“Don’t you see? Our children represent everything that the humans hate. With the resurrection gone, the thought that the Cylon race could survive through natural procreation… terrifies them.”
- Caprica Six, to Sharon “Athena” Agathon and Samuel. T Anders
I hope everyone was able to tune in to last Friday’s episode of Sci Fi’s space drama, Battlestar Galactica, on which Tricia stars as humanoid Cylon Number Six. Here’s our recap of episode 4.13 “The Oath”, please highlight to read:
Under the guise of a fire on the Galactica, Felix Gaeta and Vice President Tom Zarek, whose escape from prison Gaeta has secretly organized, begin executing their plan to take over the control of the fleet. An uprising breaks aboard the Galactica, and Admiral Adama and Saul Tigh are relieved of their posts by the mutinous Gaeta, for whom Adama vows a dishonorable death. The mutinous crew of the Galactica try to round up all Cylons onboard into the brig, but Saul Tigh as the only Cylon manages to escape with the help of Adama, aside from Galen Tyrol, who was never caught. Meanwhile, Lee Adama is barely saved from death by the sudden appearance of Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, and Lee, the Admiral, President Laura Roslin, Starbuck, Tigh, Tyrol and Dr. Gaius Baltar eventually all make it to the forgotten secondary storage airlock, where Baltar gets in touch with Gaeta and reminds him of their secret dating back to New Caprica. A visibly distraught Gaeta abruptly hangs up on him. Baltar and Roslin make an escape with a Raptor piloted by an Eight, and head for the Rebel Cylon Basestar, which Gaeta is willing to prevent by any means necessary. While Tyrol leads Starbuck and Lee to safety, Tigh and the Admiral stay behind to confront the marines heading their way in a last stand, in which Adama pronounces what an honor it has been to serve alongside his friend, Tigh. The episode ends in a flash grenade being thrown into the storage airlock.
What an awesome episode! This is the Battlestar Galactica I used to know and love, and personally, “The Oath” was probably the best episode of Season 4 yet! Unfortunately for us Tricia fans, Six once again only had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it stint in the episode, and despite spoiler website reports, Baltar’s Virtual Six did not appear in the episode. Darn it! Check out the medium-res screen captures of her appearance on the show at our gallery. As always, HD replacement captures will be added as soon as possible!
Don’t forget to tune in again next Friday, February 6 2009 for episode 4.14 “Blood on the Scales”, which airs at 10/9c on Sci Fi. As always, we’ll do our best to cover it!
