A GAUIS-CENTRIC EPISODE! Done in a way I didn’t know I needed that raised more questions than it answered. Engaging, and suspenseful with some great laughs along the way!

P.S. Grant, Ryan— if you wanted to connect BSG to the Apple via 4 degrees of separation, this feels like the appropriate episode lol.

P.P.S Thanks charity for the snack suggestion!

*I watched this episode on Blu-ray. The show is also available on digital retailers, peacock, and alternative means.

Chris - the blue Sour Patch Kids are my favorite too, and the lemon are my least-favorite! Clearly we are TV-snack buddies.

"I didn't see this coming!" - yeah, neither did Baltar! Fun visual storytelling choice I like about this episode: Doc Cottle and Doctor Baltar are both seen smoking in this episode. Baltar's more "European"-looking cigarette signals anything from "sophisticated" to "elitist snobbery" to an American audience, while Cottle smokes a plain old any-brand "'merican" cigarette. While obviously the Colonies didn't have a "Britain" or "America," Moore chose to let James Callis keep his British accent as Baltar (fellow Brit Jamie Bamber puts on an American accent), which immediately sets him apart from the rest of the characters. Plus we have gruff, plain-spoken "Doc" Cottle set as a name foil against the more formal "Doctor" Baltar. All of this, paired with Callis's charismatic performance, put the audience in a weird position of enjoying, but perhaps not trusting, Baltar. Side by side with his religious conversion (or is it?), it's little details like this that enrich the storytelling without being actions or dialog. I love stuff like that.

Gaius' conversion is one of my favorite moments in the show. Whether it seems to us concerning or thought provoking is like many conversions from an outside perspective. It felt realistic to me and mirrored many experiences and conversations I've had with God myself. Speaking in prayers but receiving answers in inner realizations and coincidences too strange to accept as such. The gradual change from promising vague things about doing good, to specific things about recognizing God and serving Him, to just asking for forgiveness. Down deep he knows he needs it. That writing was so excellent. His acting was perfect I thought, as well.

Completely agreed! It's also very interesting to think about this scene now, in comparison to a prayer I recently saw in early season 4. He's had such an interesting journey.
