Witty remark directing you to look at the hidden text.
Hey, don’t take that attitude with me! I’m doing this for free ya know!

So… that’s what that guy has been up to! He’s third in command right? I mean, when Tigh took over in season two he seemed to be acting like the XO. Meh, the command structure is so screwed up who knows.
So, we got XXO looking to ice Baltar and since he can ice Baltar he’ll ice his lawyer instead. Makes sense, I guess.
I still hate Callie. Like, “Why hasn’t Sharon clocked her in the jaw yet?†hate her. The Chief must get migraines because of how often he must roll his eyes around her. Really, is she that good in the sack? What the hell is it? He still can’t feel bad about beating her to near death, right? I know I wouldn’t.
And the son chooses to leave the shadow of the father. Was Lee ever in his father’s shadow to begin with? I know some amongst the fleet may think so but I never saw it. Still, Lee taking an active role in Baltar’s defense should be interesting. I saw this coming a mile away. Didn’t see the British bloke coming though. I like him. He reminds me in a lot of ways about Baltar. He knows what he’s about and why he’s in it and has no qualms about either and the hell with anyone else that does. There’s freedom in that kind of honesty.
It was nice to see Caprica Six. Don’t have much else to say about that. Tricia Helfer is being sorely underused this second half of the season.
There isn’t really much to say about this episode. All it was really designed to do was setup the following two episodes – to give us the framework of what is to follow. It does that well so there’s nothing to complain about.
One minor gripe: Roslin looks better with the glasses.

Given some things that have been said in interviews, I think that the lawyer is one of the Five. It has already been revealed that he is going to have a major role in the show. Since everyone is an archetype, I think he is the Trickster/Corrupter.
I’ve given up trying to play the “who’s a Cylon” game just because there are so many plausible candidates. Pretty much anyone without kids, or without a living parent that we know about, qualifies.
As for the episode: it was okay. At this point I’m just cruising along waiting for it to end, hoping they manage to make something interesting out of next season.
In fact what I really hope is that they decide to END it next season. And plan for that up front. So they can go out with something interesting.
Exactly, “who’s a Cylon?” isn’t any fun, it’s like playing who’s an “other” on Lost. It get’s old after a while. And the funny thing is, we haven’t had a new Cylon introduced in a while. But it’s always hanging out there, the ‘we can always wrap this up by saying they are a Cylon’. And they can do it 5 times!!!!
The best two things the lawyer said were, and I may be paraphrasing:
“I had a love too…”
“Does your love hurt as bad as mine?”
I’m beginning to wonder though if the Lawyer, manipulating as many people as he has in so short a time, including Lee, might not be something other than a Cylon.
Interestingly he has a real talent for misdirection, and theft, yet he seems to disdain overt lying.
One thing I found illuminating. He took “vision” from the president, the ability to write (and therefore his “voice”) from Baltar, and he pulled loose a “thread” from the military and command uniform of Adama.
Both figuratively and literally.
An interesting choice of targets items.
An interesting choice of target individuals.
A triumvirate of possibilities.
“The law is a beast with a nose like a wolf.”
Hmmm. I’m disappointed. No one here has yet noticed that the lawyer is also poetically Irish?
