The Road Less Traveled

For your, and my, enjoyment...

I have embedded the newest episode of Battlestar Galactica. Do not continue to read below the video unless you have seen the episode, or if you wish to have the episode spoiled.

Battlestar Galactica
Season Four
Espisode: The Road Less Traveled


Attention: Spoiler Alert

Now, I'm not going to go into as much detail as I have concerning other episodes of BSG, but I do have a couple of things to point out.

1. We can see how Kara has been affected by the solitude and how she is very jumpy and jittery. This coupled with the cylon Leoben telling her she is not the same person leads me to believe that maybe she isn't the same person. Maybe she is a clone of the real Kara Thrace who has been programmed to be the "harbenger of death for the human race"

2. When the hybrids say that "kara thrace is the harbenger of death" that is not to say that she won't bring the humans to earth, or that she will point them in the right direction. However, it is to say that no matter what she does, even if she brings humanity to earth, it will bring death to all humans.

3. Chief, well former Chief, Tryol shook Baltar's hand. However, this does not mean that he follows Baltar's new religon. It means to me that Tryol is choosing to be the man he wants to be. He showed the audience that being a cylon has not changed who he is as a person. He understands that Chief Tyrol is a forgiving man if forgivness is deserved and so, he isn't allowing his cylon nature to affect how he identifies himself or how he acts.

4. Cylons are tough. Remember how Tory hit Cally and knocked her back into the air? Well, if a female cylon can do that then think of what a big male cylon like Tyrol could have done to Baltar. He had him in his hand choking him. He could have used his cylon strength to pop his little head off, but he didn't. If you watch the footage again you can see how he just lets go and walks away, as if the people touching him had no affect. Cylons are tough motha frakers


Hope you enjoy the episode, and thanks for tuning in...
