Battlestar Galactica 4x10: "Sine Qua Non"

This episode airs today in the US, but it was already on this week in the UK because they didn't have a Memorial Weekend break... so guess what that means? I watched it yesterday. And it was really great. Again with the actual progression of events. I was pretty happy.

This is a momentous episode. Here's a short list of stuff that goes down:
1. Adama steps down as Admiral and promotes Tigh.
2. Caprica Six is pregnant with Tigh's baby.
3. Lee becomes president.

Huh. Yeah. All pretty pivotal.

Thoughts:
1. Adama, when everything goes badly and you find out Tigh's a cylon, don't ever say Tigh didn't tell you so, because he totally did. He said, "this is a bad idea." He said, "the last time I was in charge, it was a disaster." He said those things, and you should have listened. I understand why you did it though. When Laura disappeared, so did your objectivity. I don't have a better idea. I really loved when you said, "I can't live without her." Both of you are being frustrating this season but I really just want you two to get married. You practically are already.

2. Okay, WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all, this is just gross. I think I get it, that Tigh was sleeping with her because he imagines that she looks like Ellen. But seriously, ICK. And second of all how is that even possible? They're both cylons. I thought the baby farms on Caprica were because cylons couldn't make babies with each other. Maybe it's because he's one of the Final Five, and that makes him special? I know the seven cylons were always going on about how it's one of God's commandments to procreate... maybe they got that idea from the Final Five before they were programmed to forget about them. Maybe it used to be possible, but something happened and the Final Five had to disappear, and so the seven cylons were left with this desire to proliferate the species without any means of doing so. Well, it's a theory at least. I still think Tigh is gross.

3. Yeah, like no one saw that coming. What else could be the motivation behind Lee becoming a member of the Quorum? Delegate Lee is boring. President Lee is clearly not. (By the way, Lee, just a note, but your red shirt was unspeakably hot and could you please wear it more often. I'm sick of the suit.) Lee, you are so much more interesting when you're giving passionate speeches. If you were real, and you ran for president here, I'd vote for you.

How awesome is Romo Lampkin? I love him even when he's crazy. Keeping a dead cat in a bag? Gross, dude. And talking to it like it was still alive...? Head Six, Head Gaius, and now Head Cat. I really loved the look on his face at the end when Lee gave him the dog from New Caprica. Kind of eying him warily.

Kara was great in this episode. She was in like two scenes but she was TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY NORMAL. I was so impressed.

One little gripe: do Lee and Kara even know each other's names anymore. I mean seriously. They were standing right next to each other when Adama, a.k.a. Husker (okay so I loved when he was in the ship at the end and was calling himself Husker, I don't know why) and they didn't even look at each other. I guess they couldn't have just started making out right then and there - he is the president after all - but come on. Give me something.
