again. The weird visions he had leading him to the Eye. Then back on Galactica, he's been drinking very heavily in the bar almost since day one.

Something dark is coming for the chief.

why is the episode called the woman king? Wouldn't something like "dr death" be more appropriate?

Potential spoilers below.

Listening to the official BSG podcast, it seems that Zarek's freakout at Roslin was going to figure into his involvement in an ugly episode that was to be revealed at Baltar's upcoming trial.

Apparently during the year that the BSG crew were down on New Caprica, the Sagitarrons split off and set up on their own in a more secluded area, refusing to take part and help out the rest of the burgeoning society on the planet. They took but never gave, generally pissed people off with their attitude, and things finally came to a head with them and the government under Baltar (and Zarek, and Gaeta) - leading to a massacre.

All of that backstory, however, was cut from being filmed and the producers decided to go with the story that was already known for Baltar's trial. The Zarek freakout, along with what Baltar whispered to Gaeta to make him go nuts in the last episode, should now make sense.

The last name of mother of the young man that died was "King".

:roll:

We don't need base ships exploding to make it interesting. This episode was better for not having ANY baseships.

This week was slightly better but it's been done before. At least Agathorn got some mileage out of it. I also thought I'd missed an episode like others in this thread.

That decision sucked.

I thought I'd seen every episode, but in the "This is what's happened so far" 30 second clip they always do at the start of the show to catch people up, they showed a clip where the Sagitarrons were moving on board. I don't remember ever seeing that story in any of the previous episodes (or...more likely, they've been so craptacular, I've blocked it from my mind).

This came up on the BSG board. It was a cut scene from another episode.

I'm totally confused here. Did I miss an episode? The last one I saw is where they had Baltar on Galactica and were interrogating him.

That's exactly what I thought. I had to go to TV.com to check if I missed one.

The only thing good about this episode was the brief shot of Sharon in her panties. Hotness.

Hmm...I don't recall that scene. When was it?
