Welcome to Spacing Out with Boebe and
Jason this week covering Battlestar Galactica Season four,

2
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:18.320
episode four, Escape Velocity. Welcome
back. I'm Babe and I'm Jason,

3
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.000
and this is spacing Out for today. We will be discussing Battlestar Galactica.

4
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.879
If you are new to the show, first of all, welcome and

5
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.480
we will have a spoiler section at
the end of the podcast where we are

6
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:34.240
free to discuss future events, but
otherwise we won't be spoiling anything past this

7
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.719
episode, which is Battlestar Galactica Season
four, episode four, Escape Velocity.

8
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.039
Whatever that means yep. This aired
on April twenty fifth, two thousand and

9
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:50.079
eight. Written by Jane Espinson,
directed by Edward James. Almost may have

10
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.560
heard of him. The survivor count
was thirty nine thousand, six hundred and

11
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.479
seventy five, which is a loss
of one person. Aka CALLI Fat Cabbage.

12
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:10.319
Space can Horror show some respect.
In this episode, the Cylons and

13
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.439
the fleet continue to struggle with their
identities. Chief Terrell mourns the death of

14
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.799
his wife. Baltar Sect is attacked
by a group called These Sons of Aries.

15
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:25.000
Laura Roslin undergoing cancer treatments, attempts
to stall Baltar's rising influence with an

16
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:33.040
emergency decree, Eliadama and the Quorum
overturn it. Vibe check. Did we

17
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.760
like the episode overall? How does
it stand the test of time? I

18
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.040
liked it. Yeah, I missed
Starbuck, but it was pretty good.

19
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.280
Still, we're at the very end, they're like, oh, yeah,

20
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.680
Starbucks here too. Yeah, she's
taken a nap on these maps. She's

21
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.519
asleep this whole episode nap. What
did you like about it? I really

22
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.640
enjoy the silence just kind of freaking
the fuck out, and their interactions with

23
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.840
full and then an episode with Baltar, and it's always fun. So I

24
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.439
really enjoyed those episodes where they highlight
Baltar and his boofy shenanigans. Yeah,

25
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:15.319
and he was like literally being lifted
by his inner monologue to like confront these

26
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.400
like soldier dudes and they're like,
dude, we don't want to hit you,

27
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.439
but we're gonna have to hit you
again. And then he gave a

28
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.759
bloody speech at the end and sounded
a lot like RuPaul. So it was

29
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.080
a good episode for me. Yeah. I like the three cylons on Galactica

30
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:36.319
are they're all like processing their their
grief and their emotions differently. Yeah,

31
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.599
it's a good episode. I've been
kind of realizing, like this season is

32
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:45.120
very serialized, more than like the
rest of the show has been. It's

33
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.120
always been kind of serialized. We
have the whole the main storyline that goes

34
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.120
across large arcs, you know,
but it's also it's been been more episodic

35
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.840
in the past, where like each
episode is about its own concept, and

36
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.120
I feel like right now we're watching
like they decided the story for the final

37
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.000
season and they broke it up in
the episodes, you know. So it's

38
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.599
it's a little different when when we
stop and just look at one episode,

39
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.520
because like like we're just looking at
one little sliver of the story that they're

40
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.560
telling. Yeah, but I think
I can appreciate, Like, to me,

41
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.879
it's like a big painting where right
now we're looking at the brushstrokes and

42
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.719
then at the end we'll see the
full picture and I can appreciate both.

43
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.039
And That's where I'm at with it. Yeah, I mean I still like

44
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.080
it. I think it's still good
storytelling. Yeah, it's just it's a

45
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.879
this is a bit of a change
and yeah, it's also like the drama

46
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.120
doesn't come from like the external threats
anymore, Like it's all been internal character

47
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.439
conflict stuff. Yeah, just also
really interesting. So yeah, it holds

48
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:52.400
up for me trivia time. What
facts could we uncover for escape Velocity?

49
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.240
Got a little bit of trivia?
So the title escape velocity is the minimum

50
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:03.120
speed an object with alpropulsion needs to
needs to have to move away and definitely

51
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.639
from the source of a gravity field. So how fast something needs to be

52
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.520
moving to escape a gravity gravitational poll? Okay, I don't know how that

53
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.360
relates to the episode. Maybe like
the followers of many gods to one god

54
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.800
and how they have to pull away
from like the gravitational force of the norm

55
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.319
the status quo. Maybe that's stretch, but I'm willing to take it.

56
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.639
In the original draft for the beginning
of season four, Tom's Eric was behind

57
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.040
the Sons of Aries and encourage its
attack on Baltar's Cult. That Tom's Eric

58
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.480
was not in the episode. That's
the first time we learned Callie's full name

59
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.040
is Calundra Anderson Tyrol. I don't
bet she smells like cabbage. Yes,

60
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.560
we learned what Chief really thought during
the quorum discussion. One of the members

61
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.199
compares Baltar's cult to the followers of
Mithras, which was a cult popular in

62
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.959
the Roman Empire and probably for us. I don't know. It sounds like

63
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:06.279
that fake fucking armor from the Lord
of the Rings. Yeah, me through

64
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.680
us, the god of Light,
whose cult spread from India to the east,

65
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.680
as far as west of Spain,
Green Britain and Germany. It's a

66
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.560
Roman cult of Mithras. It's an
Iranian god. Okay, come through Iranian

67
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.639
god, guardian of cattle to harvest
down the waters. Okay, I can

68
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.800
get down. I'm Intomitra. I
would be in the cult. But that

69
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:38.240
is all the trivia I had for
this episode. Okay, deep space Dive,

70
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.160
let's break down some of our thoughts
on the episode. You can share

71
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.600
your thoughts with us through email,
Facebook, or Twitter. We may use

72
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.199
your comments on an upcoming episode.
So we start with Kelly's funeral. Yes,

73
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:59.079
and a damas like boring, but
Rosalind's like, remember I like this

74
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.959
because I'm dying. Yes, And
like Chief is playing the part of like

75
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:11.040
morning spouse really well in this until
the Cylons come up to him to sell.

76
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.399
They don't say anything everyone's like,
sorry for your loss, so sorry

77
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.639
for your loss. She was a
good woman. And then fucking um what's

78
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:29.480
her name? Tory comes up and
she's just like and I feel like she's

79
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.319
trying to play her role of like
someone who doesn't really know Chief, she's

80
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.480
just here because she's the president.
Save you still say sorry for your loss,

81
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:45.360
not me. And then a fucking
um what's his name? Old man,

82
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.560
colonel Colonel Tie is right behind her
and he's like, hello, sorry

83
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.879
for your loss or something. He's
like, er, he's ruppy, and

84
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:58.680
then the Chief's eyes get twice as
big and he like gets I had never

85
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.439
seen his eyes pop up out of
his face so hard, and he's like,

86
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.199
you're gonna ruin, You're gonna out
us to the whole fleet right now

87
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:12.639
where And they leave and it's the
most awkward interaction at the funeral, and

88
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.639
I feel like everybody saw it.
Yeah, Leadama's trying to shake his hand

89
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.399
and he's like, I'm waiting in
the line here, like everybody wants a

90
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.639
piece of Chief because he's like one
of the most popular guys. Apparently everybody

91
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.959
showed up for his wife's funeral.
I don't know if Callie was that popular.

92
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.639
But I'm pretty sure they shown up
for she. You know, I'm

93
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.000
you know what I'm see. Like, I feel like anytime someone in the

94
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:41.160
service dies, there's the show service
for it. And yeah, um,

95
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:47.079
well, anyway, so Kelly has
her funeral and she's dead, and then

96
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.160
so Colonel Tye and Tory go meet
Chief and his quarters to be like,

97
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.360
what the fuck was that? And
the baby's just crying. Yeah, and

98
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.600
I love the fact that Colonel Tye
goes and changes that diaper balk screen.

99
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.480
Yeah, well, Tory and tf
for talking. He's back there just like

100
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.000
swaddling this baby, getting that baby
shut the fuck up. That baby's always

101
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.040
fucking crying. I swear to god, Oh my god, I'm tired of

102
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.920
that baby crying. And and like
later he goes and drinks at the bar

103
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:22.439
and he's just drinking his troubles away, minding his own fucking business. And

104
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.959
the person who's like in charge of
driving the ship and making sure everything is

105
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.399
cool and dandy and like up to
order just happens to be at the bar

106
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.679
and we have a dama come up
to him and be like, sorry about

107
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.399
your loss, and he's like,
you don't know about my loss. Dude,

108
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.120
you don't know anything about my life. Man. And he's like,

109
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.360
you're you're just mourning and he's like, no, I'm not mourning. I'm

110
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.320
glad she's walking dead. She smelled
bad, she was lazy eyed and a

111
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.440
bitch or something. They were always
fighting. He's he's talking about he brings

112
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.840
up Sharon, his love, who
happens to be a Silo And now he

113
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.320
founds out that he's a cylon and
he's like did we always know what was

114
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.000
going on? And I think he's
dealing with a lot. And he pushes

115
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.120
um Admiral Adama to the point where
Admiral's like, all right, you're danger

116
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.960
to our ship. You're no longer
chief. I don't know what he is.

117
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.480
He's a specialist now. Yeah,
so he's getting reassigned and I think

118
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.279
he really shit the bed because now
he can't like meet up and have a

119
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.399
secret Silot meetings if he gets reassigned
to a different ship. So um,

120
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.519
but that was really fun to see
just him losing his ship. So that

121
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.279
was also after Racetracks ship. Oh
yeah, because he was but I think

122
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.759
he wasn't his fault because they were
hurrying him up. They were like hurry

123
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.440
up, dude, I gotta be
out there doing my drills or like,

124
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.279
dude, it's a drill, Okay, Like it's not. There's no real

125
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.600
danger right now. If you make
me hurry up, then you'll be in

126
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.879
real d danger. And guess what
happened. You rushed me and now you're

127
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.159
in real danger. Yeah, but
they're under that pressure all the time.

128
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.320
But yeah, he destroyed that little
bus. It's like the short bus ship.

129
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:15.080
I don't know what that was about. It's a raptor no, but

130
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.679
that's what they called it. When
they were in the air, the one

131
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.840
of the guys was like, you
better get your bus going. It's a

132
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.519
bus and she's like, well,
what if this is a bus, then

133
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.039
you're riding a bicycle and he's like, no, I'm driving a race car.

134
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.960
It was like a dick measuring contest. I don't know, I'd rather

135
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.960
be riding a bus. Racetrack has
had like so many close calls in the

136
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.799
series because she back when the fuel
is being sabotaged, like her ship crashed

137
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.960
into the Presidentship Colonial one. Oh
yeah. And then they also when that

138
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.279
guy was trying to blow up Baltar's
lawyers, there was a bomb on her

139
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.120
raptor that they barely caught because of
that cat. So yeah, she's always

140
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.840
just like almost gonna die. Yeah, like every time she gets on board,

141
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.720
like you just prepare for danger.
Yeah. So I don't know Chief

142
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.080
is he's not holding it together too
well. And I think I think he

143
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.519
partially felt that, like he was
a danger to the crew in his condition

144
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.159
and wanted to be demoted. So
you think that intentionally well, I think

145
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:22.559
he's also trying to process a lot
between his wife's death and his newfound Cylon

146
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.759
identity and his half breed baby.
Yep. I like that that gets mentioned,

147
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.639
even though it was it was all
in Chief's head. But I gah,

148
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.960
he's a Cylon then he has a
half Cylon kid. M So most

149
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.919
of the rest of the episode has
both our stuff right well, and Colonel

150
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.600
Tye and Number six as well.
Oh yeah, they have their moments.

151
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.279
So that's the whole other side of
Colonel Tye trying to process who he is

152
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.679
and also still grieving the death of
his wife. I thought it was weird

153
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.039
when he kept switching her back and
forth in his head trying to get answers

154
00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:00.879
about himself, like stealthy and then
like, I don't understand and why number

155
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.559
six kicked his ass and then started
making out with him. I feel like

156
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.720
it's one or the other. Well
she changed her mind. I don't get

157
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.279
why. Yeah, it's weird.
Their whole thing is weird, and I'm

158
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.840
not into it. I'm not into
it either. But are you into cults

159
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:24.840
against cults? Cult wars? I
don't know. I feel like Guias isn't

160
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.679
really doing a lot to become this
like religious leader. He's literally like pulling

161
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.799
quotes out of a cam Like it's
like, if you don't know how to

162
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.240
love yourself, then how are you
going to love somebody else? And you

163
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:46.279
know, we're all perfect and God
loves us and he made us perfect.

164
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.919
And I'm just like, and I
don't understand why people are crying and clapping

165
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.919
about it. Maybe because he's covered
in blood. Like when the attack from

166
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:03.639
the Sons of Anarchy or whatever they're
called varies whatever, they weren't on motorcycles.

167
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.960
I bet if they could have motorcycles
they would have them. Okay,

168
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.639
they were giving those vibes, they
were giving the you will not replace us

169
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:22.000
vibes whenever they came in Baltart.
Immediately jumped and hid immediately, and Tori

170
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.279
saw that and she's like, hmmm, I don't know how she felt about

171
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.879
that. She was also teasing him. She came into pulling his hair out,

172
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.639
and I'm like, he's going to
get a bolt spot. She's like,

173
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.000
what if we mix pain, I'm
pleasure And he's like, I liked

174
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.039
it better when you were crying,
And I'm like, this interaction is weird.

175
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.799
What he's saying and what she's saying. It's like inappropriate and they shouldn't

176
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.639
be Like this doesn't feel consensual anymore. Like the fact that he's like,

177
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.600
I liked it better when you were
crying is kind of insulting. And the

178
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.799
fact that she's like hurting him is
also like pushing the line because it obviously

179
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.879
shows that he's not into it.
He's saying now, he's saying no.

180
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.320
Even if he's not outright saying no, you can tell that it's a no

181
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.120
for him. Well, and she's
using her like superior cylon strength to hold

182
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.080
them down. Yeah, So yeah, giving date rape, she's like untouchable,

183
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.559
like she thinks she can do no
wrong. She's like above it all,

184
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:28.240
she's above judgment. She's above like
guilt and she's perfect, and so

185
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.039
she can get away with murder,
she sure as hell can get away with

186
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.600
fucking date raping guyas Baltar. Yes, her her confidence has really shot up.

187
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:46.559
I think her arrogance yea, is
definitely showing in this, Like her

188
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.960
understanding of what it is to be
a cylon means that she's going to exploit

189
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.440
and that can be harmful. And
I don't I don't. I don't especially

190
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.399
like her journey as a cylon and
what it's making her into because before this,

191
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.759
she was like a person who followed
the rules and did her job and

192
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:15.519
cared about her job deeply and worked
really hard to have a certain perception of

193
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.720
her when I think part of her
is still there, because she's still wearing

194
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.399
like a veil to go into the
Baltar compound, trying to like hide herself.

195
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.960
But it's just interesting that this is
who she's becoming. Yeah, And

196
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.320
it's also interesting they kept cutting her
to her during the quorum scenes whenever they

197
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.559
were talking about Baltar and the cult. They're like, it's almost like she

198
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.440
had like a fear of people knowing
that she was involved in it. Yeah,

199
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.360
But then at the end she was
like in plain sight, watching and

200
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.759
being part of his speech. So
what is it? I don't know.

201
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.480
I'm interested to see, like the
rest of her arc if it's coming,

202
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.320
and I hope it doesn't end poorly
for her, but because she's a woman

203
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:02.039
of color, I fear it won't
and then good for her, just because

204
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:06.519
it rarely does for us when it
comes to things like the taste of power,

205
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.720
this idea of perfection, this entitlement, whether you're entitled to it or

206
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:17.240
not, because you are feeling entitled
to it is what the problem is?

207
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.279
How dare you be entitled to this? But yeah, I don't know.

208
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.720
We'll see and then, yeah,
So they're all kind of dealing with their

209
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:33.559
cylon ness in very different ways.
Chief is drinking it away, Colonel Tie

210
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.679
is questioning another cylon, trying to
get answers out of her and then get

211
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.679
the ship beat out of him and
then get kissed. And Tori's kind of

212
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.240
I don't know, she's like reveling
it. She's like embodying this like other

213
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.679
person in a way, like she's
becoming something different. We'll see. And

214
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.399
Andrews is off trying to get his
wife to notice him. Yeah, I

215
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.320
thought he was going to kiss her
on the head or throw blank get on

216
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.919
her or something, put her pillow
under her. I don't know, You're

217
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.400
just gonna go in there and watch
her sleep. That feels like a shot

218
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.039
they pulled in from another episode just
to like bring them into the fold.

219
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:19.279
Yeah. I still can't believe Laura
Roslin is trying to take away constitutional rights

220
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:26.440
because of Baltar. The right to
assembly is one of our constitutional rights in

221
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.519
the United States of America. Regardless
of what they tell you, you have

222
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:36.680
the right to gather, regardless of
whether you're gathering to protest or to do

223
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.960
something else. You have that right
as a free person in this country.

224
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:48.480
And it's fucked up that this president
is like afraid of one man, and

225
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:53.559
because of that one man, she
will limit the rights of an entire fleet

226
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.920
thirty three thousand or whatever it is. That's crazy. But on the other

227
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.000
hand, I think they were trying
to show that maybe she was right when

228
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.039
they showed Lea Dama coming in to
save him, and then they showed him

229
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.480
in a room. But all they
like, they're like, she doesn't want

230
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.400
to make him a martyr, but
then she makes him a martyr anyway.

231
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.079
With her stupid laws. Yeah,
so what do you do with Laura,

232
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:21.400
Like, I don't get it.
Is it the cancer brain? She's trying

233
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:26.039
to make a law against one person, one group, and everyone is calling

234
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.839
her out on like this can be
applied to so many groups. Yeah,

235
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.200
and it's yeah, you can't make
a special case like that. You know,

236
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.240
there's a lot of groups that like
we wish weren't assembling, but you

237
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.960
can't. They're fucking right. Yeah. Yeah, the the ACLU has gone

238
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.200
the bat for like the Westboro Baptist
Church, they've been there, right to

239
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.240
protest. Nobody wants them to,
but it's their right. They have freedom

240
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.680
of speech and freedom of assembly.
Yeah, and those laws are there to

241
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.720
protect the type of speech that you
might not want to hear. Right,

242
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.960
even if it's something you don't want
to hear, it's not so you can't

243
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.839
stop the world from turning. And
it's gonna turn regardless of whether or not

244
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.119
you agree with it or not.
I think people have to remember that sometimes,

245
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.559
like even though we don't agree with
it, or it might be that

246
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.400
that assembly might be a direct result
of something terrible happening, it was their

247
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.440
right to do it. If they
choose to do something like bad things with

248
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.440
their time. Then that's a different
type of thing that we need to look

249
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:33.400
at. But these motherfuckers in this
show anyway, they're getting together talking about

250
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.519
the One True God and praying about
it. It's the people who are religious

251
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:45.400
zealots on the other side who came
into their little compound and started beating people

252
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:51.359
up, mostly women, and defacing
property and harming people, like with intent

253
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.079
to potentially kill. I don't know
if they would have found Baltar, what

254
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.640
would they have done to him?
And so like that's where I would draw

255
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.240
the line, like, maybe you
shouldn't be meeting to plan a fucking coup.

256
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.359
If you're meeting to plan a fucking
coup or some sort of fucking violent

257
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.599
act, then maybe I'm worried about
why you're meeting. I get that.

258
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:15.799
But if you're just meeting to kumbaya, my lord Kumbayah, then I don't

259
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.599
give a fuck. You do that
over there and you leave me the fuck

260
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.880
alone. But then as a retaliation, Baltar went into the temple and he

261
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.759
started throwing around their idols and got
thrown in the brig So it's just like,

262
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.039
when when is it going to end? Where does it end because now

263
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.599
that he's done that, does he
think he's safe just because they have the

264
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.920
right to assemble again, Like these
sons of anarchy or sons of Adonis or

265
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:48.039
whatever whatever, they're probably going to
come back. Yeah. I think his

266
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.920
retaliation was in part because he felt
like no one was going to do anything

267
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.920
about right. No. Yeah,
you sometimes you have to push the system

268
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.400
in order to get justice. But
he still didn't get justice. They're like,

269
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.079
we're looking into it, seriously,
we really are. Nothing was resolved,

270
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.200
but it did get him a visit
from President Roslin, who's like,

271
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.759
I'm going to show off Anny Wig. Do you see him to see me?

272
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.759
Do you see these inches? Do
you see these inches? Look?

273
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:26.039
I got bangs. She can flip, she can move, she's natural.

274
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.559
She's dying too, and she wanted
to let him know I'm fucking dying.

275
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.519
And I don't know why she wanted
him to know that, but he knows

276
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.119
now, and I don't think he
hears. She's also just like she wants

277
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.480
to like send him a message that
she's not gonna put up with his bullshit,

278
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.359
and then she releases him, which
is kind of surprising. But she's

279
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.759
basically like I'm dying, so I
don't really give a fuck if I have

280
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.440
to bend the laws, takeaway right
from the people who deserved them, just

281
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:03.200
to punish you Astral Queen, who
was the standout character in the episode,

282
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:11.240
My Astral Queen. I was thinking
about guys, Baltar could be Colonel Tie

283
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:18.039
just for taking care of that baby, changing that taper. I don't know

284
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.960
who else does stuff. I mean
Lea Dama. I was thinking of giving

285
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.720
it to Kurt Chief Herol Chief right, Chief, Yeah, Chief, Well

286
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.240
now it's a specialist Heril. Yeah. Well, because he said what we've

287
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:42.039
all wanted to know about Callie the
truth boiled cabbage scent of her. What

288
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.119
else did they say? Hey,
like, talked about her voice and everything

289
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:51.480
was annoying about her. Honestly,
I was living. Yeah, I think

290
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.000
I'm going to give it to Chief. He owned up to his fuck up

291
00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:02.160
and he demoted himself. I'm between
Baltar and Lee Adama for standing up for

292
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.279
constitutional rights. Yeah, although it
wasn't just him, it was the whole

293
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.640
whole quorum. I'm trying to think, like, what what does Baltar actually

294
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:14.240
do? I mean, he goes
in attacks at other religious gathering and then

295
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.400
he gets his ass kicked in the
hallway trying to go home, but he

296
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:21.319
keeps standing up to take those punches. Yeah. The way that they showed

297
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:26.759
him getting up right and it looked
like he was being lifted up, that

298
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.319
was really good camera work. He
looked almost like possessed, like, yeah,

299
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:38.279
he was a marionette. Yeah,
um Leadama dang. This episode about

300
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.680
Baltar Baltar didn't get any love.
No, all right, that does it

301
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.319
for our coverage of Escape Velocity,
we're going to go into the spoiler section

302
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.240
now. So if you don't want
to be spoiled about anything in the future

303
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.720
of this show, this is your
time to get the fuck out. Get

304
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.920
the fuck out with the proper Escape
Velocity. The next episode it's called The

305
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.880
Road Less Traveled, and we will
see you for that. Let's put our

306
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:14.839
living stereo stylus in this group.
Grace for impact. Spoilers ahead. If

307
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.640

310
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:34.920
Spoilers in five four, three,
two one I'm waiting for the day

311
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.599
that they dropped that Ellen Tie is
a Cylon and I thought they were going

312
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:44.440
to do it this episode with her
switching on and off between Number six and

313
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:49.079
Ellen. I think this is a
major clue. I believe Colonel Tie does.

314
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.440
He comes to the realization that Ellen
is the fifth before it's revealed to

315
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.759
anyone else, and it is through
this weird relationship he has with Number six,

316
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.559
very uncomfortable relationship. If asked me, yeah, I'm very uncomfortable.

317
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:08.920
Um what else? What else are
we are we thinking about? Um,

318
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:14.599
that baby ain't his, so it's
not a half Cylon baby, and if

319
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.400
it was, it'd be in the
fucking opera house. There'd be two motherfucker's

320
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:23.200
running around in that opera house.
And his baby's so annoying. But it

321
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.519
does show that Tyrol is thinking about
that aspect of his child. Yeah,

322
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.920
what is it going to come out
that he's not the daddy? I feel

323
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.839
like, I want to say,
gets that information from Doc Cottle, But

324
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:40.680
it might be after the four of
them are outed publicly, before after after

325
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.519
Oh they're outed? Who outs them? Tell me everything? Come on,

326
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.000
this is the spoiler section of the
show. How did they find out how

327
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:49.400
did they get outed? Do you
know how they get outed? At least

328
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.680
do the Cylons tell on them?
I think so. I think so number

329
00:25:53.720 --> 00:26:00.599
three gets unboxed. Oh she tells
everyone. I think it comes out through

330
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.119
her. Okay, I believe there's
like she gives them an option or like

331
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:10.319
you can come join the Cylons and
Tori goes. Of course, Tori's like,

332
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:15.839
I'm done to fuck these white people. Yeah, so that's that's that,

333
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:19.440
all right? Or anything else?
Ellen, we'll be back and not

334
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:22.880
in that number six. Wig might
do more of that. I don't remember.

335
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:29.319
Oh god, I prefer I prefer
her dirty blonde than to blonde blonde

336
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.119
like that? All right? Well, uh, spoilers are in short supply

337
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.680
of these days. There's less and
less episodes ahead of us. I think

338
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.759
next episode we're back on the Demetrius
with starbucking them for a lot of it.

339
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:47.640
We're picking up that story and that'll
be it. That'll be the road

340
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.559
less traveled. Thanks for joining us, and remember we don't love ourselves.

341
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.559

I get an amen? That's what RuPaul
