Simon finally gets to the first half of Battlestar Galactica’s maiden season’s finale…

12.

And it takes little time to get going, as we see Baltar in bed with Starbuck.

And Baltar isnt best chuffed when Starbuck calls out Apollos name mid-act.

Shes a weak model, apparently, but one who will see the job through.

Even though nobody else can see it, Roslin is keen for it to be checked out.

This, as youd expect, puts her on a firm collision course with Adama.

That survey hits problems quickly, though, when the three Raptors sent to Kobol encounter heavy Cylon forces.

), one is destroyed, and the other legs it back to Galactica.

The stranded Raptor, however, cant be rescued, given that theres a Cylon Basestar in the way.

Also on Caprica, incidentally, Helo shoots the version of Boomer down there, but doesnt kill her.

His emotional ties to her, though, are seemingly all but gone.

Ill be taking a look at that tomorrow…
