"Battlestar Galactica": The Saddest Episode Ever!

Did you have your tissues handy? OMG, this was so frakkin' sad! Poor Caprica, who's wanted a child since the dang series began (or some version of her anyway), finally gets pregnant--and then the poor baby dies while still in the womb all while Tigh is declaring his undying love!

Tragic!

And it seems like it was all due to Ellen's presence since Caprica's problems started when she stepped onto "Galactica." Or maybe it had something to do with Anders being in a coma? Or maybe it was because Caprica had to put the smack down on those bigots in the food line? Who the frak knows--with BSG, there's always so many connections and hints and winks. 'Course, I'm putting my money on some bad mojo from little Hera--she wants her spot back as Promised Child of the Cylon Race, don't ya know.

Best line? Tigh saying, "Grandpa was a power sander!"

And hooray, the Six in Gaius' head is back! Dunno if it's the writing on these characters or the chemistry between the actors, but whenever these 2 get together, BSG is magically funny and diabolical all at once.

I thought this episode was great but, really, are we supposed to believe these conflicted, juvenile, petty Final 5 Cylons are the salvation of anyone or anything? It was all so ... well, Television Without Pity compares it to "Gossip Girl" (which I don't watch), and here's a link to the funny.

And is it true there are only 4 episodes left? I need a drink!
