No. He meant that Helo recognized Sharon for being a Cylon when he saw another Sharon-Cylon walking around the airfield last season.
Of course, by that point, Helo's Sharon had broken contact with her Cylon controller, so it isn't like they were able to do a lot of coordinating, y'know?
quote: I realize that we only know for certain that the leader knows she's a Cylon. But, that's what I'm saying: Doesn't he seem a bit calm about it? An episode ago, he was gung-ho about gunning down anyone he saw driving down the road, on the off-chance they might be Cylons. Now he's got a self-admitted Cylon walking around freely in his resistance cell, and he doesn't express the least bit of apprehension?
Well, remember that the leader hadn't gotten laid in a long while, plus, he trusts Starbuck & Helo, and if they tell him Sharon's "defective" he may not believe it ... but he's willing, at least, to trust their judgement (probably 'cuz he wants Starbuck lovin' if she delivers on her promise to send a rescue mission).
quote:didn't the raider contain the navigational information necessary to return to Galactica's position?
That doesn't matter though ... does it? Galactica has jumped several times since Starbuck's raider was stolen. What is needed is not the Galactica's old position, but rather the coordinates for Kobol.

Right... anyway, he left me wondering (a) how Starbuck would be able to return and (b) if the Cylons will be going there too.

Well, I don't think Rosalyn was planning on going anywhere until Starbuck got back. But the fleet was forced to jump before that happened. Nice coincidence that Ros and her supporters are jumping back to Kobol just as Starbuck gets a new ride.
But I was suprised that Starbuck wasn't trying to rip Boomer's head off, even if she did just save her life.

Actually no, I'm equal-opportunity in that regard. Of course, I can think of no similar example which satisfies the requirement of the situations being reversed, so perhaps TV writers don't approach things so equally.
Now, what'll be fun is when you end up with Helo, the Chief, and a pregnant maybe-Caprica-Sharon in the same room on Galactica.
(I sense that the Chief, much like DS9's Chief, is going to end up as the guy who gets run through the ringer constantly.)

Please forgive me for stating the obvious, but, Lee, are you intimating that they cut Baltar's baby out of Starbuck's womb? Because that'd actually be really interesting. I had imagined they'd put disquieting-psychoanalysis-fake-doctor-Cylon swimmers up there or maybe harvested some eggs or something, but... Zwounds.

So, er, I got confused in all the jumping and calculating of jumps, etc. Did Roslyn and Co. jump straight to Kobol or back to the point where Starbuck stole the raider? Because the former obviously had a Cylon problem (building missile batteries planteside, etc.) and the latter was swarming with Cylons from when Galactica jumped back to calculate the fleet's un-drift-compensated position.
(Also, did anyone notice how restrained I was not whinging about the "networks", "firewalls" and "gateways" in the previous ep? It wasn't easy.)

"Colonial Day". One is either taking off from or landing at (I do not remember which.) the base Helo and Boomer finally arrive at.
