Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Naked Lunch
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 19 | Aired on 03.13.2009
Gaius watches as Caprica takes her place beside Ishay, and they watch him as he wavers. The truth of the Opera House demands that he join Caprica. The truth of Gaius Baltar demands that he stay put.
And Lida Six is frustrated, watching his twist in the bed beside her. "But I want to make you feel better!" she tries to explain, and he breathes out sadly.
"Cut off my legs."
LAURA ROSLIN
More trading, as the volunteers cross with the survivors. And the maidens shall rejoice at the dance. They finally come to rest, toes against the line, looking across at their brothers and sisters. A small, frail woman makes her way through the crowd, sweetly asking their pardon as she pushes past, shaking, into the space between them. She makes her way to him, her home. Steady as it comes.
And on Caprica the report looks down at Sam, trying not to take it in, the perfection and the beauty of him. Form follows function. "But you still haven't won a championship, and now the C-Bucks are in a rebuilding year. If you don't get to hoist the Cup before you retire, will you consider your career to be incomplete?"
Bill walks to Laura, supporting her. "You didn't think you were gonna take off without me, Admiral. Did you?" He grins, proud and in love. "Never crossed my mind, Madam President."
Bill walks her to the head of the line, to stand with their family. Past Caprica, who loves her silently, past Saul and Ellen. She stands close to Kara, who reaches across the space between them and puts her arm around the President, holding her up. Laura reaches gratefully for her hands, and Kara takes it easily. The world is silent.
And Adama looks up from the page, ready to keep going, past the red line, a random jump into the unknown, into the thing he fears the most:
"I must warn you that I'm getting into the part I haven't read yet."
And Roslin laughs, nudging him with a grin. "Oh dear! Are you going to be able to continue?"
FORGIVEN
Raptor 279 jumps in on the coordinates Sam gave them: right into turbulence, asteroids. It's a hell of space and rocks. This has all happened before, and this is happening again now: Racetrack and Skulls, earning Tauron toothpaste one salvation at a time. "Frak!" Racetrack yells. "Plot us a way the hell back out of here!" Skulls is already on it. "Figures that a brain-damaged Cylon would send us hunting in the middle of an asteroid field," she bitches nervously, and Skulls laughs. "The more things change, the more they stay the same. You got a recon mission where someone needs to hang their ass over the edge and wait for a bite? Send Racetrack and Skulls." It beats sitting in a cell.
