#18 - BSG Season 4 Episode 16

Spoilers ahead!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, just as promised, Ellen is back with the fleet. No sooner does she get alone with Tigh then she beds him. Only after that is when she finds out Caprica Six is preggers with Tigh's baby!! Ellen was pissed!! So pissed in fact, that she decides to sabotage the birth, and she does; Caprica Six's baby died.

Before that though, the final/first 5 were deciding whether to create a "Cylon family" - escape from the humans. Ellen is the deciding vote - Chief and Tory want to go, Anders had expressed his wish to stay, and Tigh wants to stay. Tigh says that pure Cylon or pure human doesn't work - we've tried it and fraked it up.

Meanwhile, Baltar is back with his harem, and tries to do the brotherly thing and distribute food to the poor, only to have the food stolen. He convinces Adama to give his gals some guns. A bit of foreshadowing I'm sure, is that the one gal who was opposed to sharing the food, looks at her gun then him.

At the end, we see that the Cylons who have died since joining the fleet have been memorialized on the lost souls walls. It was touching to see them acting as humans; I think even President Roslin is warming up to them. And Anders seems to start having brain activity again; that should be a nice plot twist for the next episode!

This episode was one of the worst of the season; it's one that I won't be rewatching. It was very Soap Opera-like, and just a touch boring. Hopefully the action willl pick up again next week.
