‘We Shoot Them, Chief!!’ The Last GALACTICA Of Sweeps And The Last Before ‘Maelstrom’!!

I am – Hercules!!

What we believe we know about 3.16, titled “Dirty Hands” and co-written by “Buffy”-“Angel”-“Firefly” vet Jane Espenson, in invisotext:

* Cally is still recovering.

* Laborers have been working 18-hour days for months to process enough fuel to facilitate fleet FTL jumps.

* While incarcerated, Gaius Baltar has apparently written a book that is proving popular with the fleet’s working class.

* Galen Tyrol seeks out Baltar’s counsel.

* Tyrol is convinced to organize a strike.

* With Cally under the weather, Tyrol’s superhot underling, Seelix, seems to take an interest in the chief.

* Tyrol ends up in stir, accused of mutiny.

And here’s what the Chicago Tribune said about next week’s episode, “Maelstrom”:

“Moore adds that after the March 4 episode airs, the name of a major cast member will disappear from the show’s opening credits. They won’t say whether Sackhoff’s name is the one that goes missing. But they do make clear that what happens to Starbuck points the way to a major shift in the show’s direction. ‘It’s a fundamental and permanent change in the makeup of the show’s cast and of the show itself and how the show operates and what the show is about. It’s a very dramatic change of direction,’ [showrunner Ronald D.] Moore says.”

Read all of the Trib’s long Jan. 8 interview with Moore here.

10 p.m. Sunday. SciFi.
