Battlestar Galactica 2.1 Scattered

1. Let me get this out of the way right now. Gaeta is a Cylon. Evidence: In the miniseries, there was a Cylon transponder device placed on the bridge that Gaeta overlooked. How did he miss something so obviously not part of Galactica's equpiment. In episode "33" the Cylons jumped to where the fleet jumped every 33 minutes without fail. Gaeta was the one plotting those jumps. How did they find them so easily? In the season finale, right before Boomer shoots Adama, he goes over to shake her hand but it appears as though he hands her something. The gun perhaps? And in this episode, he conveniently forgot to relay the changed jump calculations to the rest of the fleet. Which forced them to go back in order to find the fleet. Because it was too risky too go back, Tigh was leaning towards not doing it...until Gaeta came up with an idea that allowed them to go back and stay for only 10 minutes. It required the use of a network, which they don't use on the Battlestar because the Cylons are computers and would be able to use it to access Galactica's systems. This had to be a ploy to get them back in order to have that ship with Cylon Centurions to infiltrate the ship. There you have it Gaeta is a Cylon.

2. Am I the only that knew that Tarn was going to get his. At least he didn't go back by himself.

3. These flashbacks of a "young" Adama and Tigh are a little annoying. Especially since EJO does *not* look any younger in them.

4. Oh Crap. What are Helo and Starbuck going to do now with no ride?

5. Crashdown doesn't know what he's doing. He will get everyone killed.

6. Where did this guy directly under Tigh come from? This dude popped up out of nowhere.

7. Tigh's wife is sooo Lady Macbeth. Her scheming is reminiscent of my girl Sherry Palmer. But nobody will be shadier than Sherry.

8. Grade: B Not much happened but Ronald Moore said that season 2 doesn't really begin until the 6th episode. I take that to mean that the first 6 episodes are a continuation of this story arc. Sounds like Season 6 of DS9 to me (Moore was an exec producer on DS9). With that long story arc after the federation left the station. I'm looking forward to this.
