Islanded in a Stream of Stars : Battlestar Galactica Latest

Let's face it, Battlestar Galactica is falling apart. The ship, that is.

The series took another few baby steps toward resolving the story... but with only two episodes left, will baby steps be enough? We get some bad news right away: The goop isn't repairing Galactica as expected, and Boomer has doubtless taken Hera to The Colony, a sort of roving Cylon homeworld. Adama is a bit too busy throwing a pity party to listen: "I've had it up to here with destiny, with prophecy, with God and the gods." You and me both, brother. I'm ready for some of these prophecies about destiny to pay off.

On Colonial One, Apollo tries to convince the new Quorum that Adama can command the fleet just as well from the Cylon basestar, considering Galactica's condition. The Quorum is a bit too enthusiastic about this: They immediately start calling dibs on various bits o' battlestar. Apollo is not happy at the thought of his dad's flagship being stripped for parts.

Starbuck, meanwhile, is listening to Baltar sermonize about angels. Uh-oh. She confronts him in the head, hilariously peeing while they talk. Baltar's newfound religion is genuine, he swears, and she gives him her corpse's dogtags since he's all science-y. Anders, meanwhile, has been hooked up to a makeshift hybrid pool on Galactica in an attempt to reboot his brain. It didn't work, but he did use the goop to infiltrate the ship's electrical system, which is causing power surges. Starbuck asks for a moment alone, then has a really touching scene about just wanting "her Sam" back. Just as she's about to put a bullet in his brain, Sam grabs her hand and starts hybrid-babbling. Among his words are the familiar ones about Starbuck being the harbinger of death, and leading "them" to "their" doom.
