Overview
- After four months on being on Cylon-occupied Nu Craprica, a whiny bunch of frakers want to go home now. And they don't care who they have to hurt to get their way, turning the place into a glorified Iraq.[1] The Cylons, on the other hand, have the bright idea of taking out and smacking the little brats on their asses. To make matters worse, a whining bastard goes emo and blows up a graduation ceremony because no one understands him. In the Fleet, the Adamas eat nuts: Lee eats them by the handful, while William rips them right off Lee and tells him to "do his yob".
Summary
Notes
Analysis
- From his visually-confirmed body mass index, and given Anastasia Dualla's health, we can logically assume that Fat Lee was never on top.
Questions
- Did the Cavil that received a good frakking from Ellen Tigh die and get resurrected? He seemed to have problems breathing there...
- Does Cavil kiss and tell?
- Where/How did the Nu Crapricans obtain steak?
Official Statements
Noteworthy Dialogue
- During a meeting about the insurgency:
- First Cavil: Let's review why we're here, shall we? We're supposed to bring the word of "God" to the people, right?
- Second Cavil: To save humanity from damnation by bringing the love of "God" to these poor benighted people.
- Caprica-Six: We're here because the majority of the Cylon felt the slaughter of mankind had been a mistake.
- Boomer: We're here to find a new way to live in peace, as God wants us to live!
- Second Cavil: And it's been a fun ride, so far. But I want to clarify our objectives. If we're bringing the word of "God," then it follows we should employ any means necessary to so, any means.
- First Cavil: Yes. Fear is a key article of faith, as I understand it. So, perhaps it's time to instill a little more fear into the people's hearts and minds. Crank up the rack, stoke up the bonfires, and let's get down to it!
- Later in that same meeting:
- Caprica-Six: The entire point of coming here was to start a new way of life, to push past the conflict that separated us from humans for so long.
- Cavil: And what has it gotten us? It's not like they welcomed us with, with... Oh, frak it, never mind. You're all living in a fantasy world. Consider the irony in that! (laughing) Delusional machines! What's the universe gonna come up with next? Windows Vista?
