“Look at that, Saul. You know what that is, really? That’s the future of the entire Cylon race.”
- Caprica Six, on her and Tigh’s unborn Cylon child
Hopefully everyone was able to tune in to last night’s episode of Sci Fi’s Battlestar Galactica, on which Tricia Helfer stars as humanoid Cylon Number Six. As always, here’s our episode recap, please highlight to read:
As Number Six and Saul Tigh get a first look at their unborn Cylon/Cylon child, the first of its kind, the permanently crippled Felix Gaeta becomes increasingly frustrated with the Cylon presence, and becomes a key element in Vice President Tom Zarek’s anti-Cylon movement. Zarek, dead against a proposed alliance with the Rebel Cylons, convinces The Quorum the Adama-Roslin administration is ineffective and a decision is made not to allow any Cylon board a ship without permission, just as the Cylons are beginning to make demands to be included in the fleet. A tylium ship mutinies and jumps away in protest of the pro-Cylon administration at the encouragement of Zarek, who is then arrested by Admiral Adama. Meanwhile, President Laura Roslin finally loses faith and refuses to undergo any more cancer treatments, much to the dismay of Admiral Adama, while Lee Adama inadvertently lets it slip to the press the Fifth Cylon is a she, implying that Saul Tigh has passed on the information of his wife Ellen Tigh being the fifth to the Adamas. Galen Tyrol rushes his son Nicholas to the hospital, and Doc Cottle is forced to reveal to him he is not the father. As Gaius Baltar delivers a hefty speech to his audience about how God has unjustly punished his children with the discovery of the inhabitable Earth, an upraw breaks among the listeners, and Baltar coolly watches as Tyrol and Hot Dog battle it out, when Hot Dog reveals to Tyrol that he is in fact the father of Cally’s child.
I hope everyone watched this week’s episode from start to finish, as the end sequence was particularly beautiful, I thought. Once again, however, Tricia got regrettably little onscreen time as Six, and is only seen in one of the episode’s opening scenes. Check out our 55 medium-res screen captures of her appearance at the gallery; as always, HD replacement captures will be added as soon as possible.
Don’t forget to tune in again next Friday, January 30 2009 to Battlestar Galactica episode 4.13 “The Oath”, which airs at 10/9c on Sci Fi. Check out the episode trailer on YouTube! Also, for our spoiler-friendly visitors, io9 has some tidbits on the upcoming episode, among other things promising a reappearance by Baltar’s Virtual Six! At last, y’all!
