This Friday night’s episode of Battlestar Galactica will be the last new episode that airs for a while. That’s the bad news (though it’s probably not news). The good news is, based on the clip from the episode, titled “Revelations,” I’m guessing this mid-season finale is going to be a good one! Spoiler Warning: This article contains some information about the upcoming episode of Battlestar Galactica so read at your own risk!
If you caught the teaser for the mid-season finale that aired immediately following last week’s episode, then you should already have a general idea of what’s going down this week. The rebel Cylons plan to hold Roslin hostage in exchange for the final Cylons. Here’s a clip from the episode:
For those of you who are unable to view the Hulu clip, we usually host the video ourselves to allow fans outside the U.S. the opportunity to see it but unfortunately, we don’t have the clip (yet). We’ll upload the video if/when it becomes available to us so be sure to check back in - Update: We've got the uploaded version of the clip now (posted above) but here's the rundown of the clip anyway:
Bill Adama climbs off a raptor onto Galactica’s and hugs Lee. D’Anna is with him and she stares out at the people who are there to greet Adama. There’s an Eight behind her (possibly the same Eight that has Athena’s memories?). Tori and Tigh are near the front of the crowd. D’Anna looks at them purposefully (but not in a way that would be obvious to anyone besides them and us). D’Anna tells everyone, “The good news is that your president Laura Roslin is alive and well, as are your crewmates.” Adama tells everyone, “She wants four Cylons that are in this fleet. She’s gonna hold our people hostage until she gets them.”
D’Anna responds, “You don’t have to do anything except stay out of the way. I’m already in contact with them. Now that they realize that there’s nothing to fear and that we only want to love and protect them (Tori looks awkward and nervous, Tigh looks stern), they should find a way of joining us. I just ask that you don’t interfere with any of the shuttle traffic within the fleet.” Lee responds skeptically, “So your plan is to take these ‘four cylons’ (he doesn’t do the air quotes but the tone is there) and head off to earth leaving us behind?”
D'Anna says, “Now, that’s up to them.” (she smirks). Lee says, “Alright, if these four cylons (cut to Tori looking thoughtful and still, awkward) want to come to you (pan up to Anders and Tigh leaning over the railing watching down at the scene), I won’t stop them.” D’Anna asks, “Do you agree with this, Admiral?” and Adama barks, “Agreed.”
Woah. Ok so we’re assuming D’Anna knows the identities of all five, right? But there’s only talk of four here. So why is she holding back on the fifth cylon? Is he or she not among the fleet? Presumed dead? Or is it that she just didn’t recognize whoever it is?
And here's the "What the Frak?" recap video for "The Hub".
