Moore-Scripted GALACTICA 1.7 Makes The Britons All Kindsa Giddy!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Much excitement in the U.K. over the seventh installment of “Battlestar Galactica,” teleplay by revamp mastermind Ronald D. Moore. We have three reviewers this week, who give it five, four and a half, and three stars, respectively.
As I always point out at this juncture, SciFi doesn’t bring it to America until Jan. 14, which means we won’t see it until “Alias” and “24” have already relaunched. Still, I love that we can look forward to two Boomers. Because new Boomer is about 70,000 times hotter than old Boomer. I hearby rename January FunJanuary!
We begin with the “Dark Avenger”:
Battlestar Galactica 1.7 FAQ
What’s it called?
"Six Degrees of Separation". A terrifically entertaining, five-star,
Ronald Moore penned, escalating battle of wills between Balter and Number Six - with religious overtones.....
What does TV Guide say?
"Baltar's baffled when Number Six appears on the ship, posing as someone else. He's even more distressed when she accuses him of being the traitor."
What do we learn?
Number Six may or may not be a clone of a woman named Shelly Godfrey (who just happens to be carrying security camera footage of a man who looks suspiciously like our good Doctor hauling a bomb around the place, one day prior to the Cylon attack). Tyrol is still trying to keep his distance from Boomer. The President has been tripling her medication to negative effect.
Is Starbuck back on the duty roster yet?
Her slow recovery continues, although she's still the only one who can work the Cylon ship. There's a great scene where Apollo and then later Col. Tigh try and motivate her into getting her ass out of bed (guess who's the more persuasive?).
The good?
The humour! Given that there has been very few light-hearted moments in the series to date, it's a pleasant surprise to witness how comfortably it plays out here. Baltar's bathroom conversational techniques, Tyrol trying to figure out how the salvaged Cylon ship works, Col. Tigh's pissy reaction to Baltar pretending that he can't see Shelley Godfrey (aka Number Six). And, of course, the immortal line - "No more Mr. Nice Gaius!"
The bad?
It's only a minor nitpick (and probably a biased one since I've been such a big fan of Baltar since the mini-series) but some of the crew, the President in particular (uber-bitch!), are a little too quick to want to lock-up the Doc and throw away the key.
How does it end?
Baltar and Number Six get busy. Oh yeah!

Battlestar Galactica 1.7 FAQ
What’s it called?
"Six Degrees of Separation"
How does it begin?
Six and Baltar are having another metaphysical and theological
conversation about God, when Six decides to leave Baltar alone in his
mind... Then Miss Godfrey arrives on Galactica, who just happens to
look just like Six, accusing Baltar of his conspiring to let the Cylons
get through the human defenses.
So another episode of accusations and paranoia?
Oh yes, but it is done far better than last week's "witch-hunt"
episode. Baltar has supposedly been captured on film bombing the human
defense net computer back on Caprica, but the image isn't clear and so
begins the Alias/24 gimmick of clarifying pictures to prove blame. But
who is Miss Godfrey? She seems human, or does she not realize she's a
Cylon? Can Baltar clear his name?
So what else is going on then?
Starbuck makes a welcome reappearance, struggling onto crutches in a
nice carry over of injuries from two weeks ago, helping Tyrell fathom
out the workings of that captured Cylon Raider. Boomer gets strangely
fawny over it. Meanwhile, Helo and Boomer v2 are still fleeing the
Cylons on Caprica, and things between them get down and dirty.
What happens?
Not too much, but the character building is excellent, and Baltar is
just so damn funny! Trying to convince Geta that he's innocent while
on the toilet, with the "no more Mr-Nice-Gaius" punchline being
hilarious.
What's Good?
Baltar is fantastic, Six is suitably slinky and as Miss Godfrey she
tries to manipulate Adama with her feminine ways. Adama is just genius
again, and it call ends coming full circle with theology and plotting.
What's Bad?
From the "This week on Battlestar Galactica" title sequence, I got
the
feeling that the raunch between a certain couple of stranded characters
may have been cut a little by Sky, after all, it's before the 9pm
watershed. Other than that, it was excellent!
How does it end?
Six returns to Baltar's mind, and Boomer gets a message on the inside of her locker.

Battlestar Galactica 1.7 FAQ
What does Sky One say about this episode?
“Baltar is dumbfounded when Number Six appears on the ship and accuses him of being the traitor”
Number Six?
The name of the hot Cylon babe, apparently. It would seem that BSG’s producers are fans of The Prisoner...
How does she appear?
She turns up posing as an assistant to another defence scientist who died in Episode 1.1 – she claims the scientist had info showing Baltar is a traitor.
What kind of info?
She produces a disc (an octagonal one, like everything else in this show) of CCTV footage from the Defence Computer showing someone very Baltar-like planting a bomb. Later on, a weepy Number Six puts some moves on a wary Adama.
What else is happening?
A lot. The Chief is trying to figure out the insides of the Cylon Raider Starbuck captured. Starbuck herself is undergoing rehabilitative therapy for her busted knee (with much cajoling from Apollo). The President has a health scare. There’s even some wet boomer action on Cyclon-Occupied Caprica.
How is Boomer doing?
Which one? BSG Boomer or Caprica Boomer?
Both.
BSG Boomer seems a little down about her break-up with the Chief but she offers some arousing insights into how the Cylon Raider might operate. Later on she gets a nasty locker-room message.
And Caprica Boomer?
Caprica Boomer is a little minx.
How so?
Let's just say she's got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils...
What’s good?
Number Six. Gaius. The fleeting Boomer action. Also, it looks like the producers are slowly trying to bring the funny, and they manage tolerably well - especially the bathroom scene (“You forgot to wash your hands!”, “No more Mr Nice Gaius!”).
What’s bad?
The resolution is frustratingly incomplete. The lack of Boomer screen time. Also, how come nobody gives any serious thought to Gaius’s claim that the disc has been doctored? The BSG universe has Vipers and Cylons but apparently nobody’s heard of photoshop...
How does it end?
Baltar, who had previously sworn to devote his life to God's work if he is spared execution, decides to put off his salvation a little longer...

What’s it called?
"Six Degrees of Separation"
How does it begin?
Six and Baltar are having another metaphysical and theological
conversation about God, when Six decides to leave Baltar alone in his
mind... Then Miss Godfrey arrives on Galactica, who just happens to
look just like Six, accusing Baltar of his conspiring to let the Cylons
get through the human defenses.
So another episode of accusations and paranoia?
Oh yes, but it is done far better than last week's "witch-hunt"
episode. Baltar has supposedly been captured on film bombing the human
defense net computer back on Caprica, but the image isn't clear and so
begins the Alias/24 gimmick of clarifying pictures to prove blame. But
who is Miss Godfrey? She seems human, or does she not realize she's a
Cylon? Can Baltar clear his name?
So what else is going on then?
Starbuck makes a welcome reappearance, struggling onto crutches in a
nice carry over of injuries from two weeks ago, helping Tyrell fathom
out the workings of that captured Cylon Raider. Boomer gets strangely
fawny over it. Meanwhile, Helo and Boomer v2 are still fleeing the
Cylons on Caprica, and things between them get down and dirty.
What happens?
Not too much, but the character building is excellent, and Baltar is
just so damn funny! Trying to convince Geta that he's innocent while
on the toilet, with the "no more Mr-Nice-Gaius" punchline being
hilarious.
What's Good?
Baltar is fantastic, Six is suitably slinky and as Miss Godfrey she
tries to manipulate Adama with her feminine ways. Adama is just genius
again, and it call ends coming full circle with theology and plotting.
What's Bad?
From the "This week on Battlestar Galactica" title sequence, I got
the
feeling that the raunch between a certain couple of stranded characters
may have been cut a little by Sky, after all, it's before the 9pm
watershed. Other than that, it was excellent!
How does it end?
Six returns to Baltar's mind, and Boomer gets a message on the inside of her locker.

Battlestar Galactica 1.7 FAQ
What does Sky One say about this episode?
“Baltar is dumbfounded when Number Six appears on the ship and accuses him of being the traitor”
Number Six?
The name of the hot Cylon babe, apparently. It would seem that BSG’s producers are fans of The Prisoner...
How does she appear?
She turns up posing as an assistant to another defence scientist who died in Episode 1.1 – she claims the scientist had info showing Baltar is a traitor.
What kind of info?
She produces a disc (an octagonal one, like everything else in this show) of CCTV footage from the Defence Computer showing someone very Baltar-like planting a bomb. Later on, a weepy Number Six puts some moves on a wary Adama.
What else is happening?
A lot. The Chief is trying to figure out the insides of the Cylon Raider Starbuck captured. Starbuck herself is undergoing rehabilitative therapy for her busted knee (with much cajoling from Apollo). The President has a health scare. There’s even some wet boomer action on Cyclon-Occupied Caprica.
How is Boomer doing?
Which one? BSG Boomer or Caprica Boomer?
Both.
BSG Boomer seems a little down about her break-up with the Chief but she offers some arousing insights into how the Cylon Raider might operate. Later on she gets a nasty locker-room message.
And Caprica Boomer?
Caprica Boomer is a little minx.
How so?
Let's just say she's got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils...
What’s good?
Number Six. Gaius. The fleeting Boomer action. Also, it looks like the producers are slowly trying to bring the funny, and they manage tolerably well - especially the bathroom scene (“You forgot to wash your hands!”, “No more Mr Nice Gaius!”).
What’s bad?
The resolution is frustratingly incomplete. The lack of Boomer screen time. Also, how come nobody gives any serious thought to Gaius’s claim that the disc has been doctored? The BSG universe has Vipers and Cylons but apparently nobody’s heard of photoshop...
How does it end?
Baltar, who had previously sworn to devote his life to God's work if he is spared execution, decides to put off his salvation a little longer...

It's only a minor nitpick (and probably a biased one since I've been such a big fan of Baltar since the mini-series) but some of the crew, the President in particular (uber-bitch!), are a little too quick to want to lock-up the Doc and throw away the key.
How does it end?
Baltar and Number Six get busy. Oh yeah!

Battlestar Galactica 1.7 FAQ
What’s it called?
"Six Degrees of Separation"
How does it begin?
Six and Baltar are having another metaphysical and theological
conversation about God, when Six decides to leave Baltar alone in his
mind... Then Miss Godfrey arrives on Galactica, who just happens to
look just like Six, accusing Baltar of his conspiring to let the Cylons
get through the human defenses.
So another episode of accusations and paranoia?
Oh yes, but it is done far better than last week's "witch-hunt"
episode. Baltar has supposedly been captured on film bombing the human
defense net computer back on Caprica, but the image isn't clear and so
begins the Alias/24 gimmick of clarifying pictures to prove blame. But
who is Miss Godfrey? She seems human, or does she not realize she's a
Cylon? Can Baltar clear his name?
So what else is going on then?
Starbuck makes a welcome reappearance, struggling onto crutches in a
nice carry over of injuries from two weeks ago, helping Tyrell fathom
out the workings of that captured Cylon Raider. Boomer gets strangely
fawny over it. Meanwhile, Helo and Boomer v2 are still fleeing the
Cylons on Caprica, and things between them get down and dirty.
What happens?
Not too much, but the character building is excellent, and Baltar is
just so damn funny! Trying to convince Geta that he's innocent while
on the toilet, with the "no more Mr-Nice-Gaius" punchline being
hilarious.

She produces a disc (an octagonal one, like everything else in this show) of CCTV footage from the Defence Computer showing someone very Baltar-like planting a bomb. Later on, a weepy Number Six puts some moves on a wary Adama.
What else is happening?
A lot. The Chief is trying to figure out the insides of the Cylon Raider Starbuck captured. Starbuck herself is undergoing rehabilitative therapy for her busted knee (with much cajoling from Apollo). The President has a health scare. There’s even some wet boomer action on Cyclon-Occupied Caprica.
How is Boomer doing?
Which one? BSG Boomer or Caprica Boomer?
Both.
BSG Boomer seems a little down about her break-up with the Chief but she offers some arousing insights into how the Cylon Raider might operate. Later on she gets a nasty locker-room message.
And Caprica Boomer?
Caprica Boomer is a little minx.
How so?
Let's just say she's got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils...
What’s good?
Number Six. Gaius. The fleeting Boomer action. Also, it looks like the producers are slowly trying to bring the funny, and they manage tolerably well - especially the bathroom scene (“You forgot to wash your hands!”, “No more Mr Nice Gaius!”).
What’s bad?
The resolution is frustratingly incomplete. The lack of Boomer screen time. Also, how come nobody gives any serious thought to Gaius’s claim that the disc has been doctored? The BSG universe has Vipers and Cylons but apparently nobody’s heard of photoshop...
How does it end?
Baltar, who had previously sworn to devote his life to God's work if he is spared execution, decides to put off his salvation a little longer...

Baltar is fantastic, Six is suitably slinky and as Miss Godfrey she
tries to manipulate Adama with her feminine ways. Adama is just genius
again, and it call ends coming full circle with theology and plotting.
What's Bad?
From the "This week on Battlestar Galactica" title sequence, I got
the
feeling that the raunch between a certain couple of stranded characters
may have been cut a little by Sky, after all, it's before the 9pm
watershed. Other than that, it was excellent!
How does it end?
Six returns to Baltar's mind, and Boomer gets a message on the inside of her locker.

Battlestar Galactica...better than the Sci-fi channel deserves..
by anlashok
You chumps don't deserve this show after what you did to Farscape, which is why Bitcomet will be cooking tonight. When I said I was leaving you bastards, I meant it! Of course that might actually be a threat, if I had a fucking Nielsen box!
-
Good for them. They seem to be making it work beyond anyone's expectations. .... Now if they can just get Dirk Benedict into the fold as Starbuck's long lost father....
-
Why did he leave Carnivale for the frelling SCI FI CHANNEL???
-
If humanity has practically been wiped out how come each week the president has a press conference with a huge number of baying journalists? If there are only x thousand humans left how they sustain such a large media industry. Just a minor detail but still looks ridiculous.
-
Don't forget the reason the Galactica is still around at all is that it was on its way to a decommissioning ceremony. Accompanied by a shedload of journalists. Just their bad luck I suppose! (Oh if only they
-
I suspect rather than them being journalists for a 'newspaper' or tv network, they are simply selected representatives from each of the ships in the convoy of vessels about Galactica. To me it makes sense that each ship would elect a person to relay all these 'announcements' back to their respective ships. It would also make sense for those 'journalists' to travel to the president's ship for each announcement so they could ask questions, voice concerns and challenge decisions made by the president in person. Whatever the reason when I see them I dont suddenly think 'Oh god that looks ridiculous'. I suspect youre a nitpicking.
-
I LOVED IT (like all the others before it)!!! As the reviewers have said, its the funniest of the episodes so far. Baltar is hillarious,
-
goddamm if this isn't the best sci-fi since TNG....
-
I have a feeling the whole thing was in gaius' head. thinking about it, the way they zoomed in at the beginning and end and the way that number 6 just disappeared. it could have been a manifestation brought on by gaius' guilt over his involvement in the cylon attack. the way they all changed their mind about him as well. some thinking he was guilty straight away and then exonerating him almost as easily. maybe it wasnt all in his head but it was a great friggin episode!!
-
The scene in the Control Room was simply hilarious as he gradually realised Miss Godfrey wasn't a figment of his imagination.
As the President said in an earlier epi - he is an odd little person! -
and that's Alan.
-
I can't belive how consitantly great this show is, this eposide was the first of the bunch that acutally made me laugh out loud. The only complaint about BSG that I had was that it seemed to take itself too seriously at some points, this episode made the entire series feel more real. I like the characters so much more after this epsisode. Baltar, Starbuck, Tigh, Tyrall all are such great characters. Adama, Apollo and Presidant Rosalyn are all real characters who need more depth and its slowly comming.

dont you?

Is there a website for the series yet? I can't find it on Yahoo
by russman
-
One on Galactica, one on Caprica and probably more elsewhere.
There are quite a few websites as well - http://www.galactica2003.net/cast/series.shtml and one via SciFi.com to name 2. Google is a much better serch engine. -
Thanks, but where is the site where they have the show schedule as well as the episode synopsis for aired episodes... sort of like how Farscape had one, Smallville and SG1, etc... Does it not exist yet because the show hasn't aired in the US yet thus proving that the United States is truly the center of the world and perhaps the universe???? And how does one even use or find bittorrent?
-
Can I suggest a quick peruse for edonkey?
SF is shown as the offical site as it is tagged as a Sci Fi original series.
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/
Problem seems to be the official site is US based BUT the series has no US showing. So no epi guides on anything but fan sites yet, of which there are several.
http://battlestarfanclub.com/battlestar/bgneweps.htm
Like this.
US = centre of universe? Nice dream ;)
