Battlestar Galactica 2.3 Fragged aka Baltar Becomes a Man

1. Okay...so Tricia Hefler has on a pea coat. It must be cold in Vancouver um I mean Kobol. But what does Six need a coat for? She doesn't get cold. She's all in Baltar's head. Or is she?

2. Boy those Cylons are smart! Building a missle battery out of parts from their ship. They're like Macgyver.

3. I see Dr. Cottle doesn't adhere by that antiquated medical policy of not smoking in the surgery room.

4. Yeah Tigh's off the wagon...and on the side of the road...laying in the gutter...holding a tin cup.

5. "Why aren't you in the brig?"
"Um cause nobody put me there."

"Why aren't *you* in the brig?"

Gotta love that old drunk Tigh!

6. Madam President is losing it.

7. I see Lady MacBeth has reared her duplicitous face. She's still no Sherry Palmer. But she's giving it the old college try though.

8. Callie: "I just joined to pay for dentist school."

9. I think Crash had good reason to take out the missile but he should have recognized there's no way they could've taken it down with the personel they had.

10. Ha! Baltar the voice of reason! Chief knows Baltar is right but it's the military. They can't vote on things. Gotta go with the chain of command, no matter how foolhardy it is.

11. This brotha is all about the faith. He's from Gemenon. And so is the black woman representative on the Quorum of 12. So Gemenon is a black planet huh?

12. How does Tigh's wife have access to the President anyway? That's a tight ship he's running there.

13. I love "D"! "Let the record reflect that the witness made the drinky drinky sign" (c) High Nasal Voice Lawyer on the Simpsons

14. Callie is not going. That girl is not moving for nothin'! I can't believe Crashdown pulled a gun on her.

15. Baltar is that G!

16. Those Cylons are no joke. Although sometimes it seems they went to the same shooting school as C.O.B.R.A. soldiers.

17. Wow. That backfired on ya Saul. Didn't it?

18. See? That's they way this "assault" on the Cylons was supposed to end. In Star Trek, the ragtag group of enlisted mechanics would have taken them down. Here? Those same mechanics gain common sense and refuse a suicide mission like that.

19. Martial Law. I'm not surprised. It was coming sooner or later.

20. Oh yeah, the fact that you didn't know who was going to live in this episode was great. This show is like the Buffy/Angel universe well anyone is expendable outside of the core characters. Chief, Seelix, Callie, Crashdown. I wouldn't have been surprised to see anyone of them die. That's great. It keeps you tense. It keeps you guessing. And it makes for great television.

Grade
A-
This episode was better to me than last week's. However ( (c) Stephen A. Smith ), there was NO Helo, Starbuck, Caprica Boomer or Galactica Boomer! Awww man. I wanted to know what was up with her stealing the ship. I guess technically it would be repossession since it belonged to the Cylons in the first place. Hopefully next week's episode of "Three's Company" won't be preempted. But I digress. Why do people continue to sleep on this show. It's got action, suspense, drama, and for the snobs: theological and philosphical discussions.
