Black Market
The drunk commander of the Pegasus (Commander Fiske) is dead. Even though he was only with the fleet for a short time, he had already figured out how to be a big player in the black market.
Roslin is obviously a communist. She doesn’t want to allow free trade in the fleet.
Colonel Tigh committed the high crime of... oh my god he traded a gold necklace for some fruit! What a bastard!
We learn that Apollo has been seeing a prostitute. Not only is it surprising that good guy Apollo is seeing a prostitute, it’s surprising that he needs to. Besides sex with Starbuck and Dualla, he probably could have gotten free sex with a lot of other fleet babes. There’s some bogus story they made up to explain it, a woman he had a relationship with on Caprica. Where did this come from all of a sudden?
This episode was the first this season where we saw Tom Zarek the original Apollo. I always get a kick out of seeing Apollo and Apollo together in the same scene.
The bald black guy was one bad dude, but now he’s dead. Finally the episode is over!
This episode sucked.
Agree with you about seens with Apollo and Apollo.
Enjoy reading your blog.
But so far they've shown life in certain isolated glimpses: the peace movement and the black market. There's not much of a big picture.
As well, I thought it would have been good to have tied in Zarek's statements when he was running for Vice-President. He made these speeches about how there was no economy anymore, that people's lives had changed fundamentally, which seems to have been altogether ignored.
