Transcript
Hello and welcome to Who Are You?
2
:This is a reasonably well done sci-fi
watch cast hosted by two former strangers.
3
:Now friends who are currently watching
:
4
:I'm Jair,
5
:Laura: And I'm Laura.
6
:Xhafer: and we're here today to
talk about Battlestar Galactica,
7
:season two, episode eight.
8
:Final cut.
9
:Laura: Yeah, this is the holiday edition.
10
:Folks, we are recording
this on Memorial Day
11
:Xhafer: Yes, in Memorial Day lunchtime
record that the, the elusive lunchtime
12
:record for us happens so rarely.
13
:Laura: Yeah, we're, we're doing
lots of things at lunchtime.
14
:Very few of them lunch.
15
:I, I suspect usually, yeah.
16
:Xhafer: I don't know.
17
:I had like a handful of cereal for lunch.
18
:Laura: Okay.
19
:Xhafer: But I also had like half
of a leftover burger for breakfast.
20
:So
21
:Laura: That's a kick ass breakfast.
22
:Hell yeah.
23
:Xhafer: I, I have entered a, a weight loss
competition with a group of my friends.
24
:It's just like, it's a bunch
of people who are like, we're
25
:just, we're just doing a thing.
26
:Memorial Day, labor Day,
everyone's pitching in some cash.
27
:Whoever loses the most weight,
percentage of body weight wins the pool.
28
:Right?
29
:Just like a little financial
incentive to lose a couple pounds.
30
:Laura: Okay.
31
:Xhafer: But I had breakfast
before weigh in, so I'm all like,
32
:heavy breakfast, light lunch.
33
:Laura: No, I had a job that did
those every year, like at New Year's
34
:time, new Year's resolution, and.
35
:Me being rather on the anti-D diet side of
things, didn't enjoy that and seeing the,
36
:the company-wide emails go out about that.
37
:But there was also a girl who had
been like a professional dancer who
38
:always did them, and she always won
because professional dancers know
39
:how to not eat like nobody else.
40
:Xhafer: Yikes.
41
:Laura: Yeah.
42
:uh, trigger warning for like
eating disorders, I guess.
43
:Xhafer: I'm just planning on trying to
get more exercise that's like it cut
44
:back a little bit on the, on the extra
food, don't eat it, and then get a little
45
:bit more exercise, which I was gonna
be doing anyways 'cause it's summer
46
:Laura: yeah,
47
:Xhafer: my body has that natural
Mediterranean instinct to bulk
48
:up before winter real bad.
49
:Laura: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
50
:It's that real European ness.
51
:Uh,
52
:Xhafer: It's like you won't survive
the winter and it's like, I've
53
:been to these countries in winter.
54
:It's not that bad.
55
:It's significantly worse here.
56
:Laura: I mean, yeah, you're in
Michigan, so Okay, I'll buy it.
57
:Xhafer: Fucking nothing's
growing in the winter here.
58
:It is barren.
59
:It is snow.
60
:Laura: true.
61
:Yeah.
62
:No, we're pretty mild here most of the
time, unless we're just like buried
63
:in ice, which is not what you want
64
:Xhafer: Yeah.
65
:Well, I don't know how we can
segue that into this episode.
66
:Laura: Yeah, I've been thinking
it about it for about a minute,
67
:Xhafer: Yeah, I got nothing.
68
:Yeah, no segue.
69
:So we're just gonna move on and talk
about season two, episode eight.
70
:Final cut.
71
:We probably should have talked
about five a bit, because Babylon
72
:five is the show that we watched
before this and Babylon five.
73
:Started this trope, this like
embedded media in sci-fi trope
74
:is the first example of that.
75
:That I'm aware of.
76
:Laura: Yeah, I mean, I can't
pretend to have seen all of sci-fi,
77
:Xhafer: Yeah.
78
:Laura: it is striking when
it comes up in Babylon five.
79
:Xhafer: So that's fun.
80
:Laura: yeah, I, I really
enjoyed that part, like the.
81
:Remembering Babylon five, but Battlestar
is just a much more stressful show.
82
:Xhafer: Yeah, this, this we open on
found footage of the Gideon Massacre
83
:with Marines firing into the crowd
during Ty's martial law Declaration a
84
:handful of episodes, but fuck all that
because we finally got Lucy Lawless.
85
:I.
86
:Laura: I didn't even know, I didn't
even notice this was Lucy Lawless.
87
:Xhafer: Oh,
88
:I had been waiting for Lucy
Lawless to come on this show.
89
:Laura: okay.
90
:Zena, they had her as
as a brunette, right?
91
:She was very dark haired.
92
:And that'll throw me really quickly.
93
:You throw
94
:Xhafer: Note to self, if I ever need to
disguise myself from Laura hair color
95
:dye my hair, put on different
glasses, I will be invisible.
96
:Laura: It's true though.
97
:It's true.
98
:Like that's how anyone can escape from me.
99
:No.
100
:Um, so she's blonde now and obviously
she's just a little bit older, so
101
:didn't, didn't quite catch this,
but I suspect Lucy Lawless is gonna
102
:be a going concern after this.
103
:Xhafer: it's, she's not really uh, she's
not gone by the end of the episode.
104
:And we learn, we learn the
thing at the end of the episode.
105
:They don't, they don't hold it out on us.
106
:Whichever.
107
:Something I really appreciate about this
show, sometimes when they're like, we're
108
:introducing a new silent and fuck it.
109
:We're just gonna tell everyone in
the episode we're introducing them.
110
:Laura: true.
111
:Like Simon was same episode and now
we've got Lucy Lawless, same episode.
112
:Xhafer: Now Simon, they're
like, everyone finds out.
113
:He is a silent.
114
:In this one, we get another
like miniseries Sharon Reveal
115
:where the audience knows she's
a silo, but the crew doesn't.
116
:Laura: Yeah, Now I'm trying to remember.
117
:Her name was Beers, right?
118
:Xhafer: Deanna, Diana, there's no, I.
119
:Laura: Yeah.
120
:Xhafer: It's D apostrophe.
121
:A NNA.
122
:Laura: I actually worked with
a Deanna, spelled like this.
123
:Yeah, it's fun.
124
:I saw that in the, the closed captions.
125
:I remember now that you said
her first name and went, oh,
126
:hey, I worked with one of those.
127
:Xhafer: Yep.
128
:Beers gets called the colonial one to
talk about her report criticizing the
129
:lack of charges against the Marines and
the military in general, where Rosalyn
130
:and Papa dama give beers and all access
passed to put a human face on Gala
131
:Acta, hopefully to calm some of the, uh.
132
:dissonance in the fleet at the moment.
133
:Laura: Yeah, sure.
134
:Xhafer: People are upset at the
military for killing citizens still, so,
135
:Laura: Weird.
136
:Xhafer: Crazy.
137
:Laura: She said when uh, they asked
her where they got this tape that
138
:an anonymous patriot gave it to her,
that just, that made me feel icky,
139
:silent vibes right off the bat.
140
:I wasn't, I wasn't suspicious
of her at this point.
141
:And actually, I don't know if I
was ever suspicious of her but.
142
:Like asylum definitely
gave them that tape.
143
:Xhafer: Yeah.
144
:Somehow
145
:Laura: So yes, Rosalyn is
standing behind the military for
146
:Xhafer: Yeah.
147
:EV they're both on board to do this thing.
148
:They think it'll be good for the fleet.
149
:Uh, We cut over to Ellen, Ty.
150
:With our B plot for the episode
with spooky writing to theme
151
:Laura: Babylon five definitely
did a spooky writing to theme.
152
:Right,
153
:Xhafer: they had to have, right?
154
:Laura: Yeah.
155
:There had to be at least one.
156
:Xhafer: I mean, threat to murder to theme
definitely sounds like Babylon five.
157
:So.
158
:Laura: Right, right.
159
:No, Erin and I were trying to figure
out what the spooky writing was
160
:Exactly, because it's not blood.
161
:Like that ain't blood.
162
:Xhafer: is it like lipstick?
163
:Laura: No, it ain't
164
:Xhafer: cinnamon toothpaste?
165
:Laura: Yeah, we were like, jello from the
commissary, like it's very jelly looking.
166
:Oh, jam.
167
:Like grape jam maybe.
168
:I don't know.
169
:Just not anything.
170
:Xhafer: Yeah, it's kind of out of place.
171
:not just paint.
172
:Laura: right.
173
:Xhafer: But yeah,
174
:Laura: survivor count.
175
:Xhafer: survivor count 4 7, 8 53 down
two, which is Meyer and Zurich's,
176
:other Goon who died on cobol.
177
:Laura: Yeah.
178
:Speaking of the, like within episode
Silent Reveals, I was really thinking
179
:that Meyer was gonna be that like
180
:Xhafer: I mean, still could be.
181
:Laura: I, I suppose, but how do you
182
:Xhafer: thing about dead characters.
183
:Laura: Yeah.
184
:Yeah.
185
:Well, and then why don't we bring a
lotion back on the board then why not?
186
:But it is like, uh, I don't, I don't
know how you get that person back in when
187
:they were so higher profile, you know?
188
:Xhafer: Yeah.
189
:I mean, you have them go do
stuff with silences elsewhere.
190
:You have them do stuff on Caprica, like
we have beers at the end of this episode.
191
:Um, or they're just a known
CY quantity in the fleet.
192
:Like Sharon.
193
:Laura: Yeah, I don't know.
194
:I will be curious to see
if the show attempts one of
195
:these high profile deaths as a
196
:Xhafer: It's a Cy.
197
:Laura: silent.
198
:Yeah.
199
:We'll see.
200
:You don't get to tell me anything.
201
:Xhafer: say a word.
202
:Uh.
203
:On the Raptor to Galactica from
colonial One, Adama Rummages through
204
:some magazines, racetrack frowned.
205
:Remember, magazines.
206
:Laura: Yeah, this is quaint.
207
:Xhafer: This almost feels
more archaic than the sailing
208
:ship a couple episodes ago,
209
:Laura: More than like, do
you remember magazines?
210
:But do you remember like the sci-fi
magazines that had like the stories
211
:and then they'd have profiles on your
favorite like show and actor and.
212
:Xhafer: Yesterday was a friend of
Mine's kid's birthday 13, right?
213
:Laura: Oh
214
:Xhafer: And so I'm like, okay, well
we'll go get Hitchhiker's Guide to
215
:the Galaxy as a birthday present.
216
:That's a
217
:Laura: that's probably the right age.
218
:Yeah, I think that's about when I read
219
:Xhafer: 13-year-old.
220
:Yeah.
221
:Hell yeah.
222
:Hitchhiker's guide.
223
:Let's, let's, this kid's already an
avid reader, like this is perfect.
224
:Um, and so we go.
225
:To the bookstore near their house,
which was also the bookstore
226
:closest to where I grew up
227
:Laura: Okay.
228
:Xhafer: and the wave of nostalgia
I felt looking at the magazine wall
229
:yesterday, knowing how many times I
had gotten a Star Trek, the magazine
230
:from there growing up, or a PC gamer,
or a Nintendo Power or whatever.
231
:Laura: Yeah.
232
:Xhafer: It really, it really hit me in the
fields, being in that bookstore yesterday.
233
:Laura: I totally empathize with that.
234
:I really regret not keeping
some of those sci-fi magazines.
235
:Xhafer: Yeah.
236
:I'm sure my mom ditched him at some point.
237
:Laura: I, I know I'm the one
who ditched them probably.
238
:Uh, But yeah, and racetrack
is just gonna ditch these.
239
:She's like, oh, sorry, commander.
240
:I've been meaning to throw those out.
241
:And it's like, why would you do that?
242
:Your whole world where these came
from, destroyed, don't throw away
243
:the magazines from that world.
244
:Are you insane?
245
:They belong in a museum.
246
:Xhafer: they belong in a museum.
247
:Yeah, for sure.
248
:Indiana Jones is gonna be looking for
these in 20 years and will steal them from
249
:you and throw them at a British museum.
250
:So you gotta fucking
keep your hands on 'em.
251
:Laura: Exactly.
252
:Yeah.
253
:Yeah.
254
:And it's just like capric in life
or something, but it's like, can
255
:you imagine how much value that's
gonna have to the next generation
256
:that doesn't know Caprica at all?
257
:Like they're gonna be fucking
fascinated by these things.
258
:Keep 'em
259
:Xhafer: yeah.
260
:Laura: and and Adama's Got it.
261
:He's got that.
262
:Xhafer: like I get it.
263
:It's probably super
depressing for you to read,
264
:Laura: Sure.
265
:Yeah.
266
:That's why you put 'em in a box
where you don't look at 'em.
267
:Xhafer: right.
268
:Laura: Duh.
269
:Have you not been in my house?
270
:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
271
:but Adama also says here in the
Raptor that anything that compromises
272
:ship safety, you are cutting.
273
:Xhafer: Yeah, that's,
274
:Laura: not keeping that.
275
:Xhafer: I feel like he could
have said that in front of the
276
:president and gotten a Of course.
277
:And not have to like do
this on the ship afterwards.
278
:Laura: Yeah.
279
:Obviously it seems obvious from a command
position that you have to do this.
280
:Xhafer: Like
281
:This is so important,
282
:Laura: yeah.
283
:Yeah.
284
:And then we like cut over immediately
to DOA walking them through the ship and
285
:showing them stuff like CO2 scrubbers.
286
:And I'm sitting there like, doa, do
we really wanna show everybody like
287
:the workings of the ship that seems
like it could compromise safety?
288
:Xhafer: right?
289
:It's all like, here's how
we have oxygen to breathe.
290
:Laura: That seems like a problem.
291
:Xhafer: So, I mean, admittedly
the Cys probably have the
292
:schematics for this ship.
293
:Laura: Yeah.
294
:Xhafer: we know they do.
295
:They they knew where everything
was on when they were on there.
296
:Laura: hey, guess what though?
297
:I'm getting the feeling that not
all our enemies are silenced.
298
:Xhafer: Yeah.
299
:Laura: Sometimes the enemy is us.
300
:Xhafer: Oh yeah.
301
:That, that's very true.
302
:Laura: Like, like sometimes
humans fight each other, so maybe
303
:we shouldn't give other humans
information about this either.
304
:Xhafer: I was really excited for you to
pitch me aliens on this show right then.
305
:Laura: Oh,
306
:no, no.
307
:I'm feeling like we're probably
not going in the alien zone.
308
:I,
309
:I
310
:Xhafer: Yeah, I
311
:Laura: I think
312
:Xhafer: I won't say anything.
313
:Laura: Okay.
314
:I mean, I will trust wherever
Ronnie d wants to take me,
315
:Xhafer: I mean, they are
an original Battlestar.
316
:There are non-human, non-AI aliens
317
:Laura: that's right, because
the, the aliens made the
318
:Cys an original battle star.
319
:Yeah.
320
:Yeah.
321
:I think Ronnie d wants to play around with
like, we are our own worst enemies a bit.
322
:And you don't introduce aliens to do that.
323
:Sometimes you wanna keep it.
324
:All very obviously human-centric.
325
:So I don't know, maybe we're
gonna get him later, but I don't
326
:think it's gonna be here, so,
327
:Xhafer: Starbuck and Lee are discussing
the threat against Ty when Lee tells
328
:Starbuck she was removed from the suspect
list because she doesn't know the Capric
329
:poetry that was quoted in the mirror,
to which she recites the rest of the
330
:poem and then begs to be a suspect Again
331
:Laura: do we remember what this said?
332
:I didn't actually write it
333
:Xhafer: I didn't write it down either.
334
:Laura: It was something about
darkness and falling, and it seemed
335
:very, it reminded me of things I
might have written when I was 13.
336
:Xhafer: For sure.
337
:Uh, This isn't, like, this was
published on uh, you know, live journal,
338
:Laura: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
339
:Xhafer: Live journal.
340
:A hundred percent.
341
:Yeah.
342
:Laura: Or we put it on deviant art
with like some, some art we also made
343
:Xhafer: Oh yeah, for sure.
344
:You know, like you opened up
Photoshop, you threw a like.
345
:Five inch black stroke on the lettering.
346
:You know, threw a bevel and a drop
shadow on there, and then have a
347
:picture of you crying in the background.
348
:But it's obscured by the
text, but not enough to like
349
:completely obscure the text.
350
:A hundred percent.
351
:That's on Dian Art,
352
:Laura: Yeah,
353
:Xhafer: poem.
354
:Oh, for sure.
355
:Laura: yeah, yeah.
356
:I love it when she quotes author
in verse at him, that was, that was
357
:really fun because he just, he does
not know what an artist she really is.
358
:Does he?
359
:Yeah.
360
:Xhafer: for someone who's all like,
they play them like they're, even
361
:though they've only known each other
since G acta, they play them like
362
:they were childhood friends sometimes,
363
:Laura: Yes, a hundred percent.
364
:Xhafer: and Lee does not know
Starbucks as a person at all.
365
:Laura: Yeah, it's really hard to like
reconcile that the way they are two
366
:children together basically, and that
he seems to know absolutely nothing.
367
:Like, has she even told him
about Anders at this point?
368
:Probably
369
:Xhafer: probably not.
370
:No.
371
:Laura: Wild, wild.
372
:Yeah.
373
:So DoAll is still trying to do like
the good steward like the uh, the
374
:museum walkthrough in the beginning
375
:bit when a bunch of
naked people run through.
376
:Xhafer: right.
377
:Like if beers in the camera, they like
follow them into the pilot's changing
378
:room and it's just like decency, like
I would expect this to just be not
379
:okay to film, generally speaking.
380
:Laura: Right, right.
381
:I don't care how much you want the
human side of things, like you can keep
382
:the human part of me that's clothed.
383
:Xhafer: Chasing pilots out of the
shower seems a lot more fleet gone
384
:wild than it does journalistic
report and I'm not okay with it.
385
:Laura: Yep.
386
:Yeah, I mean these pilots are
kind of wild about it, right?
387
:Um, Kat says, does the hi mom thing, and
then moons the camera, which I was just
388
:like, Hey, how is her mom on the fleet?
389
:Well, I guess she's not one of the
original Battlestar pilots, is she?
390
:Xhafer: Her mom might very well be dead.
391
:Laura: Uh, It's true.
392
:She
393
:Xhafer: I assumed her mom was dead and
that she was just doing it for the bit.
394
:Laura: Yeah.
395
:Yeah.
396
:I thought she was sincere.
397
:But if she's one of the ones that
was like drafted into the fleet,
398
:which I think she is, right?
399
:Xhafer: Yeah, she's one of the new pilots.
400
:Laura: It's possible.
401
:She was just like traveling with her
mom, and so she does have her mom.
402
:Because her mom was on the
same ship when it all happened.
403
:Okay.
404
:Because it seems highly unlikely
that an original pilot of Galactica
405
:would have their family left.
406
:That would be crazy.
407
:Yeah.
408
:Except for obviously Thes, because Yeah,
409
:Xhafer: Well, they're
both in the military.
410
:I mean, how crazy it would be.
411
:Is Ellen showing up for Saul?
412
:Like that's how crazy it would be for
413
:Laura: Hmm.
414
:That's crazy, isn't it?
415
:Xhafer: Yeah.
416
:Real crazy.
417
:What a cosmic coincidence, right?
418
:How utterly unbelievable it is.
419
:Laura: Let's go ahead and give the actress
props here for a, making me mad all the
420
:time, but also B, throughout this episode,
she has very little to do actually.
421
:Like she, she doesn't do that much.
422
:She's, she's scared in
the cold open, right?
423
:Scared to theme.
424
:And later she's gonna be
like tied up on the floor.
425
:Xhafer: Yeah.
426
:Laura: But the whole time I'm
sitting there going, is it her?
427
:Because she's just so damn suspicious.
428
:Like,
429
:Xhafer: Yeah.
430
:Anyways after Kat shows her whole ass Lee.
431
:Promptly kicks them
out of the locker room.
432
:Laura: He is having trouble
holding his towel steady as well,
433
:Xhafer: He shows his whole ass to
Starbuck, I think in this, in the
434
:Laura: and it's like, it, it
works the same as it did like.
435
:Two minutes ago when there
wasn't a camera in your face.
436
:It's the same thing.
437
:Xhafer: Same exact size towel.
438
:The towel does not shrink due
to proximity to the camera, even
439
:though it might feel like it does
440
:Laura: But he's thinking
about it too hard now.
441
:That's the problem.
442
:It's, it's all in his, mind.
443
:Xhafer: Huh.
444
:So we cut over to an
interview segment with Ella.
445
:She talks about why she
joined up in the military.
446
:Then DOA is helping with some equipment
in the hallway when Gais walks by
447
:a few times until he's noticed.
448
:Laura: God, he is the worst, isn't he?
449
:God.
450
:He just wants attention so bad.
451
:Like he is really upset that
there's a camera and he's
452
:not the center of attention.
453
:Xhafer: Yeah.
454
:Laura: So he walks by those
few times and then six pt.
455
:Says that we've gotta get her attention
because we're gonna need her help.
456
:Xhafer: She can help him.
457
:She's, she's a, she's a helpful person.
458
:Six PT thinks
459
:Laura: Oh, no, I don't like this at all.
460
:Given what we find out about Ms.
461
:Beers,
462
:Xhafer: Yeah.
463
:Laura: I don't think six PT has
good intentions for Gais at all.
464
:Xhafer: Yeah.
465
:he can't interview today because he's
too busy walking around aimlessly.
466
:But they'll, they'll interview tomorrow
and, beers and Dee are both like,
467
:Laura: Lucy Lawless.
468
:How tall is she?
469
:Xhafer: I don't know.
470
:Laura: We need to google this
really quick because they do frame
471
:it like she's bigger than him.
472
:And then let's see, James Callis.
473
:Okay, so they didn't have to work super
hard to do that, but five, eight's not
474
:that small, but yeah, Gais definitely
has like a mousey feel about him though.
475
:He's like kind of uptight.
476
:Everything's a little like high intense.
477
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
478
:Laura: Okay.
479
:I, I agree.
480
:Xhafer: time for Lee's interview.
481
:When he gets called out for offering the
pilot special treatment, he doubles down.
482
:It's like, yeah, they do
deserve special treatment.
483
:Fuck you.
484
:They've got a shit thankless job
where they almost die every day.
485
:That is vital to the survival of humanity.
486
:Fuck off.
487
:Yes.
488
:They get special treatment when
it comes to relaxing sometimes.
489
:Laura: Okay.
490
:Yeah, I don't know how to argue with that.
491
:Xhafer: Right?
492
:It's not even like she was coming for, uh.
493
:hammerhead or anything, right?
494
:I guess she couldn't because that would
ruin the twist at the end of the episode,
495
:Laura: Hammerhead.
496
:Xhafer: hammerhead is the pilot who
is responsible for the threats on tie.
497
:He's the pilot who was in charge of
the Gideon mission because remember,
498
:they were so short on Marines
that they put pilots in charge.
499
:Laura: Right.
500
:And I, I don't know if it's just me and my
easily fooled this and I forget faces, but
501
:I didn't recognize him as the pilot who,
502
:Xhafer: These are the
503
:Laura: was in charge of
504
:Xhafer: he.
505
:He's in that episode and
he's in this episode.
506
:Laura: Okay.
507
:I, I needed that
508
:to be.
509
:told to be.
510
:Xhafer: Uh,
511
:You know, he hasn't been in the
background of a ton of episodes.
512
:We've, we never hear his call sign.
513
:I think it comes from the books
or the scripts or something.
514
:Laura: Okay.
515
:Because I, I did not recognize the
name Hammerhead when you said it, and
516
:I barely, I didn't even clock his face
when Aaron pointed it out, like during
517
:the episode of like, oh yeah, he's the
pilot that was in charge of that mission.
518
:And I was like, oh, okay.
519
:Okay.
520
:So.
521
:Hmm.
522
:Yeah, I guess special treatment
can only go so far though, Lee.
523
:Xhafer: Yep.
524
:Laura: Right?
525
:Okay.
526
:Xhafer: Yeah.
527
:As we see Katz Viper
has a mechanical issue.
528
:Tyro catches it before it's a problem.
529
:But Kat's yelling at him about it.
530
:Uh,
531
:Laura: That was cat two.
532
:I thought it was racetrack.
533
:Ugh, man.
534
:I need them to like have their names
on their shirts all at all times.
535
:Xhafer: they do.
536
:They're on the
537
:Laura: Nuts.
538
:Well, but they don't have the, they have
their name names, not their call signs.
539
:Xhafer: Kat's name is Kat.
540
:It's like her last name
is Ka ka something.
541
:Laura: Shit.
542
:Okay.
543
:I don't know.
544
:There's something too, Samie samie about
it for me to easily distinguish people.
545
:Maybe it's, you know, like Star Trek.
546
:We have the different colors at least.
547
:So
548
:Xhafer: and color coded for the audience.
549
:Yeah.
550
:Laura: maybe I'm too spoiled by that.
551
:Xhafer: Yeah.
552
:in an interview with Marine, it slips
that tie's been threatened and Deanna
553
:kind of jumps on that for a minute.
554
:And then there is a big
delegation headed to clown nine.
555
:All of the ships in the Flotilla are
going to be represented and Adam's
556
:tie, he's going to represent Galactica.
557
:Laura: This is such a bad idea.
558
:Aa, like, I'm glad it doesn't go
through because it's such a bad idea.
559
:Xhafer: Well, Adom is just
like they're mad at you.
560
:They're gonna go yell at you and
you're gonna fucking take it.
561
:Also, you'll get
562
:Laura: that is a good idea if, if Saul
can like actually just take his lumps,
563
:you know, like this is the thing I
deserve, this is the thing I'm getting.
564
:I don't think Saul Tie can do that,
565
:Xhafer: Yeah.
566
:I don't think you can either.
567
:Laura: so that is not great.
568
:Oh man.
569
:So
570
:Xhafer: away from the bar though.
571
:He gets told,
572
:Laura: yeah, but we know he can't do that.
573
:Xhafer: and we know that that's not
what's gonna happen, but before he
574
:can go, there's a malfunction with
the raptor that would've killed Saul
575
:and vented the cabin into space.
576
:Tyrell says quite directly,
someone took a hammer to it.
577
:Like it wasn't working condition.
578
:Someone came by, smashed it up,
and then was just gonna let him go
579
:off into space and get vacuumed.
580
:Laura: Yeah, but thank goodness it
couldn't even like get out of the
581
:hangar without this being noticed.
582
:Right.
583
:That that tells you right there,
that's not somebody who's an expert
584
:in the mechanics of the thing.
585
:'cause somebody who was like one of
tact TE's men would be an expert and
586
:know that like, okay, if I do that
then it's not gonna get very far.
587
:So I should probably like do
a thing that's more subtle.
588
:We don't have a mechanic
trying to pull this off.
589
:Xhafer: Over on the memorial
wall racetrack, lights a candle
590
:and gives a brief interview.
591
:A little snippet about the
mentality the military trains you
592
:to have before going into battle.
593
:Hilo backs it up in interview before
we cut to him visiting Sharon, who
594
:has blood on her hands and crying.
595
:Literal blood, not figurative,
and also it's hers.
596
:This, I could have worded that better.
597
:Laura: Yeah.
598
:Uh, Sharon is very background
for this episode, but we know
599
:something's wrong with the baby,
so I guess I do have to kind of
600
:maybe admit there really is a baby.
601
:Like I've been very
suspicious this whole time.
602
:Xhafer: I mean, I'm just gonna
devil's advocate here and if.
603
:She is so aware of and in control of her
body so much more than a normal human.
604
:Laura: Did she do this on purpose?
605
:Xhafer: I don't know.
606
:I am not answering your question
about the existence of the baby.
607
:I am merely devil's advocating you
on your changing viewpoint because I
608
:know, 'cause I know the answer, right?
609
:Like it, it has a definitive
answer in the series.
610
:What's going on with this baby?
611
:Um, and WW slash r slash t it's existence.
612
:Um,
613
:Laura: Right.
614
:Xhafer: this, this plot line has an
end that reveals whether or not she
615
:was actually pregnant at some point.
616
:And so I'm just, I'm just trying to uh,
keep your mind open, I guess, rather
617
:than settle in on a definitive view.
618
:Laura: Well the, the thing that was
making me think like, and I guess
619
:maybe we can argue other points that
maybe it doesn't exist, but I was
620
:thinking that like in this little plot
line, she goes to dot coddle and we
621
:find out dot coddle saves the baby.
622
:So.
623
:Doc Coddle should be able to
observe this fetus in some way.
624
:Right.
625
:And determine, yeah, baby.
626
:Like, and like my efforts are working
or my efforts are not working.
627
:Right.
628
:So there's gotta be
something in there, I guess.
629
:But now that you say the thing about can
she do it to herself, like if she could.
630
:Trigger this herself.
631
:Could she also trigger
like a pregnancy herself?
632
:I don't know.
633
:Xhafer: That would be antithetical
to everything we know about
634
:Cylance at this point with
regards to their reproductive uh,
635
:Laura: They seem really like, we
want to, we can't do this ourselves.
636
:They've said that, but I don't
know if I believe anything.
637
:Silence says
638
:so.
639
:Oh, I don't know.
640
:I don't know.
641
:But we cut to something even more bizarre
642
:Xhafer: G of
643
:Laura: where Yes,
644
:Xhafer: him look so cool.
645
:Just like this sweet tattoo.
646
:Laura: gada, what is going on buddy?
647
:He's like losing it.
648
:He's really stressed out.
649
:Xhafer: Yeah.
650
:I mean, his mind is the only thing he'll
lose over the course of this series, so,
651
:Laura: He wonders if there's any
more to life than this at this point.
652
:So he is already getting pretty dark.
653
:And it's just weird and I thought
this was gonna be a one off thing,
654
:but I've also watched episode nine
at this point, so I don't think it
655
:Xhafer: Oh, gada.
656
:Laura: Ugh.
657
:Speaking of things that keep
persisting beers is on to.
658
:Colonel Ty,
659
:Xhafer: yeah.
660
:She like pours drinks and hands him one,
and he's just like, what the hell is this?
661
:And she's like, oh, we're just
loosening up before the interview.
662
:And then she like sets hers down and
then stares at him as she, he drinks his,
663
:Laura: this man, he
cannot avoid being set up.
664
:Xhafer: he's kind of a doofus, right?
665
:Laura: Yeah, I mean, he gets
set up by Ellen all the time.
666
:earlier in this whole thing.
667
:We kind of skipped over the spot,
but Ellen tells him like, you've
668
:gotta stand up for yourself.
669
:You've gotta go do this
interview with her.
670
:Like, people need to, to know your side of
the story, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
671
:And he walks right into the interview,
which was already kind of a dubious idea.
672
:And get set up with alcohol,
like, don't be a fucking idiot.
673
:Xhafer: he can't not.
674
:Be a fucking idiot.
675
:Laura: Yeah.
676
:He's only right twice a day is what
we've discovered about Colonel Ty.
677
:And it winds up being nothing but
regret because what she gets maybe
678
:two questions in before he immediately
regrets his decision, knows he's been
679
:set up and throws a fucking fit about it.
680
:Xhafer: Yeah.
681
:Laura: He like shoves her on camera.
682
:Bad idea.
683
:Xhafer: Yep.
684
:He gets the fuck out of there.
685
:Next up is Starbuck, who is asked
about what it takes to be a pilot.
686
:Adama says the tie in the Marine's
punishment is living with their
687
:actions and another scene right after.
688
:Laura: Yeah, he, he
apologizes for Ty, but.
689
:beers points out that people
apologize for Ty a lot.
690
:Xhafer: Yeah.
691
:Laura: And you know, he says
like, I'm sorry, but it's war.
692
:We're up against this vastly superior
force and I can't sacrifice anyone.
693
:but I have a feeling some people are
gonna start sacrificing themselves.
694
:Xhafer: Kat messes up three landing
attempts in a row is very frazzled.
695
:This gets cut with frantic interview
clips of her uh, when she finally lands.
696
:She's rushed to Med Bay and
that's where they find her space.
697
:Cocaine slash caffeine pills.
698
:Laura: Yeah.
699
:She's like, oh, the
controls are messed up.
700
:I can't do it.
701
:Something's not working right.
702
:And it's like, eh, it's the
controls between your brain
703
:and your hands, like you are.
704
:Not okay
705
:Xhafer: a term for that in it.
706
:Laura: Yeah.
707
:Do share
708
:Xhafer: PCA
709
:Laura: Uhhuh
710
:Xhafer: exists between chair and keyboard.
711
:Laura: Yeah.
712
:I have heard this one
before, but I always like it.
713
:Yeah.
714
:Yeah, she's, she's the problem
between chair and joystick.
715
:Right.
716
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
717
:Laura: But it's very dramatic in sick
bay because not only are we taking
718
:Kat there for her drug problem,
but also Sharon is flipping out.
719
:Xhafer: Yeah.
720
:Yeah.
721
:The cameras catch a glimpse
of Sharon and talk of a baby.
722
:Laura: mm-hmm.
723
:Xhafer: Hmm.
724
:Laura: Uh oh.
725
:Xhafer: Adama takes the camera
tape here in Sick Bay, but
726
:we find that beers snuck it.
727
:Ooh,
728
:Laura: Adama buddy, guy pal.
729
:This is the oldest trick in the book.
730
:This is the oldest trick in the book.
731
:I, I put fake thing for you to take.
732
:Well, I keep real
733
:Xhafer: Yep.
734
:Laura: Come on.
735
:Come on.
736
:Xhafer: We cut over to Baltar's
interview, but an alarm goes off
737
:when it's time to start two silent
Raiders around a collision course.
738
:Laura: This is very funny.
739
:I like to see Gais not get what he wants.
740
:Yeah, he's like running his mouth.
741
:And six PT is encouraging him to
explain why he should run the fleet.
742
:Xhafer: Yeah, make
743
:a
744
:Laura: the worst idea.
745
:Like, okay, Adama definitely made
a huge mistake in the very last
746
:scene, letting her get away and not
like, Hey, empty all your pockets.
747
:Let me just have a peek inside your bra.
748
:Like, like, that, that was a silly
mistake, but Gaas is gonna make.
749
:Many, many more silly mistakes.
750
:He's the worst.
751
:I, I don't know.
752
:I guess, I guess six.
753
:PT just wants chaos or wants a
very malleable person up there.
754
:That's guy, right?
755
:Like.
756
:Uh, But yeah, guys can't
keep their attention.
757
:We've gotta go to CIC and
I guess they split up, huh?
758
:Because there's only
the two of them, right?
759
:There's Ms.
760
:Beers and her camera guy,
but they both have cameras.
761
:Xhafer: Yeah.
762
:Laura: So we get shots of both CIC and the
Viper Bay and all of the stuff going down.
763
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
764
:Yeah, it's a, it's a different
light on how we normally experience
765
:this type of thing because we
don't stay with the pilots at all.
766
:Normally, we get to go with the pilots
and see them do the space battle, but
767
:to experience the space battle from
the perspective of everyone on the ship
768
:listening to the radio, waiting to hear
whether or not they're going to die.
769
:Laura: Yeah.
770
:Which would be pretty accurate
to the actual experience.
771
:Right?
772
:Like,
773
:Xhafer: I would
774
:Laura: Hmm.
775
:And we've, we've like intercut this also
with Ella's interview where she tells them
776
:that, yeah, I told my dad last time I saw
him that I never wanted to see him again.
777
:Xhafer: Yep.
778
:Laura: Lots of, lots of guilt there.
779
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
780
:Eventually they get the all clear and
we see them down on the flight deck, and
781
:CIC celebrate Adama let's out the, yeah.
782
:That gets,
783
:Laura: Yeah, everybody's celebrating,
but beers asks Ola, if this
784
:gets easier, the more you do it.
785
:And Ella's like, of course not you, fool.
786
:It's always harder every time it happens.
787
:It's harder.
788
:Xhafer: Lee says any day that they
don't lose someone is a good day.
789
:Laura: Yeah.
790
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
791
:Laura: Yep.
792
:Xhafer: Ty comes to his quarters to find
Ellen tied up and not in the fun way.
793
:Well, I guess this could be the fun way.
794
:I'm not here to yuck Yums, but uh,
there's a real lack of consent,
795
:and that's what I'm referring to.
796
:Laura: Yeah, no.
797
:So two things here.
798
:I was really afraid for a second.
799
:That like he was walking in on Ellen and
Tai having some role play with somebody
800
:and which I honestly could still happen,
801
:Xhafer: Could still happen.
802
:Laura: could still happen in this
show because like her outfit,
803
:she's wearing like a Barbie outfit.
804
:Xhafer: Yeah.
805
:Laura: And tied up and there is
like duct tape over her mouth.
806
:So that's not very cool.
807
:But I was like, what
are you wearing, Ellen?
808
:Like if you think about the times that
we see Ellen, half of the time that we
809
:see Ellen, it's like, are you wearing
this to just like walk around Galactica?
810
:This this thing that you're wearing,
811
:Xhafer: This is
812
:Laura: wearing it to just
walk around Galactica.
813
:Huh?
814
:Because she's not just sitting
in her quarters the whole time.
815
:Right.
816
:Xhafer: She might be she, you could
tell me that Adama has low key, can
817
:find her to quarters, and I would
a thousand percent believe you.
818
:Laura: I mean, it seems like
it might be useful to do that.
819
:Yeah.
820
:Xhafer: Just like you don't actually
like give the order to her, right?
821
:You don't tell her.
822
:You just have a guard outside
their door and it's an emergency
823
:whenever she tries to leave.
824
:Sorry, man.
825
:Laura: like somebody who's on Ellen
Duty all the time on Galactica, and
826
:like if she does go somewhere, like
she goes down to the cafeteria to
827
:get some food, like it's your job to
be like her friend at that moment.
828
:Xhafer: Make sure that
she goes nowhere else.
829
:Laura: There's a rotation.
830
:Xhafer: Keep her away from Gaia altar.
831
:Laura: Oh God.
832
:Xhafer: Yeah.
833
:But yeah.
834
:So this is where we find
out what's going on.
835
:It's the pilot Hammerhead.
836
:As we mentioned earlier in the episode,
837
:Laura: I'm glad you told me his
name 'cause I didn't know it.
838
:Yeah.
839
:Xhafer: his Wikipedia page, like
his Battlestar Galactica Wikipedia
840
:page, WIA page is so sparse it
doesn't even list this incident.
841
:Laura: Wow, that's super significant.
842
:Yeah, so we figure out it's him
because beers is like editing her
843
:footage and notices one of the
pilots has this book of poetry by
844
:guitarists, and that is significant.
845
:Xhafer: Yeah.
846
:That's the poem that was written in the
mirror in Jello from the commissary.
847
:Laura: Yeah.
848
:Hammerhead like pours booze on him,
849
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
850
:Laura: and Ty, Ty has another like,
broken clock kind of moment here, right?
851
:Xhafer: Yeah.
852
:Laura: He's like.
853
:Shoot me like, yeah, I
was the one in charge.
854
:I deserve it.
855
:I, I got those people killed.
856
:Like he does the thing where he
like puts the gun right to his own
857
:forehead and is like, Hey, go ahead.
858
:You know?
859
:And then, then he does his broken clock.
860
:He says, the Gideon was an accident.
861
:This is a choice.
862
:And that actually seemed kind of smart,
863
:Xhafer: Yeah.
864
:Laura: seemed, seemed kind of a,
a good sum up of the situation.
865
:Yeah, it shouldn't have happened.
866
:There were lots of accidents
in life that shouldn't happen.
867
:Xhafer: Yeah.
868
:Laura: And then he rescues Ellen.
869
:Xhafer: Uh, In the Med Bay beers
interviews Kat and she explains
870
:her shame and we cut over to
reveal that this is actually them
871
:watching the eponymous final cut.
872
:Ty kind of lashes out against it,
but Adama loves it for putting a non
873
:propaganda human face on the military.
874
:Laura: Yeah, I think Ty, he's like
almost in tears watching this.
875
:Xhafer: Yeah.
876
:Laura: I think it's because, you
know, Kat is like letting out her
877
:shame and he can't handle that.
878
:Ty can't handle someone else like
airing out their shame and healing
879
:because he's deep in the middle of
his shame and he's can't admit it.
880
:Xhafer: No.
881
:No, he can't.
882
:Laura: but Adama's very
proud of this piece.
883
:and beers has like a little touching
monologue that goes over the end and such.
884
:Um, and oh, they, they have
even, is this the original
885
:Battlestar Galactica theme again?
886
:There's very like rousing music.
887
:Xhafer: so the original Battlestar
Galactica theme is like the colonial, it's
888
:like the the military force theme song.
889
:Laura: Yeah.
890
:It's very inspiring the way she's put
this together, and she declares at the
891
:end that the mistakes are the exceptions.
892
:Like, yes, we know about the mistakes,
893
:Xhafer: Yeah.
894
:Laura: but every day they're
putting their lives on the line
895
:and they're, they're doing a mostly
good job, but that's not the end.
896
:Xhafer: Nope.
897
:We cut over to Caprica where the cylon
models are having a a little advanced
898
:screening of this before it hits too,
and it's revealed that Deanna is a cylon.
899
:Laura: Whew.
900
:That one was fast.
901
:Xhafer: Yeah.
902
:Laura: That one was fast.
903
:Uh, We have Doral, Sharon,
and six in here with her.
904
:Right?
905
:I maybe Leo's sitting there, but
he doesn't say anything for sure.
906
:Xhafer: Yeah.
907
:Laura: Of course Sharon
wants to see the cut footage.
908
:And hey, she's really stoked.
909
:She's still alive.
910
:Xhafer: Yep.
911
:Laura: She says, I told you so.
912
:I told you she'd still be alive.
913
:I'd still be alive.
914
:Xhafer: This kind of definitively puts S
Hive mind as a theory to rest, doesn't it?
915
:The fact that this is
news for all of them.
916
:Laura: yeah.
917
:They, they had to smuggle this tape out
918
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
919
:Laura: to find this information.
920
:Like, so there's definitely not,
like if there's some sort of silent
921
:cloud, it's location based, right?
922
:Xhafer: It's location based
or maybe it's upload based.
923
:Yeah.
924
:Laura: Oh.
925
:Yeah.
926
:'cause we could have Sharon
just like she could Sharon on.
927
:Galactic as that is, could
be really a renegade and just
928
:not uploading to the cloud.
929
:But that doesn't seem
930
:Xhafer: Yeah.
931
:Laura: likely to me at this point.
932
:Like the other, Sharon is stoked for her.
933
:Xhafer: Yeah.
934
:Laura: They're very happy.
935
:The baby was saved.
936
:Xhafer: Yeah.
937
:Laura: Cool.
938
:Yeah.
939
:So this, this, um, this
beers, this Deanna that
940
:we see, is a different Deanna for sure.
941
:Right?
942
:The,
943
:Xhafer: Then the one that's on
Galactica, like she didn't travel
944
:from the fleet back to Caprica.
945
:Yeah.
946
:Laura: So she sent some kind of
transmission to those two cys that
947
:jumped in, that they fought right.
948
:And then they transmitted back.
949
:Xhafer: Something like that.
950
:Yeah, she might have had
another way to get it out.
951
:They don't really get into it,
952
:so
953
:Laura: I don't think she
actually sent the tape.
954
:I think
955
:Xhafer: that would probably be
significantly more difficult
956
:Laura: yeah.
957
:Xhafer: to physically
move the tape around.
958
:Laura: I do not like that the
fleet, Deanna still has the tape,
959
:like with Sharon and the baby and the
stuff, because she did say to Adama
960
:that Sharon's presence and the baby
could turn the fleet against him.
961
:Xhafer: Yeah.
962
:Laura: That's not great.
963
:It's still a going concern, I think.
964
:Xhafer: Yeah,
965
:Laura: Hmm.
966
:Xhafer: agree.
967
:I think it is still a growing concern.
968
:Laura: Alright, well how do we
feel about episode Final Cut.
969
:Xhafer: Ah, you know, I liked this one.
970
:I did not like it as much
as some of the others.
971
:This season, and I do not like it as
much as the of the, the, the Babylon
972
:five episode that this isn't an exact rip
off of but kind of started this trope,
973
:Laura: Uhhuh.
974
:Xhafer: I feel like is a bit
better of an episode as well.
975
:And I, that's not really fair to take
points away from this episode for that.
976
:But fuck it.
977
:I do what I want.
978
:Um, so I'm gonna go ahead
and place this at a, a nine,
979
:Laura: Uhhuh.
980
:Xhafer: I think it's a solid episode.
981
:Nine outta 12.
982
:Laura: Yeah, I, it's a solid episode.
983
:I do feel better when
we just go ahead and.
984
:Call asylum Asylum
985
:rather than me sitting in the background,
like making a list and guessing.
986
:Um, but maybe it's just the bias of it
having been first, I did feel like I liked
987
:the Babylon five episode a little better.
988
:Um, remind me when the Babylon five
episode turns out, that is a bit
989
:more of a negative propaganda spin.
990
:Yes.
991
:Xhafer: yeah, because that's a lot more of
ISN setting up Babylon five as a problem.
992
:A lot more of the isolationist stuff that
they're trying to push at that point.
993
:Laura: Yeah.
994
:Our main characters don't feel good
about it at the end, the way Adama feels
995
:good about this I was a little afraid.
996
:That we were gonna get more negative
feelings, but I think Battlestar
997
:Galactica has to balance our negative
feelings and our positive feelings
998
:Xhafer: Yeah.
999
:Laura: very much so.
:
00:47:14,757 --> 00:47:19,707
So I was pleased to see
like, oh, it's, it's okay.
:
00:47:19,707 --> 00:47:25,257
It's not a huge propaganda piece
to make them look bad, but I think
:
00:47:25,257 --> 00:47:28,587
that's because we're gonna wait
for another shoe to drop later.
:
00:47:29,148 --> 00:47:30,168
Xhafer: Yeah.
:
00:47:31,762 --> 00:47:33,257
Laura: So yeah, I, I'm with you.
:
00:47:33,257 --> 00:47:34,457
I give this about a nine.
:
00:47:34,457 --> 00:47:36,317
It's not a bad episode of television.
:
00:47:36,347 --> 00:47:40,667
I was riveted the whole time,
but I do have very fond memories
:
00:47:41,057 --> 00:47:42,557
of the first time I saw this.
:
00:47:42,887 --> 00:47:42,947
So,
:
00:47:43,027 --> 00:47:43,417
Xhafer: Yeah.
:
00:47:44,797 --> 00:47:50,767
All right, well next up we got season
two episode nine, flight of the Phoenix.
:
00:47:51,187 --> 00:47:54,037
I believe I described this to
you as Star Trek Voyager did it
:
00:47:54,452 --> 00:47:54,802
Laura: Uhhuh.
:
00:47:55,237 --> 00:47:56,047
Xhafer: two weeks ago.
:
00:47:56,477 --> 00:47:56,927
Laura: Yeah.
:
00:47:56,987 --> 00:48:00,947
Did we actually talk about
what Star Trek Voyager did?
:
00:48:01,297 --> 00:48:01,717
Xhafer: no.
:
00:48:02,807 --> 00:48:03,227
Laura: Okay.
:
00:48:03,367 --> 00:48:06,637
Xhafer: just remember the Delta flyer and
that this is the one where Teel builds.
:
00:48:07,822 --> 00:48:08,422
A fighter.
:
00:48:08,927 --> 00:48:09,557
Laura: Yes.
:
00:48:09,557 --> 00:48:09,887
Yes.
:
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:12,617
So when I watched this, I have
already watched Episode nine folks.
:
00:48:13,217 --> 00:48:17,327
I was thinking, okay, what
did Star Trek Voyager do?
:
00:48:17,417 --> 00:48:20,447
And the second Terrell
started building a ship.
:
00:48:20,447 --> 00:48:22,097
I was like, oh, it's the Delta flyer.
:
00:48:22,432 --> 00:48:22,912
Xhafer: Yeah.
:
00:48:24,662 --> 00:48:26,372
Laura: But this is a cool, a cool episode.
:
00:48:26,372 --> 00:48:26,852
I liked it.
:
00:48:27,092 --> 00:48:27,362
So
:
00:48:27,427 --> 00:48:30,862
Xhafer: Well, I haven't watched it in
a while, so I'm looking forward to it.
:
00:48:31,162 --> 00:48:34,552
We got Sharon inform a DAMA
that the Galactica has been
:
00:48:34,552 --> 00:48:36,532
infiltrated with a computer virus.
:
00:48:36,652 --> 00:48:39,352
Tyrell decides to start
building a new fighter.
:
00:48:39,847 --> 00:48:40,267
Laura: Mm-hmm.
:
00:48:41,262 --> 00:48:41,982
Our man, Tyrell,
:
00:48:42,092 --> 00:48:42,452
Xhafer: Yeah,
:
00:48:43,152 --> 00:48:45,192
Laura: love to see him work some stuff
:
00:48:45,692 --> 00:48:45,872
Xhafer: yeah.
:
00:48:45,872 --> 00:48:48,122
There was a ton of other stuff
in the episode description.
:
00:48:48,122 --> 00:48:50,252
This is one of those ones
that was two paragraphs.
:
00:48:51,002 --> 00:48:52,112
I cut it down to that.
:
00:48:53,022 --> 00:48:54,732
Laura: There's a ton of
stuff in the episode.
:
00:48:54,732 --> 00:48:58,752
I finished that episode
and thought, oh great.
:
00:48:59,682 --> 00:49:04,722
Everyone keeps saying 10
is very dramatic, so, okay.
:
00:49:05,732 --> 00:49:09,572
Xhafer: 10 is very traumatic
before it hits theme.
:
00:49:10,172 --> 00:49:11,642
That's how traumatic it is.
:
00:49:11,802 --> 00:49:12,402
Laura: God.
:
00:49:12,432 --> 00:49:14,592
Okay, well we might
watch that later today.
:
00:49:14,592 --> 00:49:15,372
We shall see.
:
00:49:15,402 --> 00:49:16,962
Holidays are uncontrollable.
:
00:49:16,962 --> 00:49:18,372
Sometimes they do their own thing.
:
00:49:18,876 --> 00:49:22,386
Xhafer: All right, well, before we get to
10, we'll get to nine, but before we get
:
00:49:22,386 --> 00:49:25,026
to nine, we gotta say some thank yous.
:
00:49:25,596 --> 00:49:26,226
Jeremy.

00:49:27,096 --> 00:49:28,056
