Xhafer:

Hello and welcome to Who Are You?

2

:

This is a reasonably well done

sci-fi watch cast hosted by two

3

:

former strangers, now friends who

are currently on vacation together.

4

:

Yeah.

5

:

Laura: Yeah,

6

:

Xhafer: Right

7

:

Laura: the same room, right?

8

:

Not looking at each other awkwardly

because of the table set up.

9

:

That's definitely not

10

:

happening.

11

:

Xhafer: that'd be weird.

12

:

Um, yeah.

13

:

This is our, our second episode.

14

:

We've gotten to actually record in person.

15

:

Last year around this time

we were in Vegas for STLV.

16

:

Mm-hmm.

17

:

This year we opted for a.

18

:

More family centric.

19

:

There's uh, 15 of us in a cabin here.

20

:

I if you can call this thing a cabin.

21

:

Laura: pretty big.

22

:

Yeah.

23

:

Xhafer: and we've been

hanging out all week.

24

:

You're going to hear random

people in the background 'cause

25

:

we're in the dining room.

26

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

27

:

Xhafer: Uh, So, some of them you might

recognize from other podcasts, glow

28

:

From Cool Girls is waving right now.

29

:

some of them you might never hear

from again because it's family.

30

:

Yeah.

31

:

Uh, But yeah, we're here and,

uh, it's been a really great week.

32

:

Laura: Yeah, it has.

33

:

What uh, what has been

your favorite part so far?

34

:

Ja Fair.

35

:

Xhafer: Um, my sister staged

the Spud Olympics yesterday.

36

:

That was a blast.

37

:

There were all kinds of

events and everything.

38

:

Laura: I meant to ask if like Spud was

a nickname or something, like where did

39

:

Xhafer: Spud

40

:

come from?

41

:

Laura: from?

42

:

Just, okay.

43

:

Cool.

44

:

Yeah,

45

:

Yeah.

46

:

That's super cute.

47

:

The Spud Olympics were great.

48

:

Jair might think that mostly

because his team did win the

49

:

Xhafer: Bud Olympics.

50

:

That's true.

51

:

Speed puzzling is where it

all turned around for us.

52

:

We were in a steady second for most of

53

:

Laura: it

54

:

Yeah.

55

:

Yeah, Ben and I tried to uh, pull

it out on the speed puzzle, but I

56

:

was a little afraid when I heard

the Jair does speed puzzle for fun.

57

:

So here we

58

:

Xhafer: are.

59

:

Laura: Yep.

60

:

Uh, I think my favorite moment so far

might be that Brad coached my son to

61

:

win his first ever Texas hold him hand.

62

:

Really?

63

:

Well.

64

:

Xhafer: Yeah, that was fun.

65

:

Yeah, some

66

:

Laura: Nice Straight versus straight, but

my son got the higher straight, so Woohoo.

67

:

And uh, and then everybody

taking care of Evie.

68

:

Well, I was in Chicago for a couple days.

69

:

Xhafer: Yeah, she's a delight.

70

:

Laura: keeping her entertained and sending

me cute pictures of her in the pool.

71

:

That was

72

:

Xhafer: That's Yeah.

73

:

Thanks

74

:

Laura: Glow.

75

:

Xhafer: All right.

76

:

Well, we do have an episode of

Battlestar Gala Act to Dakota to talk

77

:

Laura: we do I can see why you

were excited for me to watch this

78

:

Xhafer: Yeah, this one uh, we'll

talk about it in like 30 seconds

79

:

into the episode, but there's been

some discourse in this spoiler chat.

80

:

Uh, Preempting this episode.

81

:

Laura: Yeah.

82

:

I want to hear everything they

said to tell me every single thing.

83

:

Leave nothing out.

84

:

Xhafer: Well, I'm gonna

leave a bunch of stuff

85

:

out.

86

:

but but not about this episode, which

is season two, episode 18, downloaded.

87

:

We rewind to nine months ago the initial

attack on the colonies and we see Caprica

88

:

six wake up in her uh, resurrection Kitty.

89

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

90

:

These look gross.

91

:

Of course.

92

:

It's very gooey.

93

:

Xhafer: Do you think they got these

from the set of the matrix and just like

94

:

Laura: that.

95

:

Oh yeah.

96

:

'cause that would've been

a, a little bit before this.

97

:

Right?

98

:

So we just had some leftovers,

you know, like we use those space

99

:

balls helmets for everything.

100

:

We're gonna use the matrix

goof or everything else.

101

:

Yeah,

102

:

Xhafer: for sure.

103

:

There are a handful of Cys

there for her when she wakes up.

104

:

But not just Cylons, there's

also a Gaia ball tar hanging out.

105

:

Laura: Yes.

106

:

I wondered at this moment,

do we have a silos problem?

107

:

But I'm still on team.

108

:

Gaia is probably not a silo

'cause it doesn't make much sense.

109

:

Like, yeah, just doesn't make sense.

110

:

Xhafer: So this is what I had

fore mentioned the spoiler chat

111

:

had about a month ago decided on

Ask, someone had asked what we

112

:

were gonna call this character.

113

:

We got a handful of options here.

114

:

I'm not attaching names to who put them

on there because I didn't ask beforehand.

115

:

Uh, So sorry about that.

116

:

Laura: You'll get your

credit if you claim it.

117

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

118

:

Non.

119

:

Yeah.

120

:

We've got guy pt, Geico,

Raus, and Pratt, GPT.

121

:

Laura: Okay.

122

:

Raus is pretty damn good

because Grock is really gross.

123

:

And so is Gais.

124

:

Baltar.

125

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

126

:

I'm a big fan of Raus.

127

:

Laura: Yeah.

128

:

Xhafer: Yeah, he's there to help

guide her through Cylon politics.

129

:

That's fun.

130

:

Just like she's there to

help guide him through human

131

:

Laura: politics.

132

:

Oh yeah.

133

:

I hadn't really thought that far on it.

134

:

I had just thought somehow they've gotten

their brainwaves scrambled together and

135

:

for some reason she has Gaia stuck in her

brain and he's got her stuck in his brain.

136

:

I, I don't know if this is

ever gonna get explained.

137

:

Um.

138

:

Xhafer: eh,

139

:

Laura: I would like an explanation,

but maybe any explanation I could

140

:

get would not be satisfying.

141

:

So

142

:

Xhafer: yeah, we uh, we fast forward

to 10 weeks later after this and we

143

:

see Boomer get shot and then she wakes

up and she does not handle it as well.

144

:

Laura: No, and I mean, the Boomer

character was very conflicted.

145

:

Yeah, right.

146

:

About all the, everything so.

147

:

Never even after having done the

shooting, accepted herself as asylum.

148

:

So I wouldn't think

that this would go well.

149

:

Yeah.

150

:

That she's gonna be

super, super duper upset.

151

:

About being in the, basically

the belly of the enemy.

152

:

Well still being one of the enemy.

153

:

So, I don't know,

154

:

Xhafer: We go to theme

survivor count 49,579.

155

:

We are down five.

156

:

The four people that make up the two

crews of the Raptors and Commander Gardner

157

:

Laura: Yeah.

158

:

Yeah.

159

:

Gardner did the Spock and then we

had a couple of randos just get

160

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

161

:

Laura: got.

162

:

In those, in the raptors

to be, to be bait.

163

:

we, we are having a steady downward trend.

164

:

This is unfortunate.

165

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

166

:

I mean, not a lot of opportunities

for this number to go up in the show.

167

:

Laura: Yep.

168

:

I mean, if, if we go back to

Caprica, there might be some

169

:

people still there, right?

170

:

Yeah.

171

:

right.

172

:

Clearly will

173

:

go

174

:

up

175

:

when

176

:

we

177

:

go

178

:

to Cap.

179

:

Uh oh.

180

:

I don't like the eye contact

you're making right now.

181

:

Oh, no.

182

:

Xhafer: speak.

183

:

Speaking of Caprica, after the theme,

we've fast forward to present day

184

:

Caprica yellow, where Caprica six

is watching a park come together.

185

:

As Raus is just being a little shit.

186

:

Laura: Yes.

187

:

Xhafer: I love this for James Callis,

and I love this for Tricia Fer.

188

:

Mm-hmm.

189

:

This must have been a blast

for them to reverse these

190

:

Laura: roles

191

:

Oh, for sure.

192

:

And I can't remember if it was here or if

it's another spot, but they're doing the

193

:

whole, you know, all the sirens or talking

to six and Gaas is like right there.

194

:

Mm-hmm.

195

:

But everybody's pretending they're not.

196

:

And this must have been a really fun

little role reversal for everybody.

197

:

Yeah.

198

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

199

:

It's gotta be difficult as an actor

to like do your craft and only have

200

:

one person know that you're there.

201

:

Yeah.

202

:

Um, I don't know if you watch uh,

ghosts Uhuh, it's a sitcom right now.

203

:

There's been a lot of that where there's

one character who can't see the ghosts.

204

:

Yeah.

205

:

And all the other characters are ghosts.

206

:

And then there's the human character.

207

:

And it's I've seen interviews with

him where he's just all, like, most

208

:

of my job kind of sucks because all

these people are making all these

209

:

great jokes and I just cannot react

to anything going on around me.

210

:

Laura: That would be impossible for me.

211

:

I would get fired so fast because

if something funny is happening

212

:

near me, I need to acknowledge that.

213

:

You're very funny.

214

:

Yeah.

215

:

Xhafer: Uh,

216

:

We cut over to the fleet where

Sharon is having some complications

217

:

with her pregnancy leading

to an emergency c-section.

218

:

Laura: Uhhuh, did we get time?

219

:

Well, we did get some time

established, so it, it was nine

220

:

months since the silent attack.

221

:

Right?

222

:

Okay.

223

:

So that means I was trying to

figure out how early is this baby?

224

:

clearly by the end of the episode, we're

probably not in like, need specialized

225

:

medical attention phase, right?

226

:

Because we're sending this baby

elsewhere and Doc Coddle is here.

227

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

228

:

Laura: Although I suppose Doc

Coddle can go anywhere, right?

229

:

If he's needed, But it, it must be at

least eight months along is what I'm

230

:

Xhafer: That would make sense.

231

:

So we, 10 weeks later was Boomer

getting shot, which is around the

232

:

time that they're on, uh, cobol.

233

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

234

:

Okay.

235

:

Xhafer: That, that would be that mission.

236

:

Yeah.

237

:

And when that is happening

is when, starbuck goes back

238

:

to Caprica to get the arrow.

239

:

And by that point Sharon is pregnant.

240

:

She's been pregnant for a little bit.

241

:

Yeah.

242

:

So if it's nine months, 10 weeks,

we're probably at like eight-ish uhhuh.

243

:

Laura: uhhuh.

244

:

Xhafer: And it's also, you

know, got that s Super blood, so

245

:

Laura: right, right.

246

:

The, the magic.

247

:

Blurred magic.

248

:

Xhafer: magic beard.

249

:

Laura: Okay.

250

:

So now I'm starting to wonder.

251

:

Well, I'll wonder that at

the end of the episode.

252

:

Let's continue.

253

:

Xhafer: Coddle gets a little jab in

about all the work they did to create

254

:

humanoid silences and they still

don't care about learning anything

255

:

about women's health as a society.

256

:

Yay.

257

:

Laura: Yeah.

258

:

Yeah.

259

:

It was like this.

260

:

Yeah.

261

:

I mean that's real.

262

:

Thanks Doc Coddle.

263

:

I appreciate the acknowledgement.

264

:

Yeah.

265

:

'cause it's a plumbing system with

lots of problems and you had the

266

:

opportunity and you just blew it.

267

:

Right.

268

:

Why

269

:

Xhafer: Right?

270

:

Just why do we care about

271

:

Laura: So if, if Cylon, God is

in charge of that, like did si.

272

:

So, okay.

273

:

Back up.

274

:

Toasters, the little BattleBot guys,

275

:

right?

276

:

Were created by humans, right?

277

:

Mm-hmm.

278

:

And

279

:

they're the ones who rebelled.

280

:

Xhafer: Yep.

281

:

Laura: And then somebody creates

12 models of humanoid silent.

282

:

Yeah.

283

:

Theoretically.

284

:

Maybe it's the toasters,

maybe it's somebody else, but

285

:

they have their silent God,

286

:

right?

287

:

Yeah.

288

:

So if silent God is a real

thing, he must be a dude.

289

:

He must be some guy because

only some guy would look at

290

:

this and go, okay, yeah, sure.

291

:

We're just gonna keep doing that.

292

:

If, if Cylon God was a lady,

she would've been like, no, no,

293

:

no,

294

:

no,

295

:

no.

296

:

We've got a lot to work on here.

297

:

Like, let's fix this thing

up, solve a lot of problems.

298

:

But no,

299

:

Xhafer: Surely, surely

silent God must be a man.

300

:

Laura: Yeah.

301

:

Xhafer: Caprica six and her state

assigned buddy three are uh, hanging out.

302

:

We hear that she's a war hero for

having to spend time with Gaas.

303

:

Laura: Gaas.

304

:

Okay.

305

:

So remind me three

306

:

is Deanna

307

:

Zena.

308

:

Okay.

309

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

310

:

Lucy Lawless.

311

:

Laura: Okay.

312

:

Yeah.

313

:

And, and she goes by three, it

314

:

Xhafer: Yes.

315

:

So I think I just used Deanna

for the rest of my notes.

316

:

'Cause it's kind of like the eights

or Sharon's that most of them have

317

:

Laura: have a name Do we know

the Dole's number and the bin's

318

:

number and the Simon's number yet?

319

:

Xhafer: Um, I don't think we do.

320

:

Laura: Okay.

321

:

Okay.

322

:

So I will get to know everybody's

323

:

numbers.

324

:

I think

325

:

Xhafer: give us everyone's numbers.

326

:

Laura: Okay.

327

:

Interesting.

328

:

Interesting.

329

:

Does the number, well, maybe you

can't answer this question if it's

330

:

too spoily, but does the number like.

331

:

Indicate when they were

made like in the order?

332

:

is a six more recent model than a three?

333

:

Xhafer: I think so.

334

:

I don't remember.

335

:

Okay.

336

:

Laura: Okay.

337

:

Xhafer: I'm pretty sure

the ones are the first.

338

:

Laura: Okay.

339

:

Xhafer: Because that's a

plot point for things later.

340

:

Let's see.

341

:

There's another siren

that needs help adjusting.

342

:

So Kaka six is gonna go

hang out with Boomer so

343

:

Laura: that

344

:

they

345

:

don't

346

:

Xhafer: to box her.

347

:

Laura: Yes.

348

:

So the boxing, they describe it is.

349

:

Your memories ba basically of

what happened that messed you up.

350

:

Have to be cut out, right?

351

:

And those memories are gonna go away.

352

:

Basically this boomer

who she is too dangerous.

353

:

Gotta put it on a hard drive and

stick that hard drive in a closet.

354

:

Xhafer: Yes.

355

:

Laura: Yes.

356

:

And not let that continue.

357

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

358

:

So this particular boomer will

get downloaded into exactly that.

359

:

A hard drive and not a body.

360

:

And that's just it then.

361

:

No more.

362

:

Yeah, no more resurrections.

363

:

They don't, they're not gonna try

and cut her up and savor or anything.

364

:

They've got plenty other ones.

365

:

Laura: What a bummer.

366

:

Xhafer: GAAS here takes a minute

and says Silence would literally

367

:

rather condone in immortal to un

existence than let them go to therapy.

368

:

Laura: No.

369

:

Okay.

370

:

Xhafer: That

371

:

Laura: broken clock just went ding.

372

:

Xhafer: But uh, overhead, all this

is, uh, Anders and Jean are plotting.

373

:

Laura: Yes.

374

:

Yes.

375

:

They're going to do a terrorism.

376

:

Right?

377

:

That's

378

:

Xhafer: the plan.

379

:

The plan is to do a terrorism.

380

:

Laura: Yes.

381

:

Um, in the background here on

Caprica some, we've seen a little

382

:

bit of like other Doral, I think.

383

:

Xhafer: Yeah, there's a

bunch of Doral running

384

:

Laura: around.

385

:

I haven't, I didn't

notice when I watched it.

386

:

And to be honest, we've already

had this discussion off pod.

387

:

I was not in my best physical health

state when I watched this episode.

388

:

I was feeling pretty sick.

389

:

Yeah.

390

:

But I didn't notice a single ly open.

391

:

It was like Doral and

392

:

Xhafer: there's a couple Simons.

393

:

Laura: Oh, okay.

394

:

Yeah.

395

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

396

:

You know, I don't recall

seeing a Leo Ben either.

397

:

Laura: Yeah.

398

:

Weird.

399

:

Right.

400

:

Xhafer: Maybe they just

couldn't get the actor

401

:

Laura: for sure.

402

:

Yeah.

403

:

That would be so fun though, to be

a Doral or a Simon in this episode.

404

:

And basically all you do is you're

just running around in the background.

405

:

Like

406

:

just being an extra, just

being an extra, doing stuff,

407

:

but like

408

:

20 times.

409

:

Yeah.

410

:

Yeah.

411

:

Just like every scene where

they're not chatting privately,

412

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

413

:

Uh, Sharon c-section is successful and

Hilo is that project manager who just

414

:

wants to micromanage everything but

has no idea what anyone does or how

415

:

they do their job, and they're just

asking so many questions instead of

416

:

anyone just letting anyone do their job.

417

:

Yeah.

418

:

Laura: Hilo.

419

:

that's, he's definitely

got like I am white guy.

420

:

So important.

421

:

Yeah.

422

:

And

423

:

I am dad, so am important

424

:

going

425

:

on

426

:

Xhafer: be here even

though I shouldn't be here,

427

:

Laura: even though I shouldn't be here.

428

:

Like this woman needs

emergency medical attention.

429

:

But I should be in the middle of

430

:

it

431

:

asking

432

:

how all this affects me.

433

:

Yeah.

434

:

You uh, you probably don't get

this content on the internet

435

:

Jair, but I get targeted content

of like birth horror stories

436

:

sometimes.

437

:

cause the internet is weird and

you get the ones where like.

438

:

The woman is having an emergency

medical problem and somehow the dad

439

:

is still making it all about them.

440

:

Glow is over here nodding.

441

:

She's like, yes, I have

seen this content as well.

442

:

That

443

:

might be a fun rabbit

hole for you sometime.

444

:

Java, if you wanna know

how terrible men can be.

445

:

Xhafer: Can I pass?

446

:

Laura: Just uh, fill in some blanks.

447

:

I bet your imagination can figure it

448

:

Xhafer: out.

449

:

I'm sure.

450

:

Caprica six goes to boomer's,

swanky city apartment with generic

451

:

discordian rock music playing.

452

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

453

:

Xhafer: This

454

:

is terrible.

455

:

Like I know it's probably supposed

to be just like future rock and bear.

456

:

McCreary is really good at his job.

457

:

Because you have to be

talented to make music.

458

:

That sounds like music.

459

:

That's this

460

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

461

:

Xhafer: But man, this drove me crazy.

462

:

Laura: Well think about it.

463

:

Like boomer's in a bad place, right?

464

:

And so it is supposed to be a reflection

of boomer's mental state, right?

465

:

Yeah.

466

:

And so, yeah, it's probably really

shitty inside boomer's head right now.

467

:

Yeah.

468

:

Okay.

469

:

Xhafer: can appreciate

the artistic choice.

470

:

I can also not like the music.

471

:

Laura: Oh yeah.

472

:

No, it's bad.

473

:

But I'm, no, none of us like that

474

:

mental

475

:

state

476

:

either,

477

:

right?

478

:

We don't

479

:

like being it, I mean, if you do, okay.

480

:

But

481

:

Xhafer: I

482

:

think

483

:

Laura: people don't enjoy it.

484

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

485

:

six is uh, trying to sell here, but Boomer

486

:

is

487

:

just not interested at all.

488

:

Grock is tells six to

start with the elephants.

489

:

She does.

490

:

And Boomer talks about her fake childhood.

491

:

She gets pretty upset.

492

:

He spaghetti here and throws

a framed photo up against the

493

:

wall, which six uses a chance to

fake an injury to gain sympathy.

494

:

Laura: Yeah,

495

:

no, this made me wonder at the things

that we've seen from six i, I almost

496

:

wish I had the time to go back and

497

:

watch.

498

:

From the beginning again, just knowing

this about six, that she'll injure

499

:

herself to like, and then reframe all

of her actions under that knowledge.

500

:

Like, so

501

:

is she doing

502

:

other stuff that you know it,

you wouldn't even think about it

503

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

504

:

When you

505

:

see

506

:

it

507

:

Laura: that someone would

consider doing that.

508

:

Xhafer: I mean, there are probably

little moments, but I will say.

509

:

There is payoff for this if you

think about everything going on.

510

:

Laura: Yeah.

511

:

Xhafer: Um, this is, this is a,

about a willingness to do things

512

:

that uh,

513

:

requires a certain level of

disregard for personal safety.

514

:

Mm-hmm.

515

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

516

:

Yeah.

517

:

And

518

:

Xhafer: that should be terrifying.

519

:

Laura: Yeah.

520

:

I mean, well, I mean, she

blew herself up, right?

521

:

She was on Caprica when all the nukes went

522

:

off.

523

:

Yeah.

524

:

And she was the one who orchestrated

all the nukes going off, so mm-hmm.

525

:

Yeah.

526

:

Six.

527

:

Pretty scary

528

:

Xhafer: Gais calls her out on uh, her, her

maneuver here, but he still helps her as

529

:

she helped him mute with the right words

to say, admitting that she loved a human.

530

:

She's just Not like

531

:

other sirens.

532

:

Laura: Hmm.

533

:

I don't know what to make of all this.

534

:

Xhafer: Yeah, that's, that's,

that's the right feels.

535

:

Laura: Hmm.

536

:

Xhafer: It's weird and difficult

and how much of it makes you

537

:

question everything, right?

538

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

539

:

Xhafer: So that's the point though.

540

:

That's what makes this show good.

541

:

Laura: I don't know, man.

542

:

Um, the, everything is

supposed to be a plan, right?

543

:

And let's put a pin in that idea and come

back to it at the end of the episode.

544

:

Xhafer: Okay.

545

:

Speaking of a plan, Anderson crew

planned that bombing to proof a point

546

:

that they should get to silence.

547

:

To just leave because they're

tired of getting blown up.

548

:

Laura: Hmm.

549

:

I mean, okay.

550

:

That is a, a common refrain in

like terrorist actions, right?

551

:

Yeah.

552

:

We're just gonna pester them until

they're tired of being there,

553

:

and then they'll leave, right?

554

:

Mm-hmm.

555

:

And I think it's a successful plan

sometimes, like if we look at our own

556

:

history of being Americans and going

to other places and doing things, Right

557

:

Right here

558

:

Xhafer: in the revolution.

559

:

Laura: Oh true.

560

:

Yeah.

561

:

Yeah.

562

:

So I mean, obviously a logical plan,

but I don't know how well that works

563

:

when you have this situation where.

564

:

We can print as many people as we need,

but they're also like downloading.

565

:

Yeah.

566

:

Their, so their, their

consciousness is immortal.

567

:

So every time that we blow them up, they

learn something from it and like their

568

:

actual person is going into a new body.

569

:

It's not like we as an

organization learn from this

570

:

action.

571

:

We as like an individual

consciousness learn from this action.

572

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

573

:

That's

574

:

Laura: pretty, that's a

significant difference I think

575

:

Xhafer: For sure.

576

:

And I mean, we see the, the

pain of resurrection in the

577

:

first bit of this episode

578

:

for Caprica six and Boomer, it does

not look like a pleasant experience.

579

:

As dying is not meant to be.

580

:

so we, we know that it's hurtful.

581

:

We have scar a couple episodes ago

582

:

mm-hmm.

583

:

Where

584

:

there was all that bit about every

time he dies, he grows more angry and

585

:

resentful.

586

:

So, even though Anders might not be

aware of it fully, he acknowledges

587

:

that like they're just gonna wake up.

588

:

It's all like, yeah, but they're gonna

remember, like, I know that, you know,

589

:

Sharon said that before she left, they

590

:

remember.

591

:

So I'm not, I think it

might be more effective

592

:

Laura: as

593

:

a

594

:

Xhafer: tool than being able to

dismiss the dead and discount

595

:

their opinions because they're

not there to have a voice anymore.

596

:

Yeah.

597

:

Laura: Yeah, yeah.

598

:

Well, I wonder now too, how

would it be fun if you have.

599

:

A silent model or a phenomenon that

happens to any of the models Sometimes,

600

:

like it's not an all the time thing,

but it's a sometimes thing where

601

:

the more you die, like the crazier

you get, like you become so totally

602

:

unstable.

603

:

Xhafer: wait.

604

:

Laura: Yeah.

605

:

Xhafer: That

606

:

Laura: was too obvious.

607

:

That was low hanging fruit, wasn't it?

608

:

Okay.

609

:

Xhafer: Caprica six tells Boomer

about going to uh, gaia's old pad,

610

:

taking his things and burning them.

611

:

While making the guys is making

an imaginary lemon martini for

612

:

her, while this is all going on,

613

:

he's like sipping the martini and he

hands her one, but there's nothing there.

614

:

Like she reaches her hand out.

615

:

Yes.

616

:

In one of the scenes and nothing's there.

617

:

Such a great, great move.

618

:

Yeah.

619

:

Laura: Yeah.

620

:

Xhafer: Boomer tells Caprica

six, though that Gaas is still

621

:

alive and is the vice president.

622

:

Laura: This is wild to me that this

has not come back to Caprica six yet.

623

:

Like did they just not talk about

how the war is going over in

624

:

Galactica?

625

:

Like, 'cause it, he's,

626

:

Xhafer: in busing, say bus.

627

:

Oh,

628

:

Laura: Oh, yeah.

629

:

Because I mean, I, if it was common

knowledge, Gais is right up there.

630

:

He, like you said, he's vice

president, like he would be discussed

631

:

Xhafer: Yes, for sure.

632

:

He has to be considered one of

the bigger threats to, to whatever

633

:

the plan is at this point because

634

:

you know.

635

:

Laura: 'cause he was so smart.

636

:

Mm-hmm.

637

:

Xhafer: I mean, he's manipulatable

obviously they've done it before,

638

:

but also like he's the one running

around with silent detectors.

639

:

Laura: Yeah.

640

:

Xhafer: So that's gotta be a

641

:

thing.

642

:

Laura: does he have a cy detector?

643

:

Xhafer: We know he had a working one.

644

:

He, we

645

:

Laura: He, had a working one, but

he, he purposefully botched it.

646

:

Xhafer: Well, he doesn't want the

knowledge, but they can't control

647

:

that changing for him, you know,

648

:

Laura: So, yeah, we, we knew, we know

that it was magic blurred in the baby.

649

:

Mm-hmm.

650

:

That was so important.

651

:

And it seemed like his cy

detector was a blood test.

652

:

So is it all cylons don't

have the blood type?

653

:

Xhafer: I mean, I feel like they

just handed Coddle a cy detector

654

:

where they throw cancer cells at in

a tube and they throw blood on it.

655

:

But we never talk about this.

656

:

Laura: You are so right though They've

657

:

Xhafer: They gotta

658

:

still

659

:

Laura: have some cancer

cells running around.

660

:

Like even if, even if

661

:

Xhafer: they have to find

someone else with cancer, there's

662

:

Laura: else with cancer there

though, there's got to be

663

:

statistically right.

664

:

be

665

:

Xhafer: Harris's blood.

666

:

That's magic.

667

:

Or no, it's Sharon's blood, right?

668

:

Is it Sharon's blood or Harris's

blood that they give Rosalyn?

669

:

Laura: it is Harris's blood that they give

670

:

Xhafer: Rosalyn.

671

:

Laura: But how would Harris's blood

come out so magical if Sharon's

672

:

wasn't at least a little magical?

673

:

Yeah.

674

:

Xhafer: Right.

675

:

I feel like this is something

you follow up on, but they don't.

676

:

Laura: Hey.

677

:

Hey Ron.

678

:

Hey Ronnie.

679

:

Xhafer: d

680

:

someone at STLV right now.

681

:

Papa dama, Ty, Rosalyn, and Baltar

discuss what to do about the baby.

682

:

Adama's all like, if it's good

for the sirens, it's bad for us.

683

:

And Baltar's all like, yeah, but

it's half human, guys, half human.

684

:

And six PT is in the, you're

gonna have to do something.

685

:

I suddenly care about this again.

686

:

Boat.

687

:

Laura: Yes.

688

:

She just hopped right back on this

689

:

boat when she

690

:

was riding so hard for President Gaas and.

691

:

the baby wasn't coming up.

692

:

'cause it's just like one

line of dialogue, right?

693

:

Yeah.

694

:

You could have been like, I need

you to be president because baby.

695

:

Mm-hmm.

696

:

' Because that's how we're

gonna save our baby.

697

:

But she wasn't doing that for

like two or three episodes.

698

:

Xhafer: Nope.

699

:

Anders and Kru go to blow up the cafe as

we see Caprica six and Boomer hanging out.

700

:

Deanna is f flagging with them.

701

:

They show up and uh, guys is just

reminding them that the plan is

702

:

to box boomer here regardless.

703

:

Anders and teams set the explosive.

704

:

It goes off in a few minutes.

705

:

This is all cutting back and forth a ton.

706

:

They tell Deanna that Boomer has

decided to move out and try to play in.

707

:

Maybe she can be rehabil

rehabilitated to silent society.

708

:

So they conveniently leave the

cafe as the Centurion patrol is

709

:

going through the parking garage.

710

:

And finds Anders, Anders distracts

it long enough for the bomb to go

711

:

off and it's like right next to him.

712

:

The, uh, the toaster sort

713

:

Laura: some sort of like

cigarette based trigger system.

714

:

Like when the cigarette burns

enough, then it's gonna fall.

715

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

716

:

And

717

:

Laura: the,

718

:

Xhafer: it's a closed pin with wires.

719

:

Laura: Yeah.

720

:

Xhafer: So yeah, so you put wires

on both sides of the closed pin

721

:

and then when they touch, it

completes the circuit and so the

722

:

cigarette will burn away and then

close and complete a circuit.

723

:

Laura: Mm gotcha.

724

:

Gotcha, gotcha.

725

:

That's pretty

726

:

Xhafer: Some MacGyver shit.

727

:

Laura: that's very MacGyver.

728

:

Also very impressive how they're able

729

:

to

730

:

just

731

:

like get around in the

city full of sirens.

732

:

Xhafer: They talk about using

the sewers to navigate, which

733

:

is exactly what Hilo And

734

:

uh, Sharon

735

:

Laura: did a lot.

736

:

Right?

737

:

And it's like, can we not get some

toasters just down in the sewer?

738

:

Like what's,

739

:

Xhafer: yeah.

740

:

I guess they're

741

:

Laura: very shiny and that

would ruin the finish, right?

742

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

743

:

That's gotta be it.

744

:

Laura: Yeah.

745

:

Xhafer: the Thes Industrial War machine

needs a budget increase to put centurions

746

:

in the sewers to stop the handful of pesky

747

:

humans, Uhhuh

748

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

749

:

And of course, that's gonna come with the

increase on the like buffing budget, you

750

:

know?

751

:

Yeah,

752

:

Xhafer: for sure.

753

:

We'll have to get

Congress to approve that.

754

:

Yeah.

755

:

Over on Colonial one, Rosalyn

talks to Coddle about her plan.

756

:

He's not happy, but he'll do it.

757

:

We see the bomb messes up Caprica six as

Deanna's just keeps offering the killer.

758

:

Just like, Hey, Caprica

uh, your leg is broke.

759

:

Wanna die and upload.

760

:

Hey, hey Caprica, you got a bad headache?

761

:

Murder.

762

:

Maybe.

763

:

Hey Caprica, I noticed

you got the sniffles.

764

:

I have a cure for

765

:

Laura: this.

766

:

won't it.

767

:

New

768

:

body new.

769

:

Hmm.

770

:

Why would she be pushing so hard for this?

771

:

Yeah.

772

:

It's almost like maybe when Capric

sic dies, she's not going into a body.

773

:

Xhafer: Crazy.

774

:

Laura: Huh?

775

:

But what, okay.

776

:

What is the game here though?

777

:

If like, you've resurrected these two.

778

:

Maybe, maybe you have to do the

resurrection to see if they're broken.

779

:

Yeah.

780

:

And then when you can see that

they're broken, you have to like

781

:

get them into the box somehow, but

like, just kill them then, right?

782

:

so we've got some sort of taboo

perhaps against just killing them.

783

:

They

784

:

might

785

:

Xhafer: have like decided that that

was the plan until very recently.

786

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

787

:

Xhafer: then

788

:

Laura: like, okay, one of those explosive

rounds to the face or something,

789

:

Right?

790

:

Yeah.

791

:

Xhafer: I mean, you just kill 'em.

792

:

Laura: Why?

793

:

Why do we have to ask Caprica

six for her permission?

794

:

You know?

795

:

Xhafer: I mean, maybe that's polite.

796

:

Laura: Hmm.

797

:

I don't know.

798

:

It's weird.

799

:

It's

800

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

801

:

What's weird is them finding

Anders in the rubble.

802

:

Laura: uhoh

803

:

Xhafer: Deanna grabs his gun and

goes to kill him while saying,

804

:

humans don't respect life like we do.

805

:

Laura: do, huh?

806

:

My

807

:

Xhafer: and Valen, you just offered

to kill Caprica six over a bad leg.

808

:

They don't respect life like we do.

809

:

Laura: Right?

810

:

And, and theoretically, like from

all that we can tell and from

811

:

what Raus is telling us, that.

812

:

Right.

813

:

She wants to kill Kaha six over the bad

leg because she's probably going in a box.

814

:

And that's like, so you

815

:

have

816

:

this

817

:

eternal life consciousness thing

that you're gonna just put in a box

818

:

Xhafer: right?

819

:

That's respect.

820

:

respecting life like we

821

:

do.

822

:

Laura: I'm confused.

823

:

Xhafer: Uh, Boomer stops

Deanna from killing Anders.

824

:

So that they can interrogate him.

825

:

They find Kara's dog tags on him too,

which sets up a whole thing with Boomer.

826

:

Laura: I forgot about that.

827

:

I forgot she left her.

828

:

Her stuff.

829

:

yeah.

830

:

Boomer would remember, Kara,

she would remember Uck.

831

:

So is this where she's like,

oh, we need to get there?

832

:

Is that her, her ideas?

833

:

We've gotta go to go acta.

834

:

Xhafer: Um.

835

:

I'm not quite

836

:

Laura: Or can, or is it,

can we manipulate this guy?

837

:

'cause I know Starbuck Hmm.

838

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

839

:

I mean, we'll, this storyline

isn't just dropped immediately.

840

:

Yeah.

841

:

So I

842

:

Laura: that we've gotta keep coming

back to Caprica for at least a minute.

843

:

We got two episodes left

in the season, right?

844

:

Yeah.

845

:

So I would imagine there's gonna be

something about Caprica in those.

846

:

Xhafer: the word Caprica appears

in the episode description

847

:

for next episode that I'm gonna read you.

848

:

Perfect.

849

:

I'm pretty sure, I know I

left a couple things out.

850

:

On purpose.

851

:

But Caprica was in there still.

852

:

Okay.

853

:

Cottle tell Sharon and Hilo

that the baby didn't make it.

854

:

Sharon accuses coddle

of murdering the baby.

855

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

856

:

Xhafer: like, nah, that ain't me.

857

:

But she starts to choke him

858

:

Laura: He does one of those things.

859

:

And Sharon should be smart enough

to pick up on it where the words

860

:

he says are technically correct.

861

:

And he says like, I

don't kill my patients.

862

:

Yeah.

863

:

And if Sharon was thinking.

864

:

With Cylon brain and not mother's

heart, then she would've caught

865

:

that like, this baby is not dead.

866

:

Like they're not gonna let me

have my baby, but she is not

867

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

868

:

Hilo and the chief spreads

some ashes into space.

869

:

Baltar goes to his lab where six

PT and Gais also grieve in their

870

:

own ways before six PT leaves.

871

:

Laura: Six PT and Gaia should

also be smarter than this too,

872

:

Xhafer: for sure.

873

:

Laura: Yeah, maybe they

are May, I don't know.

874

:

But

875

:

Xhafer: I mean, I get why they're

not it, it's important for later.

876

:

So

877

:

Laura: It's it, and we're trying

to focus on like everybody's

878

:

being real emotional right

879

:

Xhafer: now.

880

:

Yeah.

881

:

And Rosalyn's real smart to play

it this close to the chest, and

882

:

it's like she knows Coddle knows.

883

:

I'm not sure Adama knows.

884

:

Laura: Does Tory know?

885

:

helps.

886

:

Xhafer: it up.

887

:

Laura: know.

888

:

Yeah.

889

:

Yeah.

890

:

Xhafer: We meet Maya who has adopted

the baby after just losing hers.

891

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

892

:

Xhafer: Rosalyn, thanks Coddles for his

help in the deception, the old switcheroo.

893

:

Laura: Yeah.

894

:

I'm really glad that Sharon didn't like.

895

:

Succeed in choking, coddle to death.

896

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

897

:

Laura: Yeah.

898

:

Yeah.

899

:

I, I need more of his just vibe around.

900

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

901

:

Laura: But also, like, that'd be

really bad to lose your only doctor.

902

:

Xhafer: Yeah, he's important.

903

:

He's got some plot armor,

904

:

over on Caprica yellow.

905

:

Anders wakes up to what is going on

around him as Deanna six, PT and Boomer

906

:

are all kind of not quite fighting about

what to do, but there's definitely like.

907

:

It is the kind of thing where if

I feel like I were to walk into

908

:

that room, I'd just be like, and

very slowly walk out with my hands

909

:

up, just hoping no one noticed

910

:

me.

911

:

Yeah.

912

:

It's not a place you want to be.

913

:

It's

914

:

Laura: awkward.

915

:

I don't need to be here.

916

:

Yeah.

917

:

Xhafer: This is where Raus

figures out that they want to

918

:

box both Boomer and Caprica.

919

:

Six.

920

:

Tells Caprica six and she

says the quiet part out loud.

921

:

They are celebrities, individuals

in a colony culture where

922

:

the individual doesn't matter

923

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

924

:

Xhafer: their voice is

stronger than others.

925

:

Laura: They're like a, a

hue and a Borg collective.

926

:

Right?

927

:

Like, I was gonna say

the Borg Queen at first.

928

:

'cause the Borg Queen's a

celebrity and all, but she's

929

:

got like actual, literal power.

930

:

Whereas Hugh was just like.

931

:

a dude who kind of woke up and,

and made friends with Jordy

932

:

Xhafer: like yeah,

933

:

Laura: cute episode.

934

:

So yeah.

935

:

Xhafer: yeah.

936

:

they've spent time with the enemy enough

to know that they're also individuals.

937

:

They have souls.

938

:

They're some faceless evil menace to be

wiped out, like it's been sold to them.

939

:

Maybe that the, maybe

the genocide was wrong.

940

:

Laura: Oh.

941

:

Xhafer: a thought that

they are capable of having.

942

:

Unlike most Cys

943

:

Laura: Uhhuh,

944

:

Xhafer: Deanna insists they're

corrupted by their experience and

945

:

Caprica kills Deanna to save Anders.

946

:

Uh, They give him the dog

tags and the gun, and they

947

:

have 36 hours before Deanna's

948

:

resurrection.

949

:

To change silo society.

950

:

Laura: Oh.

951

:

So there's like a delay

in the downloading.

952

:

Like this is a very slow wifi.

953

:

Signal.

954

:

Xhafer: So

955

:

Caprica does make a point of being all

like, because so many silences here

956

:

just died in this bombing, the like,

957

:

Laura: Oh, there's a backup.

958

:

There's a queue.

959

:

there's

960

:

a

961

:

Xhafer: line.

962

:

Yeah.

963

:

She's stuck

964

:

in the queue.

965

:

She's stuck in the queue.

966

:

Exactly.

967

:

Gotcha.

968

:

Raus tells Caprica that he

loves her at this moment.

969

:

Laura: Mm hmm.

970

:

Xhafer: A boomer agrees to this plan.

971

:

They're rescued by a Doral and

some toasters, and we get a shot

972

:

of Maya on the baby to credits.

973

:

Laura: Little worried about that.

974

:

Yeah,

975

:

a

976

:

little worried about that.

977

:

Yeah.

978

:

Xhafer: So on a scale of one to 12

colonies, how do you feel about this

979

:

one?

980

:

Laura: I mean, this was like a

clear increase for me from the last

981

:

few.

982

:

Yeah.

983

:

Xhafer: Like,

984

:

this

985

:

is a great episode.

986

:

Laura: It was really good.

987

:

And you know, when you finally get some

of that payoff to some things that have

988

:

been happening, it's like, thank God.

989

:

Yeah, of course.

990

:

Some of that payoff just

came with more questions like

991

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

992

:

I mean, it's season two, so

993

:

Laura: Yeah.

994

:

like our boomer in Caprica six really

working towards something better,

995

:

like, or are they just stuck

in the plan and this was all

996

:

part of the plan and I don't

997

:

know.

998

:

I'm so scared.

999

:

Xhafer: That's the question

you're supposed to be asking.

:

00:37:34,771 --> 00:37:35,061

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:37:35,936 --> 00:37:39,116

And it really does make you wanna

go into these last two episodes.

:

00:37:39,116 --> 00:37:45,146

Like I know when you have this kind

of show, you're gonna have to really

:

00:37:45,146 --> 00:37:48,476

ramp it up for the penultimate,

and then the season finale,

:

00:37:48,941 --> 00:37:49,931

Xhafer: It ramps up.

:

00:37:51,011 --> 00:37:51,161

don't

:

00:37:51,161 --> 00:37:53,291

even like you, you, you don't even know.

:

00:37:53,921 --> 00:37:53,981

so

:

00:37:54,566 --> 00:37:57,686

Laura: And then I have two days

of driving starting tomorrow.

:

00:37:57,686 --> 00:37:59,876

So am I gonna get to watch any of it?

:

00:38:00,101 --> 00:38:04,481

Xhafer: This is gonna be the kinda one

where you're gonna watch the the next one.

:

00:38:04,976 --> 00:38:07,316

And then you're gonna wanna

watch the next one after it.

:

00:38:07,466 --> 00:38:07,556

Mm-hmm.

:

00:38:07,946 --> 00:38:11,306

And I'm not saying don't, but I am

saying if you thought you wanted to

:

00:38:11,306 --> 00:38:13,451

watch one after the next one mm-hmm.

:

00:38:13,706 --> 00:38:16,376

You're really, really gonna

wanna watch one after the

:

00:38:16,841 --> 00:38:18,521

Laura: Oh boy.

:

00:38:18,631 --> 00:38:19,261

Xhafer: so

:

00:38:19,321 --> 00:38:27,151

be prepared for a couple or maybe

recognize and watch one uhhuh so that way

:

00:38:27,151 --> 00:38:28,921

you don't get too far ahead of yourself.

:

00:38:28,981 --> 00:38:29,851

I mean, you're a call.

:

00:38:29,986 --> 00:38:34,501

Laura: Oh, well I'm, I'm by

necessity gonna have to slow down

:

00:38:34,501 --> 00:38:37,321

'cause I'm definitely not watching

Battlestar Galactica in the car.

:

00:38:37,321 --> 00:38:39,571

That's, that's a Rubicon

I'm not going over.

:

00:38:40,081 --> 00:38:45,299

But Oh yeah, no, for me, I, I'm

gonna put this I think at 11.

:

00:38:45,539 --> 00:38:45,599

Yeah.

:

00:38:45,629 --> 00:38:47,639

Because like, it ramped up really good.

:

00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:51,959

I wanted there to be one less like

room to grow in the season if these

:

00:38:51,959 --> 00:38:53,879

two episodes can really pull it out.

:

00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:56,324

Um, but I, I was.

:

00:38:56,714 --> 00:39:01,544

I'm really glad to see some

of these answers about six

:

00:39:01,634 --> 00:39:02,594

In particular.

:

00:39:02,834 --> 00:39:03,674

Xhafer: yeah, we learned quite a bit

:

00:39:04,304 --> 00:39:06,554

Laura: and I guess, you know,

it's nice to know that Boomer

:

00:39:06,554 --> 00:39:09,044

somehow made it back, right?

:

00:39:09,254 --> 00:39:11,474

'cause that resurrection

ship was hanging around.

:

00:39:11,474 --> 00:39:11,654

So

:

00:39:11,654 --> 00:39:11,894

did the

:

00:39:11,894 --> 00:39:17,504

resurrection ship, like get Boomer

and then send her on back to Caprica,

:

00:39:17,924 --> 00:39:20,924

you know, or maybe we just hadn't

gone far enough from Caprica yet

:

00:39:20,924 --> 00:39:21,164

that

:

00:39:21,169 --> 00:39:21,359

we

:

00:39:21,464 --> 00:39:22,679

Xhafer: learn more about.

:

00:39:23,759 --> 00:39:25,849

The resurrection ship stuff.

:

00:39:25,979 --> 00:39:26,549

Laura: Oh,

:

00:39:27,899 --> 00:39:28,229

Okay.

:

00:39:28,229 --> 00:39:29,609

So there's still more to go on

:

00:39:29,609 --> 00:39:29,909

that.

:

00:39:29,969 --> 00:39:30,209

Yeah.

:

00:39:30,269 --> 00:39:32,029

Than just knowing it exists.

:

00:39:32,249 --> 00:39:32,879

Xhafer: That ain't done.

:

00:39:33,179 --> 00:39:33,539

Laura: Okay.

:

00:39:34,139 --> 00:39:34,829

Good to know.

:

00:39:35,699 --> 00:39:36,599

Looking forward to

:

00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:36,809

it.

:

00:39:36,959 --> 00:39:37,169

Yeah.

:

00:39:37,499 --> 00:39:37,709

All right.

:

00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:38,369

What about you?

:

00:39:39,669 --> 00:39:40,539

Xhafer: I'm good with 11.

:

00:39:41,259 --> 00:39:41,739

Laura: All right.

:

00:39:42,219 --> 00:39:43,359

Xhafer: It's a really strung up.

:

00:39:43,419 --> 00:39:47,109

Um, part of me is all

like, hmm, do I say 10?

:

00:39:47,109 --> 00:39:50,679

Because I know what's coming

up, but I don't really remember.

:

00:39:51,711 --> 00:39:54,771

I am either gonna love those episodes

or it's gonna be an f this episode.

:

00:39:55,071 --> 00:39:56,301

Um, so we'll see.

:

00:39:56,301 --> 00:39:59,361

I don't remember, enough

about how it goes down.

:

00:39:59,466 --> 00:40:01,596

Laura: The change of

scenery was really nice.

:

00:40:01,596 --> 00:40:08,046

Like, I, I make fun of the caprica, like

color grading and such, but it's nice to

:

00:40:08,046 --> 00:40:10,146

know, you know, we're still out there.

:

00:40:10,206 --> 00:40:11,706

Anders is still out there.

:

00:40:11,916 --> 00:40:11,976

Yeah.

:

00:40:12,136 --> 00:40:12,586

Uh.

:

00:40:12,796 --> 00:40:13,741

Xhafer: Had to get reminded of his

:

00:40:14,086 --> 00:40:17,536

Laura: Really trying to throw some

water on my Anders is a asylum

:

00:40:17,536 --> 00:40:19,916

theory, but I'm standing by it.

:

00:40:19,916 --> 00:40:22,886

by gosh, that Anders is a asylum.

:

00:40:22,886 --> 00:40:23,066

Okay,

:

00:40:23,306 --> 00:40:30,416

Xhafer: Okay, well then next episode

is season two, episode 19, and

:

00:40:30,416 --> 00:40:33,056

lay down your burdens, part one.

:

00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:33,506

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:40:33,746 --> 00:40:34,706

I gotta be scared of those two.

:

00:40:34,731 --> 00:40:35,131

Parters.

:

00:40:35,216 --> 00:40:35,756

Oh no.

:

00:40:36,296 --> 00:40:39,236

Xhafer: Chief Tarrell

seeks the aid of a priest.

:

00:40:39,596 --> 00:40:41,516

A missed, terrible nightmares.

:

00:40:42,356 --> 00:40:44,576

Kara leads a rescue mission to Caprica.

:

00:40:46,691 --> 00:40:50,981

Roslyn and Baltar go head to

head in a presidential debate.

:

00:40:51,084 --> 00:40:53,484

that changes with a dramatic discovery

:

00:40:54,058 --> 00:40:55,594

Laura: Oh, okay.

:

00:40:55,624 --> 00:40:58,444

I really hope the dramatic

discovery is not the baby,

:

00:40:58,861 --> 00:41:01,711

Xhafer: if it were the baby, I

probably wouldn't have felt a

:

00:41:01,711 --> 00:41:03,541

need to censor what the dramatic

:

00:41:04,081 --> 00:41:04,141

Laura: is.

:

00:41:04,171 --> 00:41:04,711

Oh,

:

00:41:04,711 --> 00:41:05,461

Okay.

:

00:41:05,491 --> 00:41:05,521

Okay.

:

00:41:05,551 --> 00:41:07,621

Xhafer: I removed from the episode

:

00:41:08,191 --> 00:41:08,701

Laura: Okay.

:

00:41:08,791 --> 00:41:13,951

Because I was like, man, that would, that

I, I, I'm kind of sensing maybe outta

:

00:41:13,951 --> 00:41:19,269

this baby storyline, we're gonna get

like a creepy little girl at some point.

:

00:41:21,999 --> 00:41:24,999

I don't know if you could hear glow,

start laughing over there, but,

:

00:41:25,329 --> 00:41:28,689

you know, it just, it just lends

itself to a creepy little girl.

:

00:41:29,094 --> 00:41:29,154

Yeah.

:

00:41:29,814 --> 00:41:33,714

So I'm glad she's not the dramatic

discovery 'cause that would probably

:

00:41:33,714 --> 00:41:37,734

actually end up with like a torn

apart baby by the scared, um,

:

00:41:38,724 --> 00:41:41,364

scared human citizens of the fleet.

:

00:41:41,364 --> 00:41:41,424

Yeah.

:

00:41:41,574 --> 00:41:42,084

So

:

00:41:42,114 --> 00:41:42,219

Xhafer: that

:

00:41:42,234 --> 00:41:44,004

Laura: would be a big, big bummer.

:

00:41:44,715 --> 00:41:47,565

Xhafer: I'm just waiting for

the baby to get a name right now

:

00:41:47,565 --> 00:41:49,275

so we can stop saying the baby.

:

00:41:49,875 --> 00:41:51,075

Because I feel like we're talking

:

00:41:51,075 --> 00:41:51,616

about I

:

00:41:51,621 --> 00:41:53,270

thought Oh.

:

00:41:53,290 --> 00:41:54,045

Has that happened?

:

00:41:54,105 --> 00:41:54,585

Okay.

:

00:41:54,945 --> 00:41:55,575

They did.

:

00:41:55,785 --> 00:41:57,315

No, they did name the baby Herra.

:

00:41:57,315 --> 00:41:58,605

I just didn't catch that.

:

00:41:58,605 --> 00:41:59,325

It had happened.

:

00:41:59,330 --> 00:41:59,550

Yes.

:

00:41:59,835 --> 00:41:59,955

I

:

00:41:59,985 --> 00:42:00,135

Laura: I didn't

:

00:42:00,135 --> 00:42:00,555

clock We,

:

00:42:00,590 --> 00:42:00,600

Xhafer: We,

:

00:42:00,735 --> 00:42:02,505

Laura: referred to it in this episode.

:

00:42:02,505 --> 00:42:03,045

Xhafer: Did we?

:

00:42:03,135 --> 00:42:03,495

Oh,

:

00:42:03,525 --> 00:42:03,645

Laura: some

:

00:42:03,645 --> 00:42:04,305

more Gatorade?

:

00:42:04,470 --> 00:42:04,710

Xhafer: I do.

:

00:42:06,420 --> 00:42:10,590

I'm a little, I'm not way

hungover, but I'm, I, I'm in

:

00:42:10,590 --> 00:42:11,100

motion

:

00:42:11,265 --> 00:42:12,675

Laura: someone who, uh.

:

00:42:14,140 --> 00:42:16,840

well, we did the Spud Olympics yesterday.

:

00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,890

Let's pretend it's that.

:

00:42:17,890 --> 00:42:18,040

Yeah, sure.

:

00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:18,850

Xhafer: Yeah, for sure.

:

00:42:18,850 --> 00:42:20,500

Laura: holding up very well on put,

:

00:42:21,145 --> 00:42:21,565

Xhafer: I'm trying.

:

00:42:24,490 --> 00:42:25,120

Laura: yeah.

:

00:42:25,150 --> 00:42:25,870

Okay.

:

00:42:26,230 --> 00:42:26,740

I

:

00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:32,650

I don't, I don't like the dramatic

discovery in relation to Gaas and

:

00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:37,540

Rosalyn though, because Gaas is so

detestable and I feel bad for Rosalyn.

:

00:42:38,050 --> 00:42:38,530

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,185

Laura: We'll get there when we get

:

00:42:41,185 --> 00:42:41,305

there,

:

00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,470

Xhafer: get there when we get there.

:

00:42:42,470 --> 00:42:45,740

And before we get there, we have

to say a couple of thank yous.

:
