Baltar leaves the room and closes the door. At which point I think about how fabulous it would be if we heard a gunshot right now. But of course, we don't, and I'm not surprised that we don't, because that would be so incredibly dark. Baltar and Six walk down the corridor silently. And when they've gone a few steps, there's the sound of a gunshot. Baltar and Six pause, and look behind them. After a second they walk on, as a crewman runs down from a different hallway to investigate the noise.
Commercials. I think that this show might turn me into a fangirl. How embarrassing.
We're in the -- wait, where are we? Oh! it's the dinner party room. I guess it's a conference room, actually. Adama gazes at the survey photo with a magnifying glass. On one side of the table are the Prez, the HPVM, and Baltar. On the other, Adama, Tigh, and Apollo. Adama agrees that the planet could be Kobol, but ever-practical, his main thought is that they should consider settling it. Babe, you shouldn't have to settle. The HPVM explains that according to scripture, Kobol points the way to Earth. Adama ignores her and tells Apollo to send three Raptors out to perform a ground survey. Six grumps, "You should go. Remember what I said, Gaius. You don't wanna be here when it happens." Baltar repeats, "When that happens..." and then corrects himself and asks what would happen if he tagged along with the survey team. Adama, still not really interested in anything going on across the table, says that Baltar's presence won't be necessary. Baltar whines that he's the Vice-President, and he thinks that it is necessary. Adama finally deigns to look up as Baltar argues that he'll have to analyze any samples the team brings back, and it'd be easier if he collected them himself. He asks the Prez if she has any objections, and she graciously nods and says it's cool with her. Not in those exact words. Then she turns to Adama and says, "We need to talk." Adama agrees, and Tigh looks a little befuddled.
