I’ve heard this, but don’t know if its a rumor or not.

What I heard is this: Sci-Fi is going to air the complete 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica, with a possible month-long December or January break, intact. No five-month hiatus between season halves.

Anyone know anything for sure?

Jammer! We hardly knew-ya. Memory serves, you were introduced in “Litmus”, nearly got frakked by Centurions in “Scattered”, were the first tech-monkey to help Tyrol build Blackbird in “Final Cut”. And now you got yourself blown out a viper launch tube. Good job, traitor.

Executing collaborators wasn’t what Anders thought he was signing up for? What did he think he was signing on for? The ex-insurgent glee club?!

I was confused for a moment — how did Baltar get onto the fleet? Ooooh, sexy Mary McDonnell! Oh, yes, he’s on a Basestar. That makes much more sense. And he’s naked. Ew. Thankfully, this isn’t HBO so no full-frontal nudity. Very strange interiors, Basestars. He’s got a psychologist’s couch in his … cell? … well, he can use one. For a second, I thought that eye-moving noise would reveal itself to be coming from a classic-series Cylon.

Lot of people packed aboard Galactica. I’m guessing Adama’s too kind-hearted to kick off non-military spouses and children of his crew. Tight fucking quarters, looks like.

ZAREK IS THE PRESIDENT! YAY! They didn’t forget to mention this plot point! Zarek is going to get Roslin back in the Presidency by nominating her as his vice-president and then resign. Adama’s made his displeasure known with a Zarek presidency known, but he will be rewarded: Vice-President Tom Zarek. Neat!

CIC is looking a little ragged. Oooh, Tigh’s pissed at Gaeta. Really pissed. And he seems to think he’s got the right to do pretty much whatever he wants - Adama’s not so content with his attitude. Looks like I was right about something, though — Commander rank or not, Lee Adama is not XO. (I’m still betting he’ll be CAG). Helo’s, what, “Deck Officer”? Looks like he got Gaeta’s old post.

“The Circle” is very - not my term, heard this from someone else - “Star Chamber.” Tigh’s very clear: “This is about justice!” (Shouldn’t the votee have a shot at a defense, then?). Oh, voting on Lt. Felix Gaeta. Hmm. Wonder how this is going to go. “Collaborating”, and “crimes against humanity.” I might’ve been right about him too - you’ll remember I’m pretty sure that Mr. Gaeta is going to wind up deceased, although I thought he would buy it last episode. Looks like he’ll be a “viper-tube drifter.”

Time-table? Until the civilians aboard Galactica are sent off to other ships? They’ve gotta get the collaborators now, before they lose their opportunity to act with near impunity (what with having the XO on their side).

“Enough alone”, Gaeta being on Baltar’s Chief of Staff. No specific evidence. Baltar Public Face … Gaeta the Brains. Tigh’s got something against Gaeta. Something deeper.

“I’m alive. I suppose that’s something.” Baltar, you’re a cool character and all, but I can’t wait until you get a thirty-eight special in the noggin’. Understatement of the DECADE: “I’m slightly confused.” No shit doc. Great self-diagnosis.

Three days since Exodus II. Thousands left behind.

Nevermind about my timetable thought. Three on Galactica, ten on other ships. Lee has a date with a jump-rope. Dropped half-a-stone. Stone is a British measurement, isn’t it? Thank you Patrick O’Brien for knowing that! How much is ‘a stone’?

I can’t quite tell if Starbuck … oh, nevermind, she’s pissed at him. “To help from the inside.” “You let the Cylons walk all over us!” Gaeta lets slip about the inside-information. No one seems impressed. Poor Gaeta. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT CHICK’S NAME?! The member of the circle — short black hair? She was stranded on Kobol with Tyrol, Baltar and Cally during “Kobol’s Last Gleaming.” Fudge. (I mean, “Frak!”)

Looks like the Honeymoon between Baltar and the Sixes is finally starting to come to an end — what’s that saying about hell having no fury like a scorned woman? Amend that: like a scorned Cylon? Here’s a Q: if you cheat on a Six with a Six, does it count as cheating?

Starbuck wasn’t in on the Circle from the get-go? It is legal?

Tigh liked Ellen more than Gaeta. But, they were both collaborators and Gaeta never slept around on him!

Starbuck and Anders are breaking up. “And I look at you … and I want to tear your eyes out.” Bitch.

“Fine. Guilty.” Tyrol doesn’t sound convinced. Why don’t Starbuck and short-haired bitch not remark on what Gaeta said? That he’s the source of their inside information? He collaborated to help frak Cylons! Surely THAT is worth a pardon, yes?

(I bet they’re doing the Star Chamber shit and executions on the hanger-bays underneath the museum-landing-deck. It’d be abandoned, wouldn’t it? Wonder if they’re ever going to get that open for use again, now that they’ve got two Battlestar’s worth of Vipers to fly).

Duly authorized by the President of the Colonies? Are they perverting one of Baltar’s during-occupation orders, or did Zarek want some hurtin’ to go on before he got demoted to Vice-President?

Tyrol! YAY! Yeah, stupid Star Chamber bitches — without Gaeta, you’d all be living under the boots of the Cylons still. “I did what I could.” Starbuck looks pissed. Tigh disappointed. Better hope Gaeta doesn’t talk — he knows all your secrets.

Zarek DID do it. Shit. “Your presidency is a farce.” He’s a ruthless bastard. That’s the time-table they were talking about earlier — when he’s out of office, they’d have to stop. Hmm. Wonder if Zarek and Roslin went before the Council yet, because if not, she should tread carefully or he could not nominate her as VP and …

… oh, wait, she’s being sworn back in. Isn’t that the same guy who swore Baltar in? Off-track: Roslin = President, again! She’s thanking everyone for trusting her again? Yeah, but was she voted in again? No, it’s a legal loop hole, isn’t it? Zarek’s actions push Laura against what she was going to do — “forming a commission on truth and … something.” No prosecutions. General pardon for every human in the fleet … oh, Baltar doesn’t get forgiven, and Gaeta’s putting a uniform back on. Reconcilliation. That was it. Coo’.

Still wondering what Lee’s job is.

Gaeta’s still eating alone. Wait, Tyrol’s eating with him. I’m confused, is this an officers’ mess or an anybodys’ mess? Bah.

NEXT WEEK’S EPISODE:

(Isn’t it amazing how fast a week goes? That’d be a “yes”, BTW).

Road to Earth! Baltar taking the Cylons to Earth? “Earth is going to be our new home.” Is Baltar a Cylon? I’m guessing … no. Too obvious.
