Transcript
Xhafer:

hello and welcome to Who Are You?

2

:

This is a reasonably well done sci-fi

watch casters 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 with season

three, episode 19, crossroads part one.

7

:

And we have a little confession

before we get started, listener,

8

:

Laura: Okay.

9

:

Xhafer: I'm just, we just, we

just gotta own it up front.

10

:

If we don't own it up front, it's it.

11

:

There might be conversations that happen

and it will sound weird and stuff.

12

:

Um, we might talk about a thing

now and not talk about it.

13

:

Last week or this week, or next week?

14

:

We're recording

15

:

Laura: you're gonna tell them

about time, about the timing.

16

:

Why me?

17

:

Xhafer: peek back the curtain a little.

18

:

Um, we are recording this

before we record episode 18.

19

:

the sun also rises that Hemingway novel.

20

:

That one.

21

:

Yeah.

22

:

Before we record that one,

we're recording this one.

23

:

Just the circumstance of timing and

getting Ryan and schedules lining up.

24

:

This is what worked for us in order

to maintain our current bubble.

25

:

We're building up a big runway here, so

it's January 25th is we're recording this.

26

:

so, just know that like there's

some stuff that we might, you might

27

:

be like, oh, well, they talked.

28

:

Why didn't we talk about, we might

not talk about a couple of things

29

:

because we might be expecting to talk

about it when we record episode 18.

30

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

31

:

Xhafer: that could be a thing.

32

:

And then we might not get to it and we

won't know until we're recording episode

33

:

20, which we will record after this one.

34

:

Laura: Yes.

35

:

Xhafer: so, just know, like, sorry

if it's weird, if the, if our weird

36

:

time jump thing makes it sound weird

because it's not in chronological

37

:

order for us, but it is for you.

38

:

So I don't know.

39

:

Sorry

40

:

Laura: Also, if we like mis referencing

any current events that might be relevant

41

:

by the time you're hearing this, like,

42

:

Xhafer: that we talked about

in the previous episode even.

43

:

Laura: Yeah.

44

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

45

:

Laura: Yeah.

46

:

Xhafer: or like, oh, did we make a

really funny joke and say we're gonna

47

:

reference something Last episode?

48

:

Well, we haven't done that yet,

so you're waiting another week

49

:

Laura: Yeah.

50

:

Xhafer: Ryan says he wants

to hear Laura's take on fing.

51

:

Sorry.

52

:

You'll get it next episode.

53

:

Laura: I'll get it next time.

54

:

You'll get it.

55

:

Eventually it'll be all.

56

:

Okay.

57

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

58

:

There.

59

:

Okay.

60

:

We let 'em know.

61

:

I don't feel bad anymore.

62

:

Laura: Okay.

63

:

Xhafer: particularly guilty, but

64

:

Laura: I'm glad you got

that off your chest.

65

:

Xhafer: it's a very chronological

show, especially these episodes.

66

:

Laura: Especially right now.

67

:

In the moment we're in.

68

:

Yes.

69

:

S

70

:

Xhafer: Well, yeah.

71

:

Like it's crazy right now.

72

:

And the show is also very like, next

episode, next episode, next episode.

73

:

I'm worried we're gonna sound a little

disjointed or it might impact the

74

:

experience, or we won't say a thing.

75

:

We should have said whatever.

76

:

I don't fucking, you

77

:

Laura: You know more about

it than me at this point.

78

:

Like I'm just living a day at a time.

79

:

Xhafer: Just wait until we

get to the preview for next

80

:

episode, because I wrote my own.

81

:

Laura: I didn't even, I, I didn't

even glance at the screen when the

82

:

episode was over and it came up.

83

:

I was just like, I was

like, Aaron, turn it off.

84

:

Xhafer: I, I took a little bit of what

it said and then I just wrote my own.

85

:

Laura: Yeah.

86

:

Xhafer: and you're gonna have to

hear me say that preview and then

87

:

not talk about it for two weeks.

88

:

'cause of the recording order.

89

:

I wanna say now the goal listener, we

haven't figured out the logistics of this,

90

:

but, if you have seen the show before,

you have an idea about what happens in

91

:

the next episode, which is a big one.

92

:

I would say maybe the

biggest one of the show.

93

:

Laura: Chafer, you're

making me so nervous.

94

:

Xhafer: We're going to try and get it

recorded as close to Laura watching

95

:

it for the first time as possible.

96

:

We're gonna, we're gonna

try and time it so that.

97

:

Watch notes record in very quick

order because I think getting a fresh

98

:

reaction from you about that episode is

gonna make one for really good radio.

99

:

Laura: Oh no.

100

:

Xhafer: But two, there's a couple

of theories you've thrown around

101

:

at certain points of the show.

102

:

Some of that comes to fruition.

103

:

You're gonna fi, you're gonna

find out some stuff, but we'll

104

:

talk about that in two weeks.

105

:

I gotta stop teasing that.

106

:

'cause we still have crossroads

part one to talk about right now.

107

:

Laura: Yeah, and there

is a lot to talk about.

108

:

I think it took

109

:

me

110

:

Xhafer: a big episode.

111

:

Laura: maybe.

112

:

At least an hour and a half, maybe

two hours to get through it with all

113

:

the stopping and note writing I did.

114

:

Xhafer: I, I wanna say I spent about three

and a half hours doing notes today between

115

:

the sun also rises and this episode.

116

:

Laura: Yeah.

117

:

Meaty stuff.

118

:

Xhafer: They're both,

they're both thick episodes.

119

:

Three C's.

120

:

Laura: I gotta say this, and maybe I'm

gonna say it in the previous episode

121

:

and if, sorry if I do say it twice,

listener, but you know, we discussed

122

:

that the, some details of the Final

five in the last episode we recorded

123

:

and you told me that all of the Final

five are somebody we've seen before.

124

:

Xhafer: Yes.

125

:

Laura: So my, my theory I had been

working in my head was like, well, if

126

:

there's one we haven't seen, this is the

last chance we could introduce somebody.

127

:

It could be Baltar's

lawyer, it could be one.

128

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

129

:

' Laura: cause he seems like he's gonna

be a big deal and I gotta say that.

130

:

If you had to go down that route,

they got the perfect actor.

131

:

Xhafer: Mark Shepherd's so good.

132

:

Laura: Mark Shepherd is so good.

133

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

134

:

he's so good.

135

:

Roma Lampkin will probably talk about

this ne next episode for recording.

136

:

But last episode for the listeners

while, and actually threw this in

137

:

spoiler chat today, I found out

today that the character of Roma

138

:

Lampkin holds a very distinct honor,

139

:

Laura: oh yeah.

140

:

Xhafer: they are, to my knowledge,

the only Reimagined series

141

:

character who was later introduced

into original series Cannon.

142

:

Laura: Huh?

143

:

How does that work?

144

:

Xhafer: So after the Reimagined

series had ended for the 30th or

145

:

40th anniversary of the original,

146

:

Laura: Uh.

147

:

Xhafer: 30th, they did a comic

series that continued to show like

148

:

Battle Star 1980 had never happened,

149

:

Laura: Ah,

150

:

Xhafer: and,

151

:

Laura: a good choice, I hear.

152

:

Yeah.

153

:

Xhafer: and in that they introduce

a quorum of 12 member Romo who

154

:

looks exactly like Mark Shepherd.

155

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

156

:

Xhafer: He's a little bit character.

157

:

He's like in like three panels

or something, but it's a fun

158

:

little distinction, you know?

159

:

It's like that's a cool thing to be,

or the reimagined character who made it

160

:

back into the original series Cannon,

161

:

Laura: Yeah.

162

:

That like, somebody was so

impressed they put you in here.

163

:

I mean, how could you not be?

164

:

I think that if, if I'd had to s sneak

in another silo, this would've been the

165

:

way I would've done it with this guy.

166

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

167

:

Laura: Just amazing.

168

:

But there's a lot, I'm sure we chewed

on with that in the last episode, so

169

:

you wanna get into it?

170

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

171

:

Let's get into it.

172

:

We open.

173

:

On Rosalyn in the COBOL opera house,

174

:

Laura: Oh, do, do we wanna

talk about the last time on?

175

:

Xhafer: The last time on is mostly a

recap of President Gaas on New Caprica

176

:

with a little bit of Ty and Ellen.

177

:

Was there anything new in there?

178

:

I don't remember.

179

:

I, I think everything was there.

180

:

Laura: I don't think we had any

sneaky stuff in this last time on.

181

:

I think it was just like we needed

you to remember about SE that Deanna

182

:

selected a bunch of people for

execution and what happened to Ellen,

183

:

that Lampkin is gonna be a big deal.

184

:

Lee has taken the job of defense.

185

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

186

:

so we open on Roslyn in the COBOL

opera house chasing after her.

187

:

We see Athena is also chasing after her.

188

:

But a six gets to her before

either of them, and then Rosalyn

189

:

wakes up in a cold sweat.

190

:

Laura: You wanna know how

like slow a visual processor?

191

:

I am.

192

:

Sometimes, like this episode opens,

Rosalyn is wearing a very nice

193

:

theater jacket and like, she's like,

she's going to the opera that night.

194

:

Right.

195

:

And so they have straightened her hair.

196

:

Out completely.

197

:

When every other time in the show we

have seen Wavy Rosalyn Locks and I

198

:

had to pause and look really closely

to make sure that was Rosalyn.

199

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

200

:

Laura: just straightening her

hair was enough for me to be

201

:

like, wait, wait a second.

202

:

Who is that?

203

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

204

:

Laura: it seems like when hair

is running around, she's running

205

:

toward like going into the theater.

206

:

Yeah.

207

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

208

:

Laura: And sees the six and

she's just happy, like running

209

:

around and giggling and runs

210

:

into six's arms.

211

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

212

:

Laura: Yeah.

213

:

It's not like, it doesn't seem

sinister that six is taking her.

214

:

but it definitely has like an

overtone from all the other times.

215

:

We've heard six talk about.

216

:

Our baby with her and Gais or six PT

at least talk about this, that like, I

217

:

don't know that six has great intentions

for the offspring of Athena and Hilo.

218

:

I'm very worried about this.

219

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

220

:

You should

221

:

Laura: six pt.

222

:

I don't know if it's six or six pt, but

223

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I mean, hard to uh,

six PT maybe only exists for Gaas.

224

:

So, and this is Rosalyn's dream, so.

225

:

Laura: Yeah.

226

:

I don't know.

227

:

I don't know what to make of it,

228

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

229

:

Laura: back in the Opera house.

230

:

Xhafer: Yep.

231

:

GATA updates the dad mural.

232

:

They only have a dozen or so more

jumps until they hit the nebula

233

:

from the IA Jupiter two-parter

234

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

235

:

Xhafer: that they've been heading to.

236

:

There are no cylons trailing behind

them, but we're gonna have a Raptor

237

:

wait another six hours just in case.

238

:

Laura: This is where we establish

the episode's ticking clock, which

239

:

always makes me fucking nervous.

240

:

Xhafer: should,

241

:

Laura: anytime there's a ticking clock.

242

:

Xhafer: anytime they're like,

oh, just hang out a little

243

:

bit longer, just in case.

244

:

Of course, something's

gonna fucking happen

245

:

Laura: Yeah.

246

:

Oh no.

247

:

Xhafer: In reality, he probably

says this like every two days,

248

:

Laura: Yeah,

249

:

just a little longer.

250

:

Just,

251

:

Xhafer: us him saying it

when it's gonna be a thing.

252

:

Laura: well, and we only know the

incremental contribution to this.

253

:

He says they're gonna wait six more hours.

254

:

How many hours are they

waiting originally?

255

:

Is it like three hours

or is it like 24 hours?

256

:

Like,

257

:

Xhafer: it is six as

established by racetrack in the

258

:

Laura: oh, she says so.

259

:

Xhafer: She's all like, we're

here for 12 hours this time.

260

:

So

261

:

Laura: okay.

262

:

I missed that part.

263

:

I'm glad they gave it to us though.

264

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

265

:

No theme, no survivor count this episode.

266

:

Laura: Yeah

267

:

we're gonna get that later.

268

:

Xhafer: it's it's a long episode.

269

:

So they just didn't do a theme.

270

:

They do the, the credits in the bottom.

271

:

Laura: Oh wait.

272

:

They give us a survivor count,

but they give us a different

273

:

survivor count later in the

274

:

Xhafer: We'll talk about

that when we get there,

275

:

Laura: Okay.

276

:

Xhafer: Because it's not wrong ish.

277

:

It is different, but there's a reason.

278

:

alright, so we're at Joe's Bar

and Ty is fucking with the radio.

279

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

280

:

Xhafer: hears the faintest music and

Anders hears it for a second too.

281

:

Anders is hanging out

with the pilot trainees.

282

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

283

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

284

:

Hanging out

285

:

Laura: Yeah, he's got, he's got cix.

286

:

They seem to be cozy.

287

:

Xhafer: Did you catch what he was wearing?

288

:

Laura: I didn't.

289

:

Xhafer: Oh.

290

:

Hmm.

291

:

Huh.

292

:

Laura: Do I need to go back and do that?

293

:

Xhafer: I think they tell us next episode.

294

:

But he's one he's referred to

as a nugget and he's wearing

295

:

the same greens as celick.

296

:

Laura: Oh, so he's gonna

be a pilot trainee too.

297

:

Xhafer: That is where it

appears to be heading.

298

:

Laura: Interesting.

299

:

Okay.

300

:

I kind of wondered why he wasn't

like doing something like more

301

:

Xhafer: So I think they decided on this

and then they rewind it a little bit.

302

:

Um, but there's more of it next episode,

303

:

Laura: mm-hmm.

304

:

Because, you know, he's been

with the fleet now for a while

305

:

and it, it makes sense like.

306

:

On New Caprica, he was doing something

else, presumably, and then he was

307

:

also resisting, like I presume he

had a day job and then resistance

308

:

Xhafer: Well his day job was Pyramid.

309

:

He's

310

:

a

311

:

Laura: Oh, okay.

312

:

Xhafer: pro sportsman.

313

:

Laura: No, I mean like on new caprica.

314

:

Xhafer: Oh yeah.

315

:

He probably did something on new

316

:

Laura: Like something that

covered the fact that he was also

317

:

resisting the whole time or you

know, once the silent showed up.

318

:

But it just seems really like pro

sportsmen would be very useful in

319

:

a military setting and that like

they know collaboration very well

320

:

and have some strategery abilities.

321

:

And then also like if you

need a good face for stuff,

322

:

Xhafer: well, I

323

:

Laura: got it.

324

:

Xhafer: he's led troops.

325

:

He's led the Gorilla

resistance on OG Caprica.

326

:

He fought in the

resistance on New Caprica.

327

:

We saw him lead dudes after Lee

made him and like organized a little

328

:

civil civilian militia and stuff.

329

:

Why he would be a pilot

as opposed to a Marine.

330

:

I don't know.

331

:

Except for the fact that then we don't

have to hire a new cast of Marines and

332

:

we can just have him do the thing with

the pilots that we're already paying.

333

:

Laura: Yeah, I, I don't know, but I,

I'm just saying, I, it seems kind of

334

:

almost now that I'm, we're thinking about

it, we're actually thinking about it.

335

:

Like, why, why didn't he join one

of the military operations earlier?

336

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

337

:

Well, and now he gets the whole

carry the torch for star bes thing.

338

:

Laura: Yeah.

339

:

I guess like missing, missing star

bes and trying to fulfill her duties,

340

:

perhaps.

341

:

Hmm.

342

:

Maybe he wants to be

Daddy Adama's new son.

343

:

Xhafer: Maybe

344

:

over on Colonial one, Tori is pressing

the attorney General, I'm guessing

345

:

Laura: The lead prosecutor

is how I called her.

346

:

Xhafer: for sure.

347

:

To add some charges to Baltar because the

president thinks they should be there.

348

:

Laura: Yeah.

349

:

Xhafer: president believes that he's

guilty of genocide, so we want you to

350

:

add genocide to the list of charges.

351

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

352

:

And it's rough because like we, the

audience know that like Yeah, he was

353

:

kind of a big accomplice to a genocide.

354

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

355

:

But, but we know that they,

no one else knows that.

356

:

Even Roslyn doesn't know that she dreamed

357

:

Laura: Yeah.

358

:

Even Rosalyn has got a really

tenuous connection to that

359

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

360

:

Laura: and it's like, but we

know it's true, but that's not

361

:

a legal basis for anything.

362

:

And uh, this prosecutor's

like, yeah, I'm gonna charge

363

:

him with what will stick, not.

364

:

Xhafer: What I have

365

:

Laura: the president wants.

366

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

367

:

Laura: Yeah.

368

:

Really weird scene next.

369

:

That made me wicked uncomfortable.

370

:

Xhafer: yeah.

371

:

Yeah.

372

:

A member of the press goes to visit

Gaas, but instead of questioning, ask

373

:

for a blessing for her child who is sick.

374

:

Hm.

375

:

Laura: that's so weird.

376

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

377

:

Huh.

378

:

It's uh, weird, huh?

379

:

Laura: I don't like it.

380

:

I and Gais and six PT have a

little talk about this and, and

381

:

it does six PT start while he's

trying to get this lady to go away.

382

:

I think she's in the background.

383

:

Xhafer: She's like, right.

384

:

She doesn't speak until this lady's gone

385

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

386

:

' Xhafer: cause he asks her like,

how many this is, and she's

387

:

like, this is the fifth one.

388

:

Plus 30 or 40 letters have been written.

389

:

Laura: Yeah.

390

:

And he's at least, he's like not

sniffing his own butt so hard that

391

:

he like entertains this lady and

392

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

393

:

Laura: like, recognizes that like

this is mental illness maybe that

394

:

she thinks that he can intercede

for with the gods or something that

395

:

he can do something for her son.

396

:

but six PTs like, no, this

is, this is great for you.

397

:

This is big.

398

:

I don't like it.

399

:

She, she was, she says It's great to

be a martyr though, 'cause you'll get

400

:

to live forever in people's memory.

401

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

402

:

Even if they kill you, your

name will live on forever.

403

:

Laura: Weird, weird.

404

:

Xhafer: We see race track and skulls

have that silent lookout duty we were

405

:

informed about as the trial begins and

the prosecution open statement, does

406

:

the math be still my beating heart?

407

:

Laura: I mean, I'm, I like it, I like

this question, but accountants are

408

:

all about how do we measure whatever.

409

:

So I don't know if that's just like

hitting a very specific audience

410

:

or if this is really a well-crafted

'cause it feels like this

411

:

prosecutor is not as flashy as Mr.

412

:

Lambkin.

413

:

So it feels like this is supposed

to be, she is well prepared,

414

:

she's prepared this, but she's

just not as showy as the defense.

415

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

416

:

Laura: I like the math

and let's talk about it.

417

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

418

:

I didn't write any of the numbers down.

419

:

Laura: I did if you want 'em.

420

:

Xhafer: Nah, I mean, they're different

than our survivor counts, but they're

421

:

not because she's referring to the

civilian population the entire time.

422

:

Laura: That's what I thought, because

she said specifically She said

423

:

44,035 people settled on new Caprica.

424

:

So I was like, okay.

425

:

So the people who are on Galactica

426

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

427

:

Laura: and the people who presumably

stayed up in their other ships

428

:

shouldn't be in that number,

429

:

Xhafer: Correct.

430

:

And our survivor count for

last episode was 41,399.

431

:

Laura: huh.

432

:

Xhafer: And you said the,

the current population of the

433

:

fleet is 39,000 something.

434

:

She says,

435

:

it, it is about the IT 2,500.

436

:

We expect the military population to be

from earlier counts because we did this

437

:

math back when they originally got off new

caprica because we got some numbers about

438

:

the new caprica population and then we

got this new survivor count and it seemed

439

:

like things were up, but they were down.

440

:

So we had to talk.

441

:

We talked about it then.

442

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

443

:

Xhafer: And this aligns with that.

444

:

Really well.

445

:

Um, there's a couple ups and

downs, like number of babies

446

:

born on new caprica and stuff.

447

:

There's a handful of things to take

into account that aren't, but by only

448

:

talking about the civilian population

and not the military population, a lot

449

:

of the deaths that we see, like week to

week, our military population deaths.

450

:

Laura: Yeah.

451

:

Yeah.

452

:

As is to be expected in this situation.

453

:

Sure.

454

:

Xhafer: so it lines up well enough

with the numbers we expect the

455

:

military to have without having

specifics on the differences,

456

:

Laura: Yeah.

457

:

Yeah.

458

:

And she specifically told us that 5,197

people died under Baltar's presidency.

459

:

So I think it's probably

a pretty safe assumption.

460

:

Those were all the civilians that

either got executed in detention

461

:

or as a consequence of the.

462

:

Decision to be on New Caprica or

didn't come back from New Caprica

463

:

because we couldn't get everyone out.

464

:

Xhafer: Yep.

465

:

But she makes this clear.

466

:

Baltar is a murderer and deserves to die

for being a traitor to humanity at large.

467

:

There's no punching around that.

468

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

469

:

Xhafer: Lambkin gets up for his

opening statements and agrees changes

470

:

the plea from innocent to guilty.

471

:

And fuck it, let's just kill him

now, because if it's gonna be mob

472

:

justice, there's no need for a trial.

473

:

Laura: Yeah.

474

:

Xhafer: This flashy son of a bitch,

475

:

Laura: He really is.

476

:

I mean, we got hints of this in the

previous episode, what he was gonna be

477

:

like, and my understanding is that he was

a public defender basically on New capa.

478

:

Wow.

479

:

Xhafer: That's what, that's

what Grand Papa dama did.

480

:

Laura: It's interesting 'cause

I have a couple friends who've

481

:

done public defense duty.

482

:

One of them did have a fairly

publicized trial that she had to do.

483

:

but you generally, when you think of

public defense, you think of like,

484

:

let's just try to get you outta here

with as little things as possible.

485

:

And not a lot of grandstanding

necessarily in that more just

486

:

like quick and quiet bargaining.

487

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

488

:

Laura: So wasn't quite expecting this

person from public defense, I guess.

489

:

Xhafer: Well, I mean,

he's a, he's a character.

490

:

Laura: Yeah.

491

:

Truly.

492

:

Xhafer: Lampkin goes on, this

is political persecution.

493

:

This is just the president abusing their

office to go after their enemies because

494

:

she's a sore loser over the election.

495

:

Laura: And we, the audience

know, like gaas is fucking

496

:

dangerous and it's not that but

497

:

not everyone in this room knows that.

498

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

499

:

But

500

:

Laura: So

501

:

no

502

:

Xhafer: owe gaas their lives

because Rosalyn would've just had

503

:

humanity go extinct rather than try

and compromise with the silence.

504

:

And that was a fight.

505

:

They were never gonna win.

506

:

I.

507

:

Laura: There's a, hmm.

508

:

This is a logical fallacy and this

is where I kind of wish I had taken

509

:

logic because we don't have the

counterfactual earth where Rosalyn

510

:

actually was in the position and

actually had to make those decisions.

511

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

512

:

Laura: 'cause you, you're saying this

thing, but we, nobody knows this thing.

513

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

514

:

But you can't prove him wrong

515

:

Laura: Right.

516

:

Xhafer: because nobody knows the thing.

517

:

Yeah.

518

:

This is this is a fucking, a

political argument, technique

519

:

that is used constantly.

520

:

That fucking drives me crazy.

521

:

'cause

522

:

Laura: And it's a logical fallacy.

523

:

I'm pretty sure.

524

:

Hey, if you listener, if you w

know your logical fallacies and you

525

:

know exactly what this is, pop in

the discord and freaking tell me

526

:

'cause it's gonna bug bug me a lot.

527

:

Xhafer: Is it the Straumann

who doesn't exist?

528

:

Is that the logical fallacy?

529

:

Laura: maybe, maybe.

530

:

I saw this really cool set of memes

once and I saved it somewhere, but I

531

:

don't know where, so it's useless to me.

532

:

That was like referees, listing

the logical fallacies so you could

533

:

throw them at comments, but I'm not

online enough to actually do that.

534

:

Xhafer: five bay ships jump in

as our trailing raptor hangs out.

535

:

They get out just in time.

536

:

Laura: The missile is like this close.

537

:

You guys

538

:

Xhafer: Oh yeah.

539

:

Like

540

:

that missiles tickle in that, that raptor.

541

:

Laura: Yeah.

542

:

I have a question about this

'cause it wasn't clear to me,

543

:

or maybe I missed something.

544

:

Did they make it back?

545

:

Did did we actually hear from them?

546

:

Okay.

547

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

548

:

They make it back.

549

:

Laura: Okay.

550

:

Because I was like, I feel

like people should, should be

551

:

more worried than they are.

552

:

Xhafer: Nah, they don't

kill racetrack like that.

553

:

Laura: No.

554

:

Okay.

555

:

Yeah.

556

:

Not offscreen, death for racetrack.

557

:

Okay.

558

:

Xhafer: no

559

:

Laura: the fact that, that they.

560

:

got found, I guess doesn't

seem as concerning to everyone

561

:

yet as I think it should.

562

:

Xhafer: Well, they're way behind.

563

:

This isn't like a 33 situation.

564

:

Laura: Yeah.

565

:

Okay.

566

:

So they don't know how many jumps

are in between this raptor and

567

:

where the fleet actually is.

568

:

Xhafer: yeah.

569

:

They're doing several a day.

570

:

They say they're like three, or they're

like three or four days out right now from

571

:

the Buler, and it's 12 jumps, so they're

already jumping every couple of hours.

572

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

573

:

Xhafer: So.

574

:

Laura: Okay.

575

:

I'm a lot more worried about this

'cause I know how narrative drama works.

576

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

577

:

As you should.

578

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

579

:

Mm-hmm.

580

:

Xhafer: we are in CIC where Adama suggests

searching the ships for silent signals.

581

:

And hey, maybe Caprica six

will help them to save hero.

582

:

Just, just fucking ask Ty.

583

:

Laura: Yeah.

584

:

Xhafer: Rosalyn

585

:

Laura: Rosalyn's idea.

586

:

Adama seems a little bit dubious

as well, but he does say Ty

587

:

like, Hey, go, go talk to her.

588

:

Go ask.

589

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

590

:

Laura: And then we get an

interesting moment as Lee is

591

:

standing around this table with them.

592

:

'cause he is still CAG

593

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

594

:

Laura: that he kind of

sniffs Rosalyn's tea.

595

:

Xhafer: He smells something.

596

:

He's like, that's weird.

597

:

Smells her tea.

598

:

Yep.

599

:

That'll come back later.

600

:

Laura: So We sent Ty down to deal with the

six, which is just like not a good idea.

601

:

Xhafer: Of the people descent.

602

:

Laura: Yeah.

603

:

Maybe they should have sent Athena.

604

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

605

:

Laura: I mean, Athena would

be salient enough to remind

606

:

her that, like, remember Hara.

607

:

and six tells Ty that in their last

encounter before she left the Cy ship,

608

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

609

:

Laura: They discovered that the

fuel ship, the Tillium refiner

610

:

has a unique signature and they've

probably found a way to track that.

611

:

Xhafer: Something's going on

with that Tillium refiner.

612

:

Laura: I don't know that this is true.

613

:

Xhafer: Well, it's

confirmed in this episode.

614

:

Laura: Well, there is a unique signature.

615

:

Sure.

616

:

Xhafer: Oh, okay.

617

:

Laura: But I don't know that that's

how the cys are tracking them.

618

:

Xhafer: Okay.

619

:

What do you think's

620

:

Laura: I wondered, I told

Erin, I was like, what if the

621

:

silences are tracking them?

622

:

'cause we know they're still,

they're still life silence.

623

:

And we've met them.

624

:

So they're in the fleet.

625

:

Right.

626

:

So one of them has some thing

that they're doing, whether

627

:

that's conscious or unconscious,

that is helping them be tracked.

628

:

And six is telling them about

the signature to slow them down.

629

:

I am not sure what that face is.

630

:

Xhafer: Aaron play the maybe Trump.

631

:

Laura: Yeah.

632

:

I don't know.

633

:

I was like.

634

:

I just, I just got a

bad feeling about that.

635

:

Um, but hey, Raus is back.

636

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

637

:

Crock is hanging out.

638

:

He's all like, he's just

taking his pain out on you.

639

:

Don't be intimidated.

640

:

Laura: Yeah.

641

:

And then she gets real shitty with him

642

:

using AKA's information.

643

:

Xhafer: yeah, she taunts

Saul into punching her and

644

:

she punches him right back.

645

:

And then I wrote down, oh si.

646

:

Because I was trying to say so high

and it just became sigh in my notes.

647

:

And that's, that's it.

648

:

Laura: Yeah.

649

:

Xhafer: can send that one home

because that's how I feel about

650

:

this, this scene in general and also.

651

:

Soul tie at the moment.

652

:

Laura: Yeah.

653

:

He's clearly not actually, he, he put

those feelings in a box and he put the

654

:

box away, but he has not resolved any of

those feelings about Ellen because she.

655

:

Had a series of buttons that

Rockus is telling her to

656

:

push, and it worked perfectly.

657

:

So way to go, Ty.

658

:

Xhafer: Yep.

659

:

Speaking of Ty over at the trial, he is

on the stand drunk as fuck, and Lambkin

660

:

just fucking tears him apart.

661

:

Laura: Yeah, it's, it's interesting,

like we, we find out that Lambkin

662

:

knows nothing about this whole thing,

basically because Ty makes the mistake

663

:

of when the prosecutor is questioning

him, mentioning his wife, because he's

664

:

drunk and an idiot, and Lambkin sees

his opening and quickly asks Baltar

665

:

and Lee, Hey, what's up with that?

666

:

what happened to her?

667

:

And Balter is like, I don't know.

668

:

I know she was working for one of

the cys and Lee's like, I don't

669

:

know, we just presumed she died

in the Escape in the Exodus.

670

:

And he's like, well, I'm

just gonna fucking ask him.

671

:

Xhafer: Yep.

672

:

Laura: I'm just gonna keep

asking this drunk motherfucker

673

:

until he says something.

674

:

Xhafer: And he confesses to killing Ellen

and blames Baltar for making him do it.

675

:

Laura: Yeah

676

:

Xhafer: he keeps ranting.

677

:

He hears the song a couple of

times from the radio and it's

678

:

ranting, and everyone's all like,

what the fuck is he talking about?

679

:

Laura: this is not good.

680

:

Yeah.

681

:

Okay.

682

:

We gotta talk about

this song for a second.

683

:

Do you wanna do it now?

684

:

You wanna do it later?

685

:

Xhafer: We can do it now.

686

:

Laura: I'm kind of

worried about this song.

687

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

688

:

Laura: I was like, huh.

689

:

I gave Aaron a couple of theories.

690

:

Do you wanna hear 'em?

691

:

Xhafer: yeah, I do.

692

:

Laura: You want 'em now

or you want 'em later?

693

:

Xhafer: Oh, I want 'em now.

694

:

Laura: Okay.

695

:

We see Ty is messing with

this radio first in the bar,

696

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

697

:

Laura: and it's not clear if he's

trying to make the song happen or not.

698

:

He's just messing with the radio.

699

:

But Anders is like, oh, you almost had it.

700

:

You almost had it.

701

:

And Cix is like, what

are you talking about?

702

:

And he's like, there's a song.

703

:

He, he almost had it just go back

a little and Cel is like, whatever,

704

:

I'm gonna go play some more ski ball.

705

:

And now Ty is hearing it a lot and I

think it seems like Tori hears it as well.

706

:

And if we are going with my

Anders as a asylum theory.

707

:

Xhafer: We're expounding on that.

708

:

Okay.

709

:

Laura: if we're expounding on that,

710

:

that would mean I got some

of the silences wrong.

711

:

If, if only silence can hear this song.

712

:

Xhafer: Okay?

713

:

Laura: it could be, I was like, okay.

714

:

The, there's a couple other

things that are happening, right?

715

:

We, we've got ty like disintegrating.

716

:

We're gonna get into like,

Tori's kind of losing her edge.

717

:

We don't know

718

:

anything about

719

:

Xhafer: she looks real fucking

tired at the end of this episode.

720

:

Laura: Yeah.

721

:

Andrew seems fine though.

722

:

He seems fine.

723

:

Like I mean, is it just a

side effect of being a mbo?

724

:

We're just fine.

725

:

Xhafer: He's just fine.

726

:

Laura: Yeah.

727

:

I don't

728

:

Xhafer: I mean, he, he had

a broken leg last episode.

729

:

Laura: That's true, but I mean,

730

:

it.

731

:

Xhafer: about that.

732

:

Real quick.

733

:

Laura: But he's, he's not deteriorating

in the way that these other two seem

734

:

to be like, sort of deteriorating.

735

:

Xhafer: melting.

736

:

Yeah.

737

:

Laura: Yeah.

738

:

Xhafer: It's bad.

739

:

Laura: it's like, man, if, if this is,

if this music is some sort of signal

740

:

that we've got silent things going on,

and the music is trying to tell me that,

741

:

yes, you are right about Anders, you were

wrong about Tori, and if Ty is asylum,

742

:

I, I don't know how I feel about that.

743

:

I feel like that might not be one of

the most interesting choices in my head,

744

:

Xhafer: okay.

745

:

I'm here.

746

:

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that

747

:

Laura: but

748

:

Xhafer: it would appear like

all, everything consistent

749

:

that we know about Right.

750

:

Tying a damico way back,

751

:

Laura: Yeah.

752

:

Mm-hmm.

753

:

Xhafer: so that would, that's fucky right?

754

:

Laura: Yeah.

755

:

So either you have a, a silent

model that's actually been around

756

:

an extremely long time, or you took

a real person and replaced him.

757

:

Xhafer: Okay.

758

:

Laura: But the silos also

don't really understand love.

759

:

And I was like, boy, if there's a

relationship that has problems with

760

:

love so, and Ellen Tai might be it.

761

:

Like, what a, what a toxic combo.

762

:

So, I don't know.

763

:

But I was like, maybe there's just another

reason he can hear it like something else.

764

:

And.

765

:

It's driving him mad, or maybe it has

nothing to do with silent activation or

766

:

something

767

:

Xhafer: mean, your whole silent

thing right now is hinging solely

768

:

on you believe Anders to be a

silent That's the basis of this.

769

:

I just wanna, I just wanna

make sure that's the foundation

770

:

that we're building upon here.

771

:

Right?

772

:

Okay.

773

:

Laura: Yeah, it's, we're building on

the Anders Foundation, the fact that

774

:

he detected this song, the fact that

the song seems important and other

775

:

humans have not acknowledged it.

776

:

Um, that's kind of the foundation

of the theory, but it could

777

:

be all built upon sand.

778

:

It could be nothing there.

779

:

So I don't know.

780

:

I have a feeling I'll find out

something in the next episode,

781

:

which I can't watch for a while.

782

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

783

:

So,

784

:

Laura: Ugh.

785

:

Okay, so Ty is hearing

stuff falling apart?

786

:

Yeah.

787

:

And this is not a good like, opening

witness if he's the first witness.

788

:

Uh, Oh.

789

:

Xhafer: it's not good.

790

:

And the follow-up witness is also not

great because on the stand we get Rosalyn

791

:

Laura: oh, we have the bar

scene with Tori in between.

792

:

Xhafer: Oh, yeah, yeah.

793

:

Laura: It was sooner than I thought.

794

:

Okay, so

795

:

Xhafer: I just assumed that

that was talking about that.

796

:

Laura: sorry.

797

:

Let's describe what actually happens.

798

:

'cause it, it, I do note that Tori is

getting a drink and she's like really

799

:

watching Anders for some reason.

800

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

801

:

Laura: And then the music is happening.

802

:

And I, I don't know, Tori, Tori doesn't

know what she wants to drink, so

803

:

does she really know why she's there?

804

:

Like she's,

805

:

Xhafer: she's having a

rough go of it clearly.

806

:

Laura: a rough go of it.

807

:

Xhafer: So I mean, it could just be

like, you want a little night cap, maybe

808

:

a little something to help you sleep,

but, but a little bit of Buffalo trace.

809

:

That was in my CBDT.

810

:

I just finished, you know,

811

:

Laura: Yeah.

812

:

I,

813

:

Xhafer: you know, like half a shot, just

a little bit thin, the blood a little.

814

:

Laura: I, I, I can't tell if all of this

drinking everyone is doing is because

815

:

we're under a lot of stress or something,

like we're silos who are falling apart,

816

:

like we're losing our ability to cover

for ourselves or something is cracking.

817

:

And like if we had, if we were all.

818

:

Sleeper agents, like something's starting

to crack and so we're drinking conflicts

819

:

in our programming are coming up.

820

:

I don't know.

821

:

Xhafer: I mean, it's a lot

of conjecture right now,

822

:

Laura: Yep.

823

:

Xhafer: which I mean makes for

interesting radio, if nothing else.

824

:

Laura: I'm looking for

patterns with my brain,

825

:

Xhafer: Pattern seeking

brain-like pattern,

826

:

Laura: like pattern.

827

:

Must have

828

:

Xhafer: oh god.

829

:

Yeah, I mean, I get that

830

:

Laura: It'll be that there's no

patterns and there's no order in the

831

:

universe and it's all just chaos.

832

:

Xhafer: maybe.

833

:

I mean, that would be a theme of the show.

834

:

Like if that, if, if it wanted to do

that, that could be a theme of this show.

835

:

Laura: Yep.

836

:

Xhafer: But I don't know, for a show

where they have all of this has happened

837

:

before and all of it will happen again.

838

:

Set a bunch.

839

:

Maybe they like their patterns.

840

:

Laura: Maybe we like patterns.

841

:

Xhafer: Ron

842

:

Laura: I won't know.

843

:

Xhafer: a patterns guy.

844

:

Laura: I won't know for a while.

845

:

It's okay.

846

:

Xhafer: so we get Roslyn

on the stand next.

847

:

She tells everyone about the death order.

848

:

That guy is signed in Louise's quarters.

849

:

Romo and Baltar are talking

about ways to discredit Rosalyn

850

:

and Lee like sits on his hands.

851

:

Right.

852

:

Like we know he's suspecting

Roly and his back on Kamala, and

853

:

honestly, Kamala would've saved

us from this whole mess with the

854

:

president's enemies on trial thing.

855

:

Anyways,

856

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

857

:

Yeah.

858

:

Xhafer: that was a, that

was a modern politics joke.

859

:

That was a,

860

:

Laura: Yeah, I really like the

way these like dovetail together.

861

:

I think they're really be beautiful.

862

:

I mean, I don't like it because like,

863

:

I would like to not be

in this timeline, but

864

:

Xhafer: Oof.

865

:

Yeah.

866

:

Laura: I would like to be

in the counterfactual earth.

867

:

Please.

868

:

Yeah, no Lambkin to borrow a term from

Terry prt really breaks out the old ology

869

:

on Lee and, says uh, you, you, the way

you're fucking sitting over there, I can

870

:

tell, you know, something I fucking need.

871

:

And Gaas is a petulant child about this.

872

:

'cause the, when Lambkin calls it

out, GAAS can see it too, and just

873

:

starts like screaming at Lee, which.

874

:

Would never work.

875

:

But Lambkin figured out Lee's buttons,

876

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

877

:

Laura: so he is like, we can

really uh, stick it to your dad.

878

:

And also, you know, you believe in the

system and the system relies on this sort

879

:

of thing, so you should really tell me

880

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

881

:

Laura: what it is.

882

:

And yeah.

883

:

Lee gets trapped in the hydrology logic.

884

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

885

:

He doesn't say it, but he's

thinking it really loudly.

886

:

Laura: Yeah.

887

:

Yeah.

888

:

We're not gonna get it just yet, but,

889

:

Xhafer: yeah.

890

:

Laura: Well, we get a DMA taking Ty home

and Ty is even more drunk, I think like.

891

:

It kind of seems like, 'cause Adama

doesn't seem totally sober either.

892

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

893

:

Laura: Like they, the trial ended

and they both went to the bar.

894

:

Xhafer: I, I mean, I think they

went to Bill's quarters, but yeah.

895

:

Laura: Yeah.

896

:

Okay.

897

:

Yeah, you're probably right.

898

:

Xhafer: Is there a

deleted scene on this guy?

899

:

I think I checked already.

900

:

There wasn't one,

901

:

Laura: okay,

902

:

Xhafer: at least not one that had a

noteworthy entry, like last episode did.

903

:

Laura: yeah, It seemed like they are both

drunk now and Adama's like doing the thing

904

:

where he is like taking off Ty's boots so

he doesn't mess up his bed and whatever.

905

:

And he is telling him like, Hey, we've,

we found that signature that the six

906

:

was talking about, and we're nine jumps

away, but we're gonna have to fix this.

907

:

So that'll take us three days.

908

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

909

:

Laura: The clock is ticking

and it's making me anxious

910

:

Xhafer: it should.

911

:

A hundred percent.

912

:

It should.

913

:

Laura: and I really think

it's a ruse, but anyway.

914

:

Uh

915

:

Xhafer: It's not,

916

:

Laura: huh

917

:

Xhafer: it's not.

918

:

Laura: It's not a ruse.

919

:

Okay.

920

:

Xhafer: Oh, this ticking

clock is gonna tick so loud.

921

:

Laura: Oh no, I, I don't

mean the clock is a ruse.

922

:

I mean the,

923

:

Xhafer: Oh, no.

924

:

the,

925

:

countdown, like the actual, the

actual countdown clock, the, they

926

:

keep giving us the time and it

keeps getting smaller and smaller.

927

:

Laura: Yeah.

928

:

No, I think, I think the ruse is that

like, oh, you have to stop and fix

929

:

this thing because I think, I think

the tracking might be something else.

930

:

Xhafer: Oh.

931

:

Well, they don't even do that plan.

932

:

As we find out later in the episode.

933

:

Laura: Yeah.

934

:

' Xhafer: cause he

935

:

Laura: They, they do pivot.

936

:

Okay.

937

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

938

:

Laura: They start to pivot.

939

:

Okay.

940

:

Because we don't get a lot of episode

after the pivot is proposed, I think.

941

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

942

:

It's like an offhanded comment from

Gada to Hilo at the end of the episode.

943

:

Laura: Yeah.

944

:

So, Ty is like talking to Adam

Dona about how he can't remember

945

:

how Ellen smelled anymore.

946

:

Xhafer: Well, it's not

that he can't remember.

947

:

It's that he, I mean, maybe he

can't remember, but it's the smell

948

:

of her is gone from her things.

949

:

Laura: Right?

950

:

Right.

951

:

Xhafer: 'cause we've seen

him multiple times, like grab

952

:

her clothes and smell them.

953

:

Laura: Yeah.

954

:

Very sad.

955

:

And so that is gone now.

956

:

And he apologizing, apologizes for

embarrassing Adama on the stand and

957

:

Adama refutes this and says, you can't,

you, you could never embarrass me.

958

:

Or something like that,

959

:

which is kind, but also like

that, that was really bad, Ty.

960

:

That was really bad.

961

:

You should not do that again.

962

:

Xhafer: The Adama's get big mad

at each other in Papa's office.

963

:

Bill is pissed that Lee told Lampkin

about Ty killing Ellen, but he's all

964

:

like, I didn't even know that Dad.

965

:

Laura: yeah.

966

:

Edam knows this right before,

like they've, they had to have

967

:

had this conversation when they

were doing their, their makeup.

968

:

Xhafer: I don't know.

969

:

I don't know.

970

:

Laura: I think Omo knew this

971

:

Xhafer: he, I mean, would, okay.

972

:

Adama knew this witch aama.

973

:

Laura: bill.

974

:

Xhafer: Bill knew that Lee didn't know.

975

:

Laura: No, no.

976

:

Papa Dama knew that

977

:

Xhafer: oh, bill knew?

978

:

Oh, yeah,

979

:

yeah.

980

:

Bill Dominoes.

981

:

He's mad at Lee for telling

Lampkin, but Lee did not know.

982

:

Laura: I believe that, I

believe Lee did not know.

983

:

I think Adama is the only one who knows.

984

:

Bill Adama.

985

:

Papa dama dad.

986

:

Merle knows this because it it when,

when Ty finally sort of cracks on his,

987

:

like bitterness about new Caprica then he

had to have told Adama we never see it.

988

:

But I think he did.

989

:

But I think the fact that the dad

Mell knows this and he's drunk and

990

:

or he's been drinking and he's mad at

Lee, he's kind of conflating their,

991

:

their both, their individuality.

992

:

He's assuming Lee is more of

him than he is, and thinking Lee

993

:

knows things that he knows and.

994

:

Not realizing that, not applying logic and

realizing that no, he doesn't know that.

995

:

Xhafer: I mean, he's also drunk.

996

:

This is right after he was carrying Ty.

997

:

Like he's drunk right now.

998

:

Laura: Yeah.

999

:

And we see him with a drink like,

so he's making a horrible mistake.

:

00:45:33,987 --> 00:45:37,707

And this, this fight comes right after

Lee was like, I think we shouldn't

:

00:45:37,707 --> 00:45:39,687

bother fixing the Tillium ship.

:

00:45:39,717 --> 00:45:46,407

I think we should use it as a

diversion a little bit and keep going.

:

00:45:46,437 --> 00:45:49,707

'cause we're, we don't have

the three days to do this.

:

00:45:50,337 --> 00:45:54,027

And Adama does say, this is a good

idea, I think this is a good idea.

:

00:45:54,027 --> 00:45:59,337

But then he choose Lee out for

something he didn't actually do.

:

00:45:59,757 --> 00:46:03,807

Xhafer: Yeah, and Adama's

like you're a coward.

:

00:46:03,837 --> 00:46:05,037

You have no integrity.

:

00:46:05,787 --> 00:46:08,337

And Lee resigns his commission

over the accusation.

:

00:46:09,062 --> 00:46:09,482

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:46:10,107 --> 00:46:11,697

Xhafer: This is ugly.

:

00:46:12,867 --> 00:46:14,907

Laura: Ugly, ugly,

:

00:46:14,907 --> 00:46:15,267

ugly.

:

00:46:16,377 --> 00:46:19,197

Xhafer: The next day Lee's

in a suit instead of his

:

00:46:19,197 --> 00:46:20,922

uniform in the courtroom when

:

00:46:21,312 --> 00:46:21,432

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:46:22,287 --> 00:46:23,367

Xhafer: he's addressed his major.

:

00:46:23,367 --> 00:46:24,687

He goes, it's Mr.

:

00:46:24,687 --> 00:46:27,765

Adama now, actually not major.

:

00:46:28,785 --> 00:46:31,035

And he goes up to examine Rosalyn.

:

00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,430

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:46:32,430 --> 00:46:33,630

He insists upon this.

:

00:46:33,630 --> 00:46:36,180

He's like, no, no, I need to

be the one who does, does this.

:

00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:42,625

And I think he believes that

because, one of the things the dad

:

00:46:42,625 --> 00:46:47,125

Merl said to him specifically was

that you gave the knife to someone

:

00:46:47,125 --> 00:46:49,765

else and let them stick it in Saul.

:

00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:50,530

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:46:50,875 --> 00:46:54,955

Laura: So he believes he needs to be

the one to stick the knife in Rosalyn.

:

00:46:55,525 --> 00:46:57,197

Xhafer: Yeah, he,

:

00:46:57,287 --> 00:46:58,697

Laura: but it starts out real rough.

:

00:46:58,967 --> 00:47:02,357

Xhafer: he immediately fucks

up courtroom procedure, just

:

00:47:02,357 --> 00:47:03,977

like literally 30 seconds in.

:

00:47:04,487 --> 00:47:06,497

It's all like, he fucks

up, he's not a lawyer.

:

00:47:07,167 --> 00:47:09,174

Lakin's all like, uh,

your Honor, this thing.

:

00:47:09,324 --> 00:47:11,454

And the owner's like gonna let it slide.

:

00:47:11,664 --> 00:47:17,604

And the side eye aama, the

dad role gives the judge for

:

00:47:17,604 --> 00:47:20,604

letting this slide is so strong.

:

00:47:21,372 --> 00:47:21,852

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:47:22,152 --> 00:47:26,232

Well, it's almost like lawyers

go to school for a long time to

:

00:47:26,232 --> 00:47:28,182

learn what to do in this situation.

:

00:47:28,182 --> 00:47:28,302

Huh?

:

00:47:28,832 --> 00:47:29,122

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:47:30,972 --> 00:47:32,232

Laura: It did make me laugh.

:

00:47:32,292 --> 00:47:32,862

Um,

:

00:47:33,777 --> 00:47:34,227

Xhafer: It's good.

:

00:47:34,227 --> 00:47:35,247

He should fuck up.

:

00:47:35,427 --> 00:47:36,627

He should be bad at this.

:

00:47:37,302 --> 00:47:37,392

Laura: mm-hmm.

:

00:47:37,802 --> 00:47:38,092

Xhafer: Yeah,

:

00:47:38,562 --> 00:47:38,862

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:47:39,042 --> 00:47:39,252

Yeah.

:

00:47:39,252 --> 00:47:43,422

It would be really irritating actually

if he just like totally nailed it.

:

00:47:44,127 --> 00:47:44,757

Xhafer: a hundred percent.

:

00:47:45,248 --> 00:47:48,968

Laura: But Lee asks her about

her cancer and the cure,

:

00:47:49,673 --> 00:47:49,853

Xhafer: mm-hmm.

:

00:47:50,528 --> 00:47:54,278

Laura: Which I guess the whole

fleet must know about the half

:

00:47:54,278 --> 00:47:56,018

human, half silent hybrid, huh?

:

00:47:56,108 --> 00:47:56,588

Because she just.

:

00:47:57,503 --> 00:47:58,133

Says it.

:

00:48:00,923 --> 00:48:02,543

She just like says it.

:

00:48:03,448 --> 00:48:03,738

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:48:04,883 --> 00:48:06,863

Laura: And he asked about her Kamala use.

:

00:48:07,573 --> 00:48:10,843

he talks about her having

hallucinations back then when she

:

00:48:10,843 --> 00:48:16,063

was taking it and uses that to like

sort of chip at her credibility.

:

00:48:17,773 --> 00:48:20,473

And then we get this like

really dramatic moment.

:

00:48:21,733 --> 00:48:26,593

He approaches her and she's just

whispering, like, please don't do this.

:

00:48:27,248 --> 00:48:30,968

Which I was like, you know,

everyone can still see you, right?

:

00:48:31,703 --> 00:48:31,993

Like,

:

00:48:34,658 --> 00:48:38,648

seeing you whisper, please don't

do this is gonna be just as damning

:

00:48:38,708 --> 00:48:41,078

as whatever you're gonna say,

:

00:48:42,623 --> 00:48:43,073

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:48:45,476 --> 00:48:46,856

Laura: but he drops the bomb.

:

00:48:47,446 --> 00:48:47,866

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

:

00:48:48,709 --> 00:48:48,929

Yep.

:

00:48:49,429 --> 00:48:52,114

He is all like, you're back on the Kamala.

:

00:48:53,704 --> 00:49:00,330

And she's all like, yeah,

but uh, you gonna ask me why?

:

00:49:01,395 --> 00:49:04,845

Laura: Oh, well first the dad

Merle tries to make him shut up.

:

00:49:05,190 --> 00:49:05,760

Xhafer: Oh yeah.

:

00:49:05,790 --> 00:49:07,050

He's all like, fuck this.

:

00:49:07,050 --> 00:49:08,280

This trial's over.

:

00:49:08,490 --> 00:49:10,560

Like the last time there

was a trial I didn't like.

:

00:49:11,505 --> 00:49:12,405

Laura: Yeah, no.

:

00:49:12,405 --> 00:49:15,458

He's like, this is not relevant.

:

00:49:15,758 --> 00:49:18,158

Get sit your ass down son.

:

00:49:18,158 --> 00:49:22,538

And the other judges are like, um,

I wanna, I think I wanna hear it.

:

00:49:23,408 --> 00:49:25,628

I wanna hear if she's on Kamala again.

:

00:49:26,313 --> 00:49:26,603

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:49:26,918 --> 00:49:32,278

Laura: It seems, seems relevant and

yeah, Lee's trying to just leave it

:

00:49:32,278 --> 00:49:34,078

there, but she's not gonna let it go.

:

00:49:34,674 --> 00:49:37,254

She's like, why do you wanna know why?

:

00:49:38,154 --> 00:49:39,564

It's 'cause my cancers back.

:

00:49:39,564 --> 00:49:40,434

You fool.

:

00:49:42,564 --> 00:49:42,654

Xhafer: Right.

:

00:49:43,524 --> 00:49:45,144

I want you to feel guilty about it.

:

00:49:45,714 --> 00:49:46,194

Laura: yeah.

:

00:49:47,544 --> 00:49:50,124

So, oh.

:

00:49:53,177 --> 00:49:55,187

Uh, But Dee is pretty mad at Lee.

:

00:49:56,387 --> 00:49:56,687

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:49:57,737 --> 00:49:59,927

Laura: This is, this is finally the straw.

:

00:50:00,887 --> 00:50:05,357

She's leaving him because

he's doing this now.

:

00:50:06,917 --> 00:50:09,557

Xhafer: She's like, if the

system can elect tyrants and then

:

00:50:09,557 --> 00:50:13,187

defend them, maybe the system is

broken just like this marriage.

:

00:50:13,487 --> 00:50:13,847

Bye

:

00:50:16,411 --> 00:50:20,191

Laura: Girl, you should have

done this like four episodes ago.

:

00:50:20,371 --> 00:50:21,871

Xhafer: for sure.

:

00:50:22,651 --> 00:50:29,041

Laura: Like, you should have had

some like, dignity for yourself.

:

00:50:30,916 --> 00:50:31,426

I don't know.

:

00:50:31,426 --> 00:50:34,246

I don't wanna judge too hard, but okay.

:

00:50:34,786 --> 00:50:35,506

This seems fine.

:

00:50:36,194 --> 00:50:37,784

This, This seems fine.

:

00:50:40,852 --> 00:50:43,942

Uh, but we gotta do a press conference

now 'cause we've just had this, uh,

:

00:50:43,972 --> 00:50:47,872

bombshell dropped in the courtroom

that rosalyn's cancer is back, back.

:

00:50:48,742 --> 00:50:54,232

Uh, and of course, reporters ask

tough questions as they are want to

:

00:50:54,232 --> 00:50:57,272

do and it makes Tori kind of mad.

:

00:50:57,851 --> 00:50:58,241

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:50:59,651 --> 00:51:01,781

Tori gets very defensive.

:

00:51:02,601 --> 00:51:04,671

She gets dismissed by Rosalyn

:

00:51:05,686 --> 00:51:06,106

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:51:07,486 --> 00:51:07,776

Yeah.

:

00:51:09,351 --> 00:51:09,681

I don't know.

:

00:51:09,681 --> 00:51:14,391

I think this is kind of useful for

Rosalyn, so I know she is like, I'm

:

00:51:16,521 --> 00:51:23,391

upset, but like, I think

there is a, a useful face on.

:

00:51:24,186 --> 00:51:27,906

Someone loses their control and

you maintain yours the whole time,

:

00:51:28,276 --> 00:51:28,696

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

:

00:51:29,286 --> 00:51:36,306

Laura: and you come back and, and own the

room because after Tori is dismissed Karen

:

00:51:36,306 --> 00:51:41,286

asks how long Rosalyn has to live, and

Rosalyn just flips it right back at her.

:

00:51:41,616 --> 00:51:43,176

How long do you have to live, Karen?

:

00:51:43,881 --> 00:51:44,361

Xhafer: Fuck off.

:

00:51:44,361 --> 00:51:48,501

Karen, have you thought about

not being a bitch, Karen?

:

00:51:51,501 --> 00:51:53,271

How long do I have to live?

:

00:51:53,826 --> 00:51:59,226

Laura: How prescient is it of this

writing team to name this woman Karen?

:

00:52:02,526 --> 00:52:02,946

That that

:

00:52:02,951 --> 00:52:04,176

became a whole thing?

:

00:52:05,406 --> 00:52:05,646

Mm-hmm.

:

00:52:06,126 --> 00:52:07,836

This is, this is Karen Prime.

:

00:52:08,241 --> 00:52:09,411

Xhafer: yeah, a hundred percent.

:

00:52:11,211 --> 00:52:14,306

You don't know this yet, but

this is the source of the Karens.

:

00:52:15,126 --> 00:52:15,336

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:52:16,193 --> 00:52:16,583

Yeah.

:

00:52:17,562 --> 00:52:20,832

But yeah, Rosalyn goes and

choose Tori out for this.

:

00:52:20,862 --> 00:52:25,812

She says, you, you've been angry, you've

been distracted, and you look like shit.

:

00:52:28,662 --> 00:52:29,832

Xhafer: Comb your hair.

:

00:52:29,952 --> 00:52:30,792

Yikes.

:

00:52:32,022 --> 00:52:38,652

Laura: And I kind of wish like that,

that had actually been foreshadowed

:

00:52:38,652 --> 00:52:40,722

in an other episodes, but I don't

:

00:52:40,722 --> 00:52:41,022

think it

:

00:52:41,082 --> 00:52:42,972

Xhafer: had gotten Tory for five seconds.

:

00:52:43,377 --> 00:52:43,647

In the

:

00:52:43,812 --> 00:52:44,202

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:52:44,247 --> 00:52:44,907

Xhafer: episodes?

:

00:52:45,372 --> 00:52:45,762

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:52:45,762 --> 00:52:50,442

And that we saw her fumble her papers or

:

00:52:51,402 --> 00:52:57,222

get bitchy or like having

trouble getting her appear?

:

00:52:57,597 --> 00:52:59,007

Xhafer: We just haven't recorded it yet.

:

00:52:59,007 --> 00:53:01,467

And she was fine in

that episode, but yeah.

:

00:53:01,662 --> 00:53:01,992

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:53:02,142 --> 00:53:02,322

Yeah.

:

00:53:02,322 --> 00:53:06,192

Like, as far as I can tell,

in all previous episodes

:

00:53:06,192 --> 00:53:07,722

she looked freaking fine.

:

00:53:07,887 --> 00:53:10,737

Xhafer: Was the hint that she couldn't

find those papers for Lampkin?

:

00:53:12,392 --> 00:53:13,382

Laura: That seemed like they were

:

00:53:13,382 --> 00:53:15,842

trying to make a, just a ruse, you know?

:

00:53:16,817 --> 00:53:19,847

Or just fuck with him, you

know, that that wasn't a very

:

00:53:19,847 --> 00:53:21,917

good hint, if that's the case.

:

00:53:24,473 --> 00:53:27,443

so yeah, she gives her an order

to get it together and you know,

:

00:53:27,443 --> 00:53:28,793

who else needs to get it together.

:

00:53:28,853 --> 00:53:29,813

Fucking sa tie,

:

00:53:31,373 --> 00:53:32,033

Xhafer: Yep.

:

00:53:32,693 --> 00:53:36,893

Laura: he's like hallucinating on the

floor of his quarters hearing the music.

:

00:53:37,073 --> 00:53:37,403

Xhafer: Yep.

:

00:53:38,075 --> 00:53:38,765

We cut over.

:

00:53:38,765 --> 00:53:40,475

Hilo is the XO now.

:

00:53:42,082 --> 00:53:45,952

He and Gata let us know that

the Tealium ship is off on a

:

00:53:45,952 --> 00:53:47,752

different path to be a decoy.

:

00:53:48,022 --> 00:53:50,662

They're gonna fix it and then

it's gonna rejoin the fleet.

:

00:53:51,112 --> 00:53:56,032

So it will lead 'em one way and then cut

directions and be a good distraction.

:

00:53:56,572 --> 00:53:59,932

Uh, but the fleet also isn't

being followed anymore.

:

00:54:01,042 --> 00:54:03,502

They don't say if the tillium freighter

is still being followed, but the

:

00:54:03,502 --> 00:54:05,362

fleet isn't being followed anymore.

:

00:54:05,852 --> 00:54:06,142

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:54:06,622 --> 00:54:08,362

Xhafer: So they assume that it's working.

:

00:54:09,097 --> 00:54:11,737

Laura: Yeah, but Hilo thinks

the air smells like rain.

:

00:54:12,532 --> 00:54:13,192

Xhafer: Yes.

:

00:54:13,282 --> 00:54:16,192

Hilo knows something is

about to change that.

:

00:54:16,192 --> 00:54:19,042

There is a storm on the horizon.

:

00:54:20,753 --> 00:54:26,400

Ty hears the music in the walls and

uh, the camera goes a little crazy.

:

00:54:26,700 --> 00:54:30,135

It does this like wobble thing

as it like backtracks on 'em.

:

00:54:30,370 --> 00:54:30,790

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

00:54:31,410 --> 00:54:31,680

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:54:32,933 --> 00:54:33,353

calling out.

:

00:54:34,028 --> 00:54:34,388

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:54:35,723 --> 00:54:38,151

Xhafer: and that's uh, that's the episode.

:

00:54:40,023 --> 00:54:41,013

How do you feel about this one?

:

00:54:42,648 --> 00:54:46,548

Laura: Well, you did warn me that I would

be upset spaghetti about it and want to

:

00:54:46,548 --> 00:54:48,288

immediately go into the next episode.

:

00:54:48,573 --> 00:54:48,693

I

:

00:54:48,798 --> 00:54:49,018

Xhafer: did.

:

00:54:49,758 --> 00:54:52,788

Laura: don't feel like

super upset spaghetti.

:

00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:54,288

I'm just

:

00:54:54,333 --> 00:54:58,773

Xhafer: didn't re I didn't remember

where this episode ends exactly.

:

00:54:59,253 --> 00:55:01,413

And what happens in this one and

what happens in the next one.

:

00:55:01,413 --> 00:55:02,703

'cause I haven't watched

it in a long time.

:

00:55:03,583 --> 00:55:08,743

So I don't know that I would've changed

that advice, but it just means that some

:

00:55:08,743 --> 00:55:12,583

of the stuff that I thought was going

to happen in the previous or in the next

:

00:55:12,583 --> 00:55:16,603

episode, I thought was gonna happen in

this episode, but most of it didn't.

:

00:55:16,993 --> 00:55:19,873

So it's just all, all Next episode.

:

00:55:20,488 --> 00:55:20,818

Laura: Okay.

:

00:55:20,893 --> 00:55:21,238

I, I

:

00:55:21,343 --> 00:55:22,153

Xhafer: next episode.

:

00:55:22,348 --> 00:55:26,218

Laura: I was like, yeah, I could be

upset spaghetti about the Lee business.

:

00:55:26,953 --> 00:55:29,443

Xhafer: There's a little bit with

Baltar's trial going too well

:

00:55:29,443 --> 00:55:30,703

for him that I thought you'd be

:

00:55:30,868 --> 00:55:33,238

Laura: yeah, that it, that

is a little upsetting.

:

00:55:33,328 --> 00:55:38,848

Um, I guess there's a little too much

Lee in me where I'm like, well, yeah,

:

00:55:38,848 --> 00:55:45,718

that is the system and we don't have a

perfect maybe it's because I'm taking a

:

00:55:45,718 --> 00:55:52,123

theory based class this semester that is

basically like all about, there is no.

:

00:55:53,013 --> 00:55:54,303

Perfect truth.

:

00:55:54,333 --> 00:55:57,573

And every system of measurement has flaws.

:

00:55:57,633 --> 00:56:04,563

And like, um, I'm grappling with like,

you know, we just gotta find the best

:

00:56:04,563 --> 00:56:06,453

system for our goals at the time.

:

00:56:06,453 --> 00:56:12,933

And like, I don't, I don't think I'm

equipped to come up with that on my own.

:

00:56:12,993 --> 00:56:16,263

So like, collective system and whatever.

:

00:56:17,023 --> 00:56:21,463

I, it it's upsetting that

we know Baltar is so bad

:

00:56:22,273 --> 00:56:22,573

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:56:22,723 --> 00:56:27,103

Laura: we're watching like the

people who are trying to describe

:

00:56:27,733 --> 00:56:31,933

the badness that is baltar, like

falling on their faces, doing it.

:

00:56:31,963 --> 00:56:33,343

Like that kind of sucks,

:

00:56:33,733 --> 00:56:34,093

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:56:34,543 --> 00:56:38,653

Laura: Since we have like a

more complete picture of that.

:

00:56:39,103 --> 00:56:39,673

Um,

:

00:56:39,883 --> 00:56:43,213

Xhafer: We saw this prosecutor give really

good opening arguments and then not say

:

00:56:43,213 --> 00:56:44,593

another word the rest of the episode.

:

00:56:45,343 --> 00:56:48,703

Laura: yeah, she talked to Ty for like

a second, but it was mostly Lambkin.

:

00:56:48,823 --> 00:56:49,123

Yeah.

:

00:56:50,623 --> 00:56:51,283

so

:

00:56:51,613 --> 00:56:56,953

Xhafer: from a like acting

standpoint, let Mark Shepherd chew

:

00:56:57,103 --> 00:56:58,843

that scenery as much as he wants,

:

00:56:59,413 --> 00:57:02,833

but from a like story standpoint,

I want more of the other side

:

00:57:03,488 --> 00:57:03,838

Laura: Right?

:

00:57:03,973 --> 00:57:04,483

Xhafer: this trial,

:

00:57:05,308 --> 00:57:05,658

Laura: Right.

:

00:57:05,683 --> 00:57:06,103

Xhafer: so

:

00:57:06,983 --> 00:57:10,793

Laura: So I don't like that

things are going well for the

:

00:57:10,793 --> 00:57:12,893

person we know is a bad person.

:

00:57:15,406 --> 00:57:21,316

I understand why Lee's doing

what he's doing and the dad

:

00:57:21,346 --> 00:57:22,816

mural definitely fucked up.

:

00:57:23,776 --> 00:57:24,076

Xhafer: Yeah,

:

00:57:24,604 --> 00:57:29,404

Laura: but I don't know that

this is gonna be good for Lee.

:

00:57:30,214 --> 00:57:34,082

And yeah, I'm very confused.

:

00:57:34,082 --> 00:57:35,402

I'm so confused.

:

00:57:37,052 --> 00:57:40,952

Xhafer: it's supposed to be

not, you're not, not, you're not

:

00:57:40,952 --> 00:57:43,172

supposed to know what's going on

with some of this stuff right now.

:

00:57:44,767 --> 00:57:49,567

like some of it is there to be

confusing, which is frustrating.

:

00:57:50,227 --> 00:57:55,747

Uh, but I will say most of the things

that you are finding confusing will

:

00:57:55,747 --> 00:57:59,227

not drag out as far as they could.

:

00:57:59,842 --> 00:58:01,192

Laura: I hope because

:

00:58:01,222 --> 00:58:02,662

I got kind of pissed when

:

00:58:02,662 --> 00:58:03,317

that happened.

:

00:58:03,472 --> 00:58:09,592

Xhafer: six episode Deanna arc

thing with payoff way down the

:

00:58:09,592 --> 00:58:10,852

line for some of these things.

:

00:58:10,852 --> 00:58:14,242

Some of these things are gonna

be paying off pretty soon.

:

00:58:14,937 --> 00:58:15,227

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:58:15,802 --> 00:58:16,282

Xhafer: So

:

00:58:16,792 --> 00:58:17,482

Laura: I need that.

:

00:58:17,482 --> 00:58:17,962

'cause

:

00:58:18,077 --> 00:58:18,357

Xhafer: got that.

:

00:58:19,042 --> 00:58:23,062

Laura: it will make me angry

if too much is unresolved.

:

00:58:23,122 --> 00:58:27,511

But, kind of feeling like

we're gonna get some.

:

00:58:29,041 --> 00:58:32,581

Silent reveals this

music is too suspicious.

:

00:58:33,541 --> 00:58:37,861

I was wondering, I was like,

is maybe perhaps the music, the

:

00:58:37,861 --> 00:58:40,081

signal that they're tracking,

:

00:58:40,621 --> 00:58:44,851

like somebody's playing

this music somehow.

:

00:58:45,031 --> 00:58:48,421

And I was, I was very

accusatory toward Gata last

:

00:58:48,421 --> 00:58:49,766

night with my husband.

:

00:58:50,551 --> 00:58:54,301

Like that he's the comms guy.

:

00:58:54,301 --> 00:58:57,421

Like he or he's knows everything in CIC.

:

00:58:57,811 --> 00:58:58,141

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:58:58,291 --> 00:58:58,681

Laura: Like

:

00:58:59,011 --> 00:59:00,331

if if this music,

:

00:59:01,501 --> 00:59:05,791

if this music was some kind of

broadcasts related broadcast

:

00:59:06,271 --> 00:59:08,581

Xhafer: maybe Gada just

has a pirate radio station.

:

00:59:09,781 --> 00:59:10,231

Laura: yeah.

:

00:59:11,641 --> 00:59:15,481

That's Gator's like, um,

relaxing time as he goes.

:

00:59:15,481 --> 00:59:18,451

And he is a DJ on this

underground station.

:

00:59:19,261 --> 00:59:22,261

Xhafer: He was a hundred percent

a DJ at his college campus.

:

00:59:22,741 --> 00:59:23,041

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:59:23,611 --> 00:59:24,241

I believe that.

:

00:59:24,631 --> 00:59:24,931

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:59:24,931 --> 00:59:27,781

Mm-hmm.

:

00:59:29,386 --> 00:59:29,896

Laura: I don't know.

:

00:59:30,758 --> 00:59:32,648

Kinda kind of worried

:

00:59:32,753 --> 00:59:36,863

Xhafer: Jazz, and the name of

his show was Fields with Felix.

:

00:59:38,741 --> 00:59:42,251

Laura: Oh man, God, what is that lady?

:

00:59:42,281 --> 00:59:43,391

Who is that lady?

:

00:59:44,096 --> 00:59:45,116

Xhafer: Who's that lady?

:

00:59:45,371 --> 00:59:46,211

Laura: Delilah.

:

00:59:46,211 --> 00:59:47,351

He was Delilah.

:

00:59:49,901 --> 00:59:52,691

There's, there's gotta be some

listeners who know Delilah.

:

00:59:52,961 --> 00:59:54,131

Even if you don't, you fair.

:

00:59:57,791 --> 00:59:58,631

Just trust me.

:

00:59:59,201 --> 00:59:59,531

Xhafer: Okay.

:

01:00:00,416 --> 01:00:02,621

Laura: I'm glad you've

never called into Delilah.

:

01:00:03,461 --> 01:00:07,571

Xhafer: Yeah, I'm not

familiar, but that's fine.

:

01:00:07,931 --> 01:00:10,104

Um, yeah,

:

01:00:12,084 --> 01:00:17,574

Laura: I have never wanted to Google shit

as bad as with this episode and maelstrom.

:

01:00:18,774 --> 01:00:19,074

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

01:00:19,764 --> 01:00:25,224

Laura: Yeah, I really have had

to suppress an actual urge.

:

01:00:26,707 --> 01:00:35,797

Xhafer: We'll record Crossroads part two

soon and after we do, you can ask me if

:

01:00:35,797 --> 01:00:38,677

it's safe to Google a couple things, and

:

01:00:38,782 --> 01:00:39,072

Laura: Okay.

:

01:00:39,202 --> 01:00:39,782

Xhafer: yes or no.

:

01:00:40,602 --> 01:00:40,892

Okay.

:

01:00:41,797 --> 01:00:42,157

Laura: Okay.

:

01:00:43,222 --> 01:00:45,922

Xhafer: On a scale of one to 12 colonies,

how did you feel about this episode?

:

01:00:47,766 --> 01:00:49,896

Laura: I think the buildup is very good.

:

01:00:49,926 --> 01:00:56,196

Like I want very badly to be able

to watch this episode right now.

:

01:00:56,676 --> 01:01:00,071

Like I wanna go right now

and watch the next one.

:

01:01:00,861 --> 01:01:05,301

Xhafer: Can we record Crossroads

part two before we record episode 18?

:

01:01:08,946 --> 01:01:14,436

Laura: I think because this is a Sunday

night that I'm not gonna get it done until

:

01:01:15,246 --> 01:01:21,156

Friday night maybe, and we'll have to

talk about logistics of that off the pod.

:

01:01:21,816 --> 01:01:22,356

Um,

:

01:01:22,521 --> 01:01:23,481

Xhafer: Yeah, we'll chat on that

:

01:01:23,963 --> 01:01:30,563

Laura: but yeah, I mean, I, mm, I guess

an 11, like I'm on the edge of my butt.

:

01:01:31,268 --> 01:01:32,828

Xhafer: I've got a I down to 10.

:

01:01:33,623 --> 01:01:34,133

Laura: Okay?

:

01:01:34,433 --> 01:01:35,753

Xhafer: I put down 10 now.

:

01:01:36,003 --> 01:01:39,533

We haven't recorded it yet but

last episode was a 12 for me

:

01:01:40,228 --> 01:01:40,648

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

01:01:41,963 --> 01:01:44,273

Xhafer: and I'm pretty sure

next episode's gonna be a 12.

:

01:01:44,543 --> 01:01:46,493

So it's just like the

little sandwich, right?

:

01:01:46,493 --> 01:01:46,583

You

:

01:01:46,583 --> 01:01:50,303

know, it's the sandwich on really good

of bread, but the filling's kind of

:

01:01:50,303 --> 01:01:51,863

like, it's not the star of the show.

:

01:01:51,923 --> 01:01:52,583

And that's fine.

:

01:01:52,948 --> 01:01:53,368

Laura: Mm-hmm.

:

01:01:54,349 --> 01:01:55,429

I'm so nervous.

:

01:01:55,429 --> 01:01:55,819

I'm so.

:

01:01:56,329 --> 01:01:57,949

Xhafer: You ready for

this episode description?

:

01:01:59,209 --> 01:01:59,884

Laura: I guess so.

:

01:01:59,944 --> 01:02:01,174

Yeah, hit me.

:

01:02:01,489 --> 01:02:04,669

Xhafer: Next up, Battlestar

Gala, acta, season three,

:

01:02:05,269 --> 01:02:09,319

episode 20, crossroads part two.

:

01:02:10,198 --> 01:02:13,708

The storm arrives and

the wind begins to howl.

:

01:02:14,292 --> 01:02:17,862

Baltar's trial concludes, and

some lives change forever.

:

01:02:18,702 --> 01:02:23,172

Ty attempts to decipher the music

he's hearing in his head, and Laura

:

01:02:23,652 --> 01:02:27,192

learns why I asked for something

during our crusade coverage.

:

01:02:28,622 --> 01:02:30,962

Laura: I have no idea what that

:

01:02:30,962 --> 01:02:31,442

means at

:

01:02:31,457 --> 01:02:31,617

all.

:

01:02:33,967 --> 01:02:34,087

I.

:

01:02:34,367 --> 01:02:35,867

Xhafer: I'm so excited.

:

01:02:37,501 --> 01:02:38,371

Laura: Okay.

:

01:02:41,989 --> 01:02:42,829

I had a thought.

:

01:02:43,579 --> 01:02:43,849

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

01:02:44,899 --> 01:02:49,759

Laura: Okay, so there's one, one

musical spoiler that I know about

:

01:02:49,759 --> 01:02:51,199

Battlestar Galactica, right?

:

01:02:51,679 --> 01:02:52,339

Xhafer: Oh, okay.

:

01:02:53,179 --> 01:02:57,379

Laura: That at some point all

along the watchtower is referenced.

:

01:02:57,709 --> 01:02:58,489

Xhafer: Oh, did I?

:

01:02:59,089 --> 01:03:00,079

Is it too much now?

:

01:03:00,729 --> 01:03:01,629

Laura: No, no.

:

01:03:02,379 --> 01:03:04,239

It's like, is that the music?

:

01:03:04,779 --> 01:03:08,559

Are they close enough to earth that

they're picking up human music?

:

01:03:09,699 --> 01:03:10,209

No.

:

01:03:10,209 --> 01:03:13,538

I don't want this to be in the

current present day universe.

:

01:03:13,599 --> 01:03:14,288

I don't know.

:

01:03:15,161 --> 01:03:15,371

Huh?

:

01:03:15,551 --> 01:03:17,381

Xhafer: I said maybe

:

01:03:18,364 --> 01:03:19,864

Laura: Surely that's not it.

:

01:03:19,864 --> 01:03:22,774

Surely that's not where all along

the watchtower is referenced.

:

01:03:22,774 --> 01:03:23,974

Surely it's somewhere else.

:

01:03:24,607 --> 01:03:25,147

I don't know.

:

01:03:26,023 --> 01:03:27,193

I guess I'm gonna find out.

:

01:03:27,458 --> 01:03:28,638

Xhafer: you're gonna find out.

:

01:03:30,553 --> 01:03:31,123

Laura: Okie dokie.

:

01:03:31,213 --> 01:03:33,613

Well, I guess we should wrap this baby up.

:

01:03:33,868 --> 01:03:35,488

Xhafer: Well, hey Jeremy.

:

01:03:36,538 --> 01:03:37,438

Jeremy Siegel.

:

01:03:37,678 --> 01:03:39,988

Jeremy Siegel 40 two.bandcamp.com.

:

01:03:40,438 --> 01:03:42,028

Thank you so much for

making our theme music.

:

01:03:42,028 --> 01:03:44,458

We appreciate the hell out of it and

we appreciate the hell outta you.

:

01:03:45,058 --> 01:03:45,503

Laura: Sure do.

:

01:03:45,923 --> 01:03:49,468

And we also appreciate the hell out

of Angry Duck time machine over on

:

01:03:49,468 --> 01:03:51,478

Instagram for doing our podcast artwork.

:

01:03:52,363 --> 01:03:55,903

Xhafer: Aaron, appreciate you for editing

the podcast, doing all the work you do.

:

01:03:56,293 --> 01:04:00,103

I'll try to give you more

drops than maybe next episode.

:

01:04:02,470 --> 01:04:02,740

Laura: Oh yeah.

:

01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:03,820

We didn't drop anything.

:

01:04:04,255 --> 01:04:05,335

Xhafer: Not a thing.

:

01:04:05,515 --> 01:04:06,205

Whoops.

:

01:04:06,460 --> 01:04:09,190

Laura: All those drops are off

Aaron's Dome, if there are any.

:

01:04:10,015 --> 01:04:10,570

Xhafer: In this ep.

:

01:04:10,765 --> 01:04:11,455

A hundred percent.

:

01:04:11,990 --> 01:04:13,945

Now, now now we've pressured him too.

:

01:04:13,945 --> 01:04:15,055

Now he's gotta go and add

:

01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:16,090

Laura: no, no, no, no.

:

01:04:16,090 --> 01:04:16,360

no.

:

01:04:16,420 --> 01:04:18,700

This is a very meaty and serious episode.

:

01:04:18,700 --> 01:04:21,550

If the episode doesn't require

drops, it doesn't require drops.

:

01:04:21,550 --> 01:04:22,120

That's his

:

01:04:22,135 --> 01:04:24,715

Xhafer: I know one person

who will disagree with you.

:

01:04:26,170 --> 01:04:27,640

Laura: Well, Ben's opinion doesn't matter.

:

01:04:31,255 --> 01:04:33,745

Xhafer: Get your own

Battlestar Galactica podcast.

:

01:04:33,745 --> 01:04:34,165

Ben.

:

01:04:34,450 --> 01:04:35,350

Laura: Exactly.

:

01:04:38,065 --> 01:04:40,605

Xhafer: I wanna be a

guest on it Anyways yeah.

:

01:04:40,605 --> 01:04:42,225

And thank you listener.

:

01:04:42,990 --> 01:04:45,330

Thanks so much for joining us,

spending your time with us.

:

01:04:45,330 --> 01:04:46,230

We appreciate it.

:

01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,140

If you really like our podcast,

tell your friends about it.

:

01:04:49,230 --> 01:04:49,890

That's cool.

:

01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,029

That's fun.

:

01:04:51,420 --> 01:04:54,510

You get someone else to talk to you about

it and if you want someone else to talk

:

01:04:54,510 --> 01:04:56,460

to about it, you can hit up the Discord.

:

01:04:56,670 --> 01:04:59,730

'cause there's a group of people

there who want to talk about what

:

01:04:59,730 --> 01:05:02,160

we're talking about, and that's

what we do over in the Discord.

:

01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:02,880

It's a blast.

:

01:05:03,090 --> 01:05:05,279

One of my favorite places on

the internet, a great hang.

:

01:05:05,790 --> 01:05:08,370

Laura: I hope Spoiler Town is

having a lot of fun without me.

:

01:05:08,460 --> 01:05:09,055

I hope they're just.

:

01:05:09,735 --> 01:05:10,425

Excited.

:

01:05:10,890 --> 01:05:13,950

Xhafer: man, spoiler town in particular.

:

01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:20,502

The last week I had to make a

post in there about something

:

01:05:20,502 --> 01:05:22,572

I said that I shouldn't have.

:

01:05:23,757 --> 01:05:25,557

Laura: Oh, but I'm sure

I didn't detect it.

:

01:05:26,412 --> 01:05:30,908

Xhafer: I am pretty proud of
