Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The aftermath of a coup among the Cylons leads to further violence, Lee finds himself facing off against Roslin during his first meeting with the Quorum of Twelve as the new representative of Caprica, and Cally discovers the horrible truth about her husband Galen Tyrol. Meanwhile, Starbuck aimlessly searches for Earth with Anders and other Galactica officers.
Our Take
A heavy, grim hour that mostly pays off. Cally’s storyline lands with a real gut punch, and the Cylon civil war gives the season some forward momentum. The Quorum stuff with Lee drags a bit and feels like table-setting for later. Starbuck’s search is atmospheric but thin so far. Worth your time, though don’t expect any light moments here.
