Eyes sweaty/panicked and covered in goo…
Then on colonial one the president is going through Baltar’s things and re organizing things. They plan on putting a portrait of Baltar in the bathroom. Finding some older papers they realize that its Adama’s 45th anniversary in the service. They plan on giving him a medal for service to boost everyone’s mood.
Back on Galactica we have alarms and warnings. Three Cylon raiders are coming in fast. They send a squadron out to cut them down. Two of them are cut down, and they start to get radio signals from the third cylon fighter. Adama orders an escort for the Cylon fighter. Down in the hangar bay the guards have the fighter circled, and the crew give it a wide berth. It starts to leak some goo, and suddenly a hatch pops open and a man falls out. He looks around, and sees Adama, he rises to his feet and Adama comes to him they salute one another. He asks “is it really you sir” Adama replies, “yes, it’s really me. Welcome home bulldog.”
Credits…
We flashback to Adama in an office with other men talking about a stealth ship, and the one pilot he trusts. Bulldog.
Back aboard Galactica Doc Cottle has confirmed that Bulldog isn’t a cylon using his military records. Adama is on the phone with Roslyn telling her that he is a man captured three years ago. Adama asks him how he escaped a base ship, he tells him that he was in a cell for three years. The service and accommodations sucked so he left. After a little laugh. He tells Adama that all the cylons started getting sick, and its spreading, getting worse. Flashing back to the Base star we see Xena looking rather rundown talking to him. Asking him about why he works out, and tormenting him through the bars. He hits her through the bars and apparently pushes her nose through her face into her brain killing her. It looks really gross.
Then we have Roslyn asking him about Adama’s secret mission. They tell her about an ore mining outpost too close to the cylon border, and he was shot down by the Turnons in cold blood. He got shot down, and they lost contact. Roslyn is amazed by him surviving. Roslyn sends her assistant to check and see if any of Bulldogs family survived. When they are alone Roslyn asks Adama what really happened. He tells her to trust him, he will fix it. When she leaves Adama throws things around in frustration.
Back aboard Galactia we have Xenabot roaming around, but she is quicklky captured. The guards fire on her at her own order. Xenabot wakes up aboard the cylon basestar in a bed with Baltar and Caprica six. Naked. It was a dream.
Tigh is laying in bed smoking, drunk again, unshaven smelly. We finally get a good look at his eyesocket. Adama comes in telling Tighe that Bulldog escaped. Tighe is amazed, and asks him if he is there to talk to a friend of an XO. Tighe knows what is going on. It’s going to be quite complicated. Tighe wants to know if Adama will tell Bulldog what he did, he reasons that he will find out sooner or later. Adama leaves.
Tighe is left alone in his misery, remembering his wife. Someone pounds on the door. It’s Bulldog.
Adama is in his office looking through photo albums of his children. Apollo comes in and Adama tells him that its time they talked. Tighe gripes about Adama, and how he’s busy covering his ass. Especially considering how Bulldog was captured.
Adama shot Bulldog down… Simply to maintain cover. It was a covert mission, and the Cylons had discovered them. The sole purpose of the mission was to figure out of the Cylons were going to attack. Apollo figured out that the colonials knew that the Cylons were out there readying an attack before they did it. There were theories that the cylons were in hiding building a war machine…
The Admirals under the Adar administration sent a stealth mission across the armistice line and see if there was any suspicious activity. The cylons would of course see this as an act of war. Bulldog went across the line, saw nothing. Out of nowhere a vessel jumped out of nowhere and Bulldogs ship went nuts. More ships showed up, and Adama ordered Bulldogs ship shot down. Tighe tried to talk him out of it, but he knew how vital it was that he wasn’t captured. The Valkyrie sends a missile after Bulldog but he ejects before it strikes.
Adama admits that the unknown ships were Cylons, that he started the war. The reason the Cylons attacked was because the Colonials crossed their borders. Apollo tells him that it was just as much the Admirals fault, he isn’t solely to blame.
Back on the base star one of the sixes is asking Xenabot about her dreams. Xenabot tells her that the dreams are different, and that god is sending her a message. She then gives a centurion orders to kill her and erase any memory of it. When she is dead she has flashes, she is in a convert hall looking at someone dressed in white, she has flashbacks, and then she wakes up in a new body. She tells them that there is something beautiful, miraculous between life and death.
Back on Glaactica Starbucks is going over the footage of Bulldogs flight. She stops it and asks herself “why do they keep missing” She rushes off. Bulldog is in his room, and he looks mad. Bulldog calls Adama, he needs to talk to him immediately.
Starbucks tells Tighe that the Cylons had Bulldog dead to rights, but they didn’t kill him. They let him escape.
Bulldog attacks Adama, really beast the piss out of him. Then he ties his hands behind his back with his belt. He asks him why he lied to him, and starts to choke him.
He rants about how he stayed alive by thinking of Adama coming to save him… He escaped because they left the door wide open. Adama asks if they let him escape. Bulldog thinks that he beat them. Just then Tighe shows u, in uniform might I add, and kicks Bulldogs ass. He tells him that they are all expendable, and that the cylons let him go, and he tells him to ask himself why. He is doing what they want, trying to seek revenge. And he almost gave in to what they wanted. He gives Adama his gun, and keeps talking to Bulldog about dignity, and how he is trying to find his honour. Adama asks Tighe how he put the bottle away.
Next we are in Colonial one, and Adama is giving Roslyn his resignation. She of course doesn’t accept it. She gets rather authoritative. She thinks he is being Naïve, she thinks the admiralty set him up to start the war they wanted. They did a thousand things good, and bad every day over forty years to provoke the attacks. She gives him a piece of paper showing him the medal of distinction thing. She proposes that since he wants to pay a penalty, he should get the medal the next day. She tells him that its not for him, its for them. He is to be what they need; a hero. That is his penance. Even if it kills him.
The Ceremony is quite nice, on the hangar deck in front of the crew and reporters she pins the medal on him and he stands back and takes the applause.
Bulldog is leaving, and Adama gives him his uniform. He doesn’t want to, but Adama tells him that once a pilot always a pilot. They salute and he sees bulldog off.
Later in Adama’s quarters Tighe shows up. They face off for a second; Tighe says he won a medal. Adama makes fun of it saying he got it for good attendance and playing well with others. He wants Tighe back in CIC, but Tighe doesn’t want that. That’s not what he came to talk about. Adama asks if he wants to talk about what happened to his wife. He says he needs a drink, Adama says he does too, he gets some drinks and they sit down at the table together.
And that’s the last till Dec 2… !@#$!@#
Awesome Episode. Not so struck on Bulldog, seems like too much of a pasted on hero for my liking. But I liked the setup of the episode, I don’t think that Adama caused the war. The things the Cylon are into mentally are too intricate to be simple retaliation for a border incident., but letting Adama have that seed of doubt was a very good weapon to have in their arsenal. Starbuck is starting to become herself again, which is also good. Also Tighe isn’t quite where he was, but they are talking, which is in and of itself a good thing. He may not be his XO yeat, but he is still his friend.
