Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT He That Believeth In Me
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 1
Sam kneels at her feet: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey, no. Kara, no. Listen to me. If you were a Cylon, then you've been one from the beginning." (There was a memo, and everything.) She nearly spits, grossed out: "Like Boomer. Spend my entire life thinking I'm one thing..." Sam nods. "And then you wake up one day and discover you're another. Still doesn't change who you really are. Still doesn't change the fact that I love you no matter what." She smiles; her eyes dance. "You are a better person than I am, Sam, because if I found out that you were a Cylon, I would put a bullet between your eyes."
It's a joke to her. To her, it's a joke. She doesn't know yet.
Dualla, over the PA, announces another jump, and counts it down. Kara hisses, grabbing at her head, at the infinity inside it, and whimpers. "Damn it, they're still going in the wrong direction. Oh, one more jump and I'm gonna lose my way altogether..." She wobbles off in an unspecified direction, and he grabs her elbow, supporting her. "All right, we gotta find you a rack. Okay, take it easy." The Marines stare at them, guns shaking, at ease, as Kara whirls on Sam, eyes bright with crazy revelations.
"It's Roslin. The old man's not gonna listen to me as along as she's... I gotta get to her." The worst idea in the universe, well, Kara Thrace is going to go ahead and do that. Sam points out that it's a dumb idea to go lurching through the halls toward the President of the Colonies, what with being a suspected Cylon and confirmed high-ranking seed on Laura's Big Old Airlockin' List.
"Is that a fact?" It is, Sam says, almost sadly, like he knows she's about to bust into crazy ninja Cylon-powers hyperspeed and take out one Marine -- by the neck -- then drop the other one after Sam gets knocked to the ground disarming him. So now, in the time it might take you to blink, there are two KO'd Marines on the floor, a bunch of ordnance ready to be snagged, Sam on the floor looking at her like she's crazy. And where this is happening is in the middle of the holiest place in the Fleet, the place where memories are kept and honored, where love is laid to rest and where families weep and lovers remember and brothers and sisters mourn and wives and husbands and lovers grieve: right in the middle of that, a hall made into an altar for the tears of the orphans of twelve planets. In the Hall of Remembrance, where she wept for Kat, where Sam and Lee wept for her, where they laid to rest a girl named Kat, and Reilly's girlfriend, who had a name like Kassie, or Cally, or Kacey. Back from the dead, Kara Thrace stands in a temple and stares down at her husband.
