Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Six of One
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 2 | Aired on 04.11.2008
Saul Motherfrakking Tigh does not have time for your feminism! (As A Pimp Named Slickback would say, "Did you know that at least 75% of bitches suffer from some kind of hearing loss? This alarming statistic means that, more likely than not, talking is not the most effective way to communicate with a bitch. That's when you have to hit her. Has not hitting the bitch been working? I mean, scientifically speaking, has not hitting the bitch achieved the desired result?") He loved Ellen more than a man has ever loved a woman, and killed her for doing this, and learned his Godsdamned lesson: When Saul Tigh turns your ass out, you best pay attention, because it's for the good of the Fleet, or at least the Insurrection, or at least the F4, or at least Saul Tigh. Six of one.
And somewhere Ismene warns her beloved sister, Antigone, "We must remember: first, that we were born women, as should not strive with men; next, that we are ruled by the stronger, so we must obey in these things, and in things yet sorer."
THE THIRD OPTION IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SYNTHESIS OR REVOLUTION
(In which Zeus asks Artemis WTF, six Robots engage in a Conversational Dispute, an Old Friend dies again, and Natalie threatens to Pray.)
Adama's in Kara's cell, pissed as hell after the hostage stunt she just pulled. "What were you doing? What were you thinking? What happened to you?" And Kara begins to sob, and delivers these next lines in a very unattractive, but vérité, manner: "I saw Earth. The shape of it, the smell of it. The feel of it on my skin, in my pores. And I swear to you, it was like I'd been there before. Like I never left." Bill points out how she's now officially demonstrated that she's too dumb to have noticed that she's just screwed over the one ally she had, so what the fuck now? Now that she's proven she didn't have the guts to hold on and let him save her like she always did, she's pissed on them both. "Tell me, who's gonna help you?"
(Creon's son Haemon went crazy, and entered the tomb, and Creon cried aloud, "with a dread cry, "...And went in, and called to him with a voice of wailing: 'Unhappy, what deed hast thou done! What thought hath come to thee? What manner of mischance hath marred thy reason? Come forth, my child! I pray thee! I implore!')
Kara's ADD kicks in. "Hold on" what? "Wait" for who? "Yeah. Frak me, huh? It sure as hell isn't gonna be you." She sees the anger, the hurt she's getting out of him, and presses. What do you do when you can't get out? "You've gotta remind yourself that you're somebody else. You're the President's wetnurse." Bill's almost crying at this point, caught between his two greatest loves: "You're the one who doesn't have the guts."
