Transcripts

Xhafer:

Hey, we got a content warning for you this week, listener.

2

:

We'll go ahead and flag suicide,

domestic abuse, infanticide.

3

:

So if any of those things are

gonna be tough to listen to,

4

:

just uh, just skip this one.

5

:

We'll see you next week.

6

:

Laura: Hello and welcome to Who Are You.

7

:

We're a reasonably well done sci-fi

watch cast by a couple of former

8

:

strangers who are now friends and

watching:

9

:

I'm Laura,

10

:

Xhafer: And I'm jair.

11

:

Laura: and it's a big one today.

12

:

Jair.

13

:

Xhafer: It's a big one.

14

:

Um, like last episode preview, I

had added a sentence of all of these

15

:

things that we've discussed in the

preview are not what you're going

16

:

to remember about this episode.

17

:

Laura: Right.

18

:

Xhafer: Very true.

19

:

Um, this is a big one.

20

:

This is the Cali episode.

21

:

Laura: Yeah.

22

:

Xhafer: Which if you have seen Battlestar

Gica before, you know exactly what

23

:

the fuck I mean when I say that.

24

:

And it's also uh, the start

of the silent civil war.

25

:

Right.

26

:

That's this episode.

27

:

That is that next one?

28

:

No, it's this one.

29

:

Right.

30

:

Laura: Yeah.

31

:

Xhafer: They start.

32

:

Good.

33

:

I know you already watched the

next one, so I wasn't too worried

34

:

about a spoiler there, but I

was pretty sure it was this one.

35

:

Laura: Yeah.

36

:

I guess I hadn't in my mind called

it civil war yet, but that seems

37

:

to be what we're building at.

38

:

Xhafer: The, it's definitely

what it is referred to in the

39

:

mythos, so you might not have

that title yet, but that's coming.

40

:

Laura: I definitely thought in

the last episode that we were

41

:

shaping up that six was trying

to genocide half of her, people.

42

:

So yeah, civil war, sure,

43

:

Xhafer: Yep.

44

:

Laura: call it that.

45

:

But lots of crazy stuff in here.

46

:

This is four, episode three.

47

:

And I kind of guess I wasn't

prepared for something.

48

:

So story changing and impactful

and exciting to happen so quickly.

49

:

I thought we'd have a few kinda, I don't

know, filler rep maybe, but not here.

50

:

Xhafer: Not yet, but soon-ish.

51

:

I mean, I don't know that there's, I don't

know that there's an episode that I would

52

:

call filler for the rest of the show.

53

:

There might be, and I'm

forgetting about it,

54

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

55

:

Xhafer: but there's no like.

56

:

Random episodes spent down below with

a cultural group that we've never met

57

:

before and won't meet again afterwards.

58

:

Thing like,

59

:

Laura: Sagittarians?

60

:

Xhafer: yeah, exactly like that.

61

:

That stuff's done.

62

:

At this point, it's gonna be

plot, plot, plot, plot, plot, and

63

:

sometimes the plot will move slow and

sometimes the plot will move fast.

64

:

Laura: And today it felt

heck and fast to me,

65

:

Xhafer: It sure did.

66

:

The season four episode three.

67

:

The ties that bind, man.

68

:

What a lost opportunity to spell tie.

69

:

TIGH.

70

:

I guess it would be the tie

that binds at this point.

71

:

'cause it's just Saul, but like you

could have made that work somehow.

72

:

Didn't we get a punt on his

name in a different episode?

73

:

Title?

74

:

Laura: I think you might be

75

:

Xhafer: Time me up.

76

:

Time me down.

77

:

Yeah.

78

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

79

:

But I don't think that if you spelled

this, if you made it the tie that binds

80

:

that, that's appropriate for this episode.

81

:

That might be next episode.

82

:

'cause we see a lot more of

Saul in the next episode.

83

:

Xhafer: there's not a whole lot of Saul in

this episode, but I just see that episode

84

:

name and I'm all like, ripe for the pun.

85

:

Maybe I've just known Ben too long.

86

:

Laura: No, I like a good word play.

87

:

Xhafer: yeah.

88

:

Laura: we can do that.

89

:

Xhafer: you know that if it was

uh, the tie that binds that Ryan

90

:

would've guessed on this episode,

91

:

Laura: absolutely.

92

:

Xhafer: he's got that history so.

93

:

Laura: has Ryan picked

one for season four?

94

:

Do

95

:

Xhafer: He has.

96

:

Yeah.

97

:

due to the nature of this show and

particularly the tail end of this season,

98

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

99

:

Xhafer: all of our usual suspects

signed up for episodes at the back half.

100

:

So we actually, we don't have a guest

until episode 15 of season four right now.

101

:

And then

102

:

for, uh, 15 to 19.

103

:

we have four guests lined up right now,

104

:

Laura: Oh,

105

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

106

:

So it's gonna be like guest

every week towards the end.

107

:

Laura: That's cool.

108

:

What a, what a way to send it off though.

109

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

110

:

But we open this episode in

Media Resurrection and learn

111

:

that silent society is fractured.

112

:

Laura: Specifically in this

resurrection, caval wakes up and

113

:

boomers starts smooching him.

114

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

115

:

Yep.

116

:

That's, that's a thing that's happening

117

:

Laura: we're doing it.

118

:

Xhafer: and we're doing it.

119

:

Laura: I am confused a little

bit about these resurrections

120

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

121

:

Laura: because like we're being told

at this point, the Cavel, the Simons

122

:

and the Doral are all on the same side.

123

:

Right?

124

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

125

:

Laura: And the Sharon's, the sixes

and the Leos are a different side, so.

126

:

We have one Sharon

Boomer, who is defected,

127

:

Xhafer: Yes.

128

:

Laura: She was shot in the last

episode along with Cavel, right?

129

:

Xhafer: Hypothetically.

130

:

Laura: Yeah,

131

:

Xhafer: I don't know that she was

still, if she was on board at that

132

:

point, she might not have been.

133

:

I don't think we saw her get

shot when Cavel and the Doral.

134

:

Laura: in the same room, but maybe not.

135

:

because if she's in the same room

and they're all getting shot and

136

:

we're all resurrecting, are we all

just resurrecting on different ships?

137

:

Like do we have one ship that's like

all Cavel, Doral, Simons and one

138

:

Sharon for Boomer to resurrect into.

139

:

So they can all be on different

sides, or do we all just take off?

140

:

What?

141

:

I don't, I don't understand.

142

:

Xhafer: I don't think it's

supposed to make sense.

143

:

Ooh, it's silent society.

144

:

What a mystery.

145

:

Um, I think after this episode,

yes, they're on separate ships.

146

:

Laura: Yeah, but I, I would think

the resurrection ships would just

147

:

have like a little bit of every

model, you know, like just in case

148

:

Xhafer: That would make sense.

149

:

Yeah.

150

:

Um, there's a line in here too that's

a little bit of a throwaway where

151

:

caves like, get me back to my ship.

152

:

Like

153

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

154

:

Xhafer: there's kind of like an

implication because there's the one

155

:

Cavel here and there's the other cavel,

and he doesn't want to be on this ship.

156

:

He wants to be on the other one.

157

:

That caves are kind of like

one per ship and the captains.

158

:

Laura: Oh yeah.

159

:

Maybe they can't get

along with each other.

160

:

Xhafer: I don't think they can.

161

:

Laura: Yeah, I could see Cavel

sitting there, like looking at each

162

:

other, being like this fucking guy.

163

:

Oh, but they're just so incredulous

that the sixes would do this.

164

:

Like on earth?

165

:

Why would they.

166

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

167

:

So Kelly gets woken up by Nikki as

we see flashes of her terro fighting.

168

:

When she wakes up from

this crying, he is gone.

169

:

She finds that Joe's napkin in his pants.

170

:

Question, Laura,

171

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

172

:

Xhafer: why does this bar

napkin have four corners?

173

:

Laura: The audacity,

174

:

Xhafer: Right.

175

:

Laura: how very dare,

176

:

Xhafer: Unbelievable.

177

:

Laura: it's a different

kind of paper product.

178

:

I mean,

179

:

Xhafer: It does.

180

:

It is recycled paper.

181

:

Like That's a good question.

182

:

If they had dot matrix printers, do

the corner tabs rip when they pull?

183

:

'cause it's the same idea

as toilet paper, right?

184

:

It's the roll.

185

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

186

:

I, I think you still gotta have the

corners on your toilet paper 'cause

187

:

Xhafer: We get corners a

number of times on paper.

188

:

Sometimes photos have the

corners, sometimes they don't.

189

:

It is not consistent.

190

:

But I just thought it

was a phone call out.

191

:

Laura: Yeah.

192

:

pretty funny.

193

:

Also just like.

194

:

It's a perfectly pristine

napkin in his pants pocket.

195

:

Xhafer: Right.

196

:

Impossible.

197

:

Laura: Like anything that goes

in Laura's pants, pockets has

198

:

at least three creases in it.

199

:

Right?

200

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

201

:

I mean, I would hear an

argument for all of Galactic's

202

:

laundry being dry, clean only.

203

:

Laura: Mm.

204

:

Okay.

205

:

Xhafer: But that doesn't mean that

206

:

Laura: like, if Laura's at

207

:

Xhafer: I.

208

:

Laura: and puts a napkin in her

pocket and goes and sits down

209

:

like that shit is not staying

210

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

211

:

Laura: ire

212

:

Xhafer: and he's not a stand

at the bar kind of guy.

213

:

We've see.

214

:

We see this in the next scene.

215

:

Laura: all the time.

216

:

He's, he's sitting and he's doing the,

like, elbows on the table, like head in

217

:

the hands, like I'm so sad all the time.

218

:

Yeah.

219

:

Xhafer: He's so sad.

220

:

He's so tired constantly.

221

:

And he's there drunk talking to

Tori, and they both look like shit.

222

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

223

:

Yeah.

224

:

Xhafer: Kelly takes Nikki down

to Joe's with her, sees Tori

225

:

putting her hands on her man.

226

:

She yells at him.

227

:

And then PS to theme,

228

:

Laura: Okay.

229

:

So.

230

:

we come to the bar.

231

:

Tyrell is like whining about how

he doesn't know who he is anymore,

232

:

and Tori, Tori is doing this on

purpose it seems like, right?

233

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

234

:

Laura: Like she's stroking Tyrell's arm.

235

:

She's not just like reaching out and

touching him like they're there friend.

236

:

It is full on.

237

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

238

:

Laura: him she likes the way things

are going and the turn everything is

239

:

taking, and Tyrell just has the most

deliberate expression on his face of

240

:

telling her I like things how they are.

241

:

Xhafer: He rebukes real hard.

242

:

Laura: Yes.

243

:

Kelly doesn't get any of that.

244

:

That's audience benefit,

not Kelly's benefit.

245

:

And yeah, that's, that's why she's

like storming away and puking and crazy

246

:

Xhafer: Yep.

247

:

Laura: Um, and we, we do get

like a shot of Tori, like.

248

:

Drunken and smirking to

the camera before theme.

249

:

Xhafer: Tori going full.

250

:

If we don't make at least like air

quotes, if we don't make at least

251

:

one of these, silents a fucking

bastard, then what was the point?

252

:

Laura: Uh,

253

:

Xhafer: Whatever her last name is.

254

:

Um,

255

:

Laura: she's fucking bastard.

256

:

I knew it.

257

:

Xhafer: yeah.

258

:

Yeah.

259

:

survivor Count 39,676.

260

:

No change,

261

:

Laura: No changes.

262

:

Xhafer: changes.

263

:

Laura: exciting.

264

:

Xhafer: We see Rosalyn

getting some space chemo.

265

:

The dad, Merle reads to her from a Mr.

266

:

Mystery slash Noir novel like

we know she enjoys from previous

267

:

conversations in book lens.

268

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

269

:

Xhafer: Lee gets a formal appointment

to the quorum of 12 for Caprica here.

270

:

Laura: Yeah.

271

:

Yeah.

272

:

Xhafer: Uh, Zurich is hanging out.

273

:

I dunno if you noticed

when they're talking.

274

:

Rosalyn's Whiteboard has

a way different number.

275

:

Laura: Oh, I didn't, what does it say?

276

:

Xhafer: has 34,279.

277

:

Laura: Is that the, without military

278

:

Xhafer: That is without, yeah,

that's without 5,397, which is the

279

:

general number of military personnel.

280

:

Currently, without having an

exact hard number on that,

281

:

Laura: that feels like a lot of military

personnel, but I guess maybe you're

282

:

constantly recruiting and what have you.

283

:

Xhafer: battle stars are big

ass ships, and they've had two.

284

:

Laura: Yeah, I don't remember.

285

:

I know we've discussed like that Pegasus

had like kind of a skeleton crew,

286

:

Xhafer: Yeah, but their

skeleton crew was almost:

287

:

Laura: Was it?

288

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

289

:

Laura: All right.

290

:

Xhafer: And then it dwindled down, and I

mean, when they joined, it was a number

291

:

increase of 2000, I think maybe like 1800.

292

:

I'd have to go back and look at

the numbers, but it was a big jump.

293

:

Laura: Yeah.

294

:

Okay.

295

:

Civilian numbers 34,000.

296

:

Xhafer: The Demetrius is being

brought up by the Press Corps and

297

:

mom is pissed, but covers for dad.

298

:

You gotta have a united

front with the kids.

299

:

Laura: Uh Huh.

300

:

Yeah.

301

:

But the Press Corps

seems to know about Kath

302

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

303

:

Laura: least, that she's

304

:

Xhafer: Alive.

305

:

Laura: well, and she's got the Demetrius.

306

:

Uh, Did they know she died?

307

:

Like, was that a big enough news

that it went out, or do they just

308

:

think like, oh, know, careth race

has it and that's normal, or,

309

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

310

:

Laura: I, I think it's implied that they.

311

:

They know something's

weird about Kara, right?

312

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

313

:

Laura: But Demetrius went

away three weeks ago.

314

:

We find that out.

315

:

Xhafer: Yes.

316

:

we cut over to them.

317

:

Kara is chasing her visions.

318

:

On this ship we see Gata,

Celick, halo, Athena, and Anders.

319

:

Question one.

320

:

Where the fuck is their daughter?

321

:

If they're both here,

322

:

Laura: Ah, yeah.

323

:

Xhafer: fuck's up with that.

324

:

That seems dumb.

325

:

Laura: Mm.

326

:

This seems, actually, this is breaking

my, this is, I cannot believe this.

327

:

I cannot believe that Hilo and

Athena would go without hair.

328

:

Xhafer: That they would either go

without hair or that they would

329

:

both go on the same mission.

330

:

You'd think you would not do

that from a like parenting

331

:

perspective whenever possible.

332

:

Laura: especially after

they were separated from

333

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

334

:

Laura: that they were for, so as

335

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

336

:

Laura: you are not gonna get both

of them going on this goddamn

337

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

338

:

I mean, send Athena.

339

:

That makes sense.

340

:

Like, there might be reasons to send her.

341

:

Sending Hilo makes very little sense

given he's the second in command

342

:

of the ship effectively right now.

343

:

He like fills in for Saul

on after hours and stuff.

344

:

He's the exo.

345

:

Sometimes we see him doing important

things around the ship pretty regularly,

346

:

so like, what the fuck is he doing there?

347

:

Laura: Yeah.

348

:

I mean, the way Hilo

has been empathetic to

349

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

350

:

Laura: I, I believe him a

little more almost than Athena

351

:

Xhafer: I think he would

volunteer before Athena,

352

:

Laura: Oh yeah.

353

:

Xhafer: I also think it makes the

least amount of sense to let him go.

354

:

Laura: And Anders makes a ton of

355

:

Xhafer: Yeah, yeah.

356

:

Yeah.

357

:

St.

358

:

Anders.

359

:

Laura: got Anders,

360

:

Hilo, Athena, and ga.

361

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

362

:

Laura: Those are all

important people to go acta.

363

:

Xhafer: Well, which is question two.

364

:

Why the fuck did you send all the

pilots on the thing with no vipers?

365

:

Laura: I was about to say that.

366

:

Like we, we were running out of pilots

and we finally got like some new nuggets,

367

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

368

:

Laura: and, Anders Lee's out.

369

:

Helo could be a pilot even if he's

370

:

Xhafer: like on Galactica.

371

:

They've got what racetrack right now.

372

:

Laura: yeah.

373

:

What is this?

374

:

What are we doing?

375

:

Xhafer: Was racetrack in the background on

the Demetrius, and I just didn't notice.

376

:

Laura: No, no, no, no.

377

:

Racetrack I'm pretty sure shows up

in the next episode doing stuff.

378

:

So yeah, I think she's on acta

379

:

Xhafer: Okay.

380

:

Laura: right.

381

:

but what are we doing?

382

:

Why did we send all these people on this?

383

:

Especially like I get that gita's good,

but Gada very clearly does not wanna

384

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

385

:

Laura: He is a giant asshole

to Kara as she's like.

386

:

You know, plotting course on vibes.

387

:

Xhafer: Yeah, Gado would be the

last person to volunteer for

388

:

this, and also is like the person

who's pretty much responsible for

389

:

setting the course of the ship.

390

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

391

:

Xhafer: he's the one who's going through

all the star charts, being all like maybe

392

:

over here and like, why would he be here?

393

:

I know he was helping Kara on

Galactica, but that made sense when

394

:

that's what the big ship was doing.

395

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

396

:

Xhafer: As far as we know, he's one

of the few people alive who can plot

397

:

a jump course without a computer,

398

:

Laura: Yeah.

399

:

short order, in these

stressful situations, we

400

:

always seem to find ourselves

401

:

Xhafer: right?

402

:

Like he would be the most important person

to keep with the fleet, you would think.

403

:

Laura: I just, this, the Demetrius

crew doesn't make a ton of sense to me,

404

:

especially the ones that hate being here.

405

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

406

:

Laura: And.

407

:

Helos having to like, keep

everybody in line and s but

408

:

can't even be nice to Anders.

409

:

Like at one point he's like, Hey,

410

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

411

:

We get this scene where he, she's like

standing above him through the grates

412

:

Laura: Uhhuh,

413

:

Xhafer: and like the lights

are above her and they laid

414

:

her up like a Renaissance halo.

415

:

Yeah.

416

:

Laura: mm-hmm.

417

:

Xhafer: crazy.

418

:

Laura: like an angel.

419

:

It's

420

:

Xhafer: Yeah, right?

421

:

Hmm.

422

:

Laura: But he's just like asking, please

sir, may I have a crumb of context?

423

:

And she says, context isn't for engines.

424

:

Xhafer: Context is for Kings baby.

425

:

Get the fuck outta here.

426

:

Laura: don't know.

427

:

Demetrius, I'm, I hope Demetrius

doesn't drag on as long as

428

:

Deanna and her Fantastic.

429

:

Five.

430

:

Did

431

:

Xhafer: the MOUs plot, I think just

from sheer number of episodes, will

432

:

Laura: I

433

:

Xhafer: not last as long

as Hilo and Athena on cap.

434

:

Laura: on Caprica.

435

:

That was like a whole

fucking season though.

436

:

Xhafer: I am just trying to give you a

little bit of reassurance here without

437

:

putting a number of episodes on it.

438

:

Okay?

439

:

Laura: sure, sure, sure, sure.

440

:

Okay.

441

:

Yeah.

442

:

But back on Galactica Terrill is trying

to convince Callie that nothing happened.

443

:

Uh, I guess they're back

in their quarters, right?

444

:

She does not care.

445

:

but she's got a doctor's

appointment she's gotta go to,

446

:

so he's gonna need to drop Nikki

447

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

448

:

Laura: and she also thinks that

Nikki might be allergic to the

449

:

algae mash, which is interesting.

450

:

Xhafer: a problem.

451

:

Yeah.

452

:

Laura: Yeah.

453

:

Only algae mash these days.

454

:

Xhafer: a lot of options.

455

:

Cavel sits down with some Sharons

and a six to try and reconcile.

456

:

Their terms are Stop by itemizing the

Raiders and give Lucy Lawless a job again.

457

:

Laura: Yeah.

458

:

Xhafer: Reasonable?

459

:

Laura: Yeah.

460

:

All 12 models need to be united.

461

:

even though those five of them

we're not supposed to think about.

462

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

463

:

There's a a little telling moment here

though, where six asks Ace Centurion

464

:

to do something and doesn't say please.

465

:

And the Asurion are shown to not have

blind allegiance to their emancipators.

466

:

Laura: yeah, has

467

:

Xhafer: We will come back to that thread.

468

:

Hmm.

469

:

Laura: Yeah, it sounded like

we would because uh, caval.

470

:

Clocks it and says This is gonna be

a bigger thing than you think it is.

471

:

Xhafer: Yeah, and he's right.

472

:

Maybe Zurich talks with Lee.

473

:

Roslyn is becoming paranoid.

474

:

No notes allowed in their meetings.

475

:

Everything is classified

decrees with no debate.

476

:

He doesn't doubt her intentions

though, which is important to note.

477

:

Laura: Yeah.

478

:

Yeah, it is.

479

:

It is weird.

480

:

I, I trouble with this whole conversation.

481

:

I was like, I don't

understand what he's saying.

482

:

Xhafer: The problem is her methods

not, not the things that she's doing.

483

:

Laura: Yeah.

484

:

I was like, what is he trying to say?

485

:

And then he.

486

:

He, he ultimately lands on Demetrius

is the tip of the iceberg, but

487

:

Demetrius isn't even her thing.

488

:

was an Adama

489

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

490

:

Laura: And he says that.

491

:

Laura is not a tyrant and wants to

save them, but then leaves a classified

492

:

file in front of Lee on his way out.

493

:

So I was like, I'm confused.

494

:

What is your, what is your whole deal?

495

:

Maybe you can explain it

a little better to me.

496

:

Xhafer: Um, without getting too spoilery

for stuff that hasn't happened yet,

497

:

the important thing to take away from

this scene is that people believe

498

:

in our leads in in mom and dad, but

they might not be communicating what

499

:

they're doing in a manner that lets

people feel comfortable with it.

500

:

Laura: Yeah, that's a very mom

and dad thing to do anyway,

501

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

502

:

Laura: in a family unit

503

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

504

:

It's a, this is the, the appearance

of their actions is different from

505

:

the intention of their actions and the

appearance of their actions is still

506

:

important for morale in the fleet.

507

:

Laura: Sure, sure.

508

:

I just was confused, especially

by him being like, Demetrius

509

:

is the tip of the iceberg.

510

:

And I'm like, well,

511

:

Xhafer: Well, Zurich is

a conspiracy theorist, so

512

:

Laura: yeah.

513

:

And I'm like, but, wasn't even her.

514

:

Xhafer: Yeah, well, we know that,

515

:

Laura: it had

516

:

Xhafer: but she's covering it up.

517

:

Laura: Yeah, that's true.

518

:

She

519

:

Xhafer: She's complicit now,

even if she didn't want to have

520

:

it happen in the first place.

521

:

Laura: Right.

522

:

Xhafer: so.

523

:

Laura: Okay.

524

:

Well, I was like, I don't know how to

feel about all this Derrick business.

525

:

Like he's, he's given Lee a job and

whatever, but it kind of seems like he

526

:

wants Lee to like do the things he can't.

527

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

528

:

Laura: that could be fine,

or that could be not fine.

529

:

Xhafer: We will find out.

530

:

Laura: Yeah.

531

:

Xhafer: Kali goes to see coddle who

takes her side on things, but is also

532

:

like you need sleep and the drugs that

you're taking are not helping you sleep

533

:

and they increase your paranoia and your

lack of sleep increases your paranoia,

534

:

and I'm speaking to you from a very

medical, I'm trying, he does a very good

535

:

job of like not invalidating her, but

also just being a like, listen, your

536

:

mental state is altered by your actions.

537

:

You have to, at the very

least, acknowledge that.

538

:

Laura: Yeah.

539

:

I, I have a confusing

thing in my notes here.

540

:

When they're having this

conversation, one of them hasn't

541

:

been able to sleep since the Nebula?

542

:

Is it him or is it her?

543

:

Xhafer: it sounds like both of them.

544

:

Laura: Okay.

545

:

They're both like disturbed by that

546

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

547

:

Laura: experience.

548

:

Xhafer: he's probably tossing

and turning and keeping her up.

549

:

I.

550

:

Laura: Oh, no, I'm sorry.

551

:

I think it's Coddle and Callie having

552

:

Xhafer: Yes, yes, yes.

553

:

Laura: so.

554

:

Xhafer: So ca, so Kelly has not

been able to sleep since the Nebula

555

:

Laura: Okay,

556

:

Xhafer: something is wrong and

she knows something is wrong, but

557

:

she doesn't know what is wrong.

558

:

Laura: probably 2-year-old

559

:

Xhafer: Tyro.

560

:

Yeah.

561

:

Laura: vibes is rubbing

562

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

563

:

Laura: Okay.

564

:

Xhafer: God.

565

:

She says, she says one of the

most depressing things here, and I

566

:

wanna talk about it for a minute,

because we have to talk about.

567

:

Nikki Klein of the real world

at this moment in time as well.

568

:

Laura: Uh

569

:

Xhafer: Uh, so she says, coddle

asks if Tiro has laid hands

570

:

on her, and she says, no.

571

:

The fracked up thing as I wish

he would because then I knew

572

:

who was feeling something and

573

:

Laura: So she can feel something

574

:

Xhafer: yeah, I don't wanna get

too far into it, but this is.

575

:

Super sad for the characters,

but also the actress, if you were

576

:

unaware, was already in the nex.

577

:

Im cult at this point.

578

:

Laura: Okay.

579

:

Okay.

580

:

Xhafer: Which is a, like

a sex trafficking cult.

581

:

There's a whole thing.

582

:

It's, I mean, she is not

in prison at this time.

583

:

I believe she was for a bit.

584

:

Um.

585

:

Laura: I read that.

586

:

I've tried not to read too

much about her or Grace Park,

587

:

Xhafer: well, Grace Park

has renounced everything.

588

:

Nikki Klein is out here tweeting that the

founder of the cult needs to get freed

589

:

Laura: I

590

:

Xhafer: and like going on right wing

podcasts and stuff to talk about it.

591

:

Laura: Oh, no.

592

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

593

:

Is bad add.

594

:

Laura: I'm glad this rabbit

hole is forbidden to me.

595

:

Xhafer: don't, yeah, don't, don't

dig around in it because all

596

:

it's gonna do is make you sad.

597

:

Um, they, they did, I mean, I have not

read a ton about it but I know that like,

598

:

there's, like traffic human trafficking,

they're, they're branding people.

599

:

Like it is, it is out of fucking control.

600

:

So knowing that she was mixed up, it.

601

:

In that for, I think she, for at least

like two years at the point at time of

602

:

filming at this point, give or take,

without like looking up exact dates just

603

:

as just I just like, I empathize so hard.

604

:

It's not like, oh God, I wish

someone was there for you right now.

605

:

Laura: Yeah.

606

:

Yeah.

607

:

Xhafer: Help you

608

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

609

:

Xhafer: do this to your life, but.

610

:

Laura: Yeah, the, this whole

actress has always made me feel

611

:

weird because of that whole thing.

612

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

613

:

Laura: I guess I have to deal

with that super much anymore.

614

:

But,

615

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

616

:

Laura: Back on Demetrius Carrot

is painting on her walls.

617

:

Xhafer: Yep.

618

:

Andrews tries to talk to her

and she's terrible to him.

619

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

620

:

Xhafer: She tries to fill the void

caused by her depression with that.

621

:

Laura: Yeah.

622

:

After she tells him that she

married him, 'cause it was easy,

623

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

624

:

Oh God.

625

:

I,

626

:

Laura: and she like goads

him into a sex fight.

627

:

That's how she gets the

628

:

Xhafer: uh,

629

:

Laura: okay.

630

:

Xhafer: hate Ed.

631

:

Laura: I hate it too.

632

:

but after she's, she's a

little like confused and she's

633

:

like, were we really married?

634

:

Anders?

635

:

Like, I need you to tell me that.

636

:

Xhafer: yeah.

637

:

She says like, I'm not the same

person you were married to.

638

:

And she says it in a way

that's just like, I've changed.

639

:

But there's also the

whole added layer of like.

640

:

Her dying and coming back where it's

all like that fucks with things too.

641

:

And

642

:

Laura: Yeah.

643

:

Xhafer: you know, she talks about

the perception of time for her

644

:

being that she was gone for a

couple of hours and not months.

645

:

But the more time that passes and the

more distant everything feels, it's almost

646

:

like that time is getting, at least the

void of that time is getting filled in,

647

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

648

:

Xhafer: which is a whole other thing too.

649

:

I mean, Kira is not okay.

650

:

She would literally chase a planet

through all of space with no chance of

651

:

fighting it, rather than go to therapy.

652

:

Laura: Yes.

653

:

Mm-hmm.

654

:

She's definitely in like a

dissociation from herself.

655

:

She's uh, says her body

feels alien to her.

656

:

Nothing feels real, and I feel like

her saying these things is supposed

657

:

to lead me to believe she's a asylum,

658

:

Xhafer: Hmm.

659

:

Laura: but I still don't.

660

:

We shall see.

661

:

But yeah, she's telling him all

this and she's like, Hey, that

662

:

doesn't seem crazy, does it, Anders?

663

:

And he quite notably cannot answer

664

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

665

:

It's like uh, pass.

666

:

I'm gonna, I'm gonna pass.

667

:

Yeah.

668

:

Laura: Yeah.

669

:

On the base.

670

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

671

:

Laura: Caval is disagreeing with the

others, but he's agreeing to their germs.

672

:

Xhafer: everyone else

voted to unbox, Deanna.

673

:

Laura: mm-hmm.

674

:

Xhafer: gonna go to a data center or

something and uh, be there to talk

675

:

to her as she begins resurrecting.

676

:

Laura: Yeah, the sixes can go and do

677

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

678

:

Hmm.

679

:

Laura: think you should.

680

:

I think you should insist

some cavel come with you.

681

:

Six.

682

:

I think you should insist

683

:

Xhafer: Hmm.

684

:

Over at the core meeting, Rosalyn

refuses to discuss the Demetrius mission.

685

:

Lee saves Rosalyn, but

she's all like, nah.

686

:

So he starts a fucking fire on the table.

687

:

Laura: Yes.

688

:

I mean, he comes in with this

graceful like non-answer of,

689

:

wouldn't it be fair to say that we

should explore all routes to earth?

690

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

691

:

Laura: Sure.

692

:

And she says, like the actual

words, I don't need your help.

693

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

694

:

Laura: so then he wants to know about

these special tribunals which I guess is

695

:

the thing that was in that confidential

folder executive order, one 12.

696

:

Xhafer: this sounds,

697

:

Laura: not a re not a thing yet.

698

:

It was a draft, I guess.

699

:

Xhafer: what Rosalyn says.

700

:

But also this sounds like the exact thing

that Zurich did with executive order.

701

:

Laura: Yeah.

702

:

What, what

703

:

Xhafer: I.

704

:

Laura: what exactly is in it?

705

:

He says that

706

:

Xhafer: It is like s

707

:

Laura: a a concentration of power

if we have these special tribunals

708

:

Xhafer: it's, she gets, she appoints

some judges and the judges are

709

:

secrets and they're gonna conduct

secret tribunals that have like

710

:

judge jury execution or stuff.

711

:

Laura: okay.

712

:

That's exactly what Zurich did.

713

:

And he's objecting to it,

714

:

Xhafer: yeah,

715

:

Laura: Huh?

716

:

Xhafer: yeah.

717

:

Laura: Well, that's maybe some

self-awareness of like, yeah,

718

:

I shouldn't have done that.

719

:

I don't know.

720

:

Xhafer: I mean, and he even was all like,

I'm doing this so that she can't, because

721

:

this will destroy her on the inside,

722

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

723

:

Xhafer: it, we need to get rid of these

fucking traitors before we go any farther.

724

:

Laura: Right.

725

:

Xhafer: So.

726

:

Laura: Hmm.

727

:

But this is, it.

728

:

It's, it's definitely just,

it, it's not in policy.

729

:

It's, it's a draft.

730

:

It's not been.

731

:

And acted yet because

732

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

733

:

Laura: the, the, this quorum

would know about that, right?

734

:

If an executive order had been issued.

735

:

Xhafer: I would think,

736

:

Laura: Yeah.

737

:

Xhafer: I don't know how executive

orders work in the colonial government.

738

:

Laura: I mean, I'm

realizing the same, yeah.

739

:

Xhafer: They didn't give us a civics

textbook with this TV show, so.

740

:

Laura: I'm just super imposing what I

think I know about my own government

741

:

Xhafer: Hmm.

742

:

Uh,

743

:

Laura: Hmm.

744

:

Hmm.

745

:

Xhafer: uh,

746

:

Laura: Think I know.

747

:

Let me a uh, emphasize that.

748

:

Xhafer: Anyways,

749

:

Laura: Okay.

750

:

Xhafer: the Bay Stars jump.

751

:

Yeah.

752

:

And they're like, Hey, the

resurrection ship didn't jump with us.

753

:

And they're just like

754

:

Laura: oh.

755

:

Xhafer: Botany Bay.

756

:

Caval Bay stars.

757

:

Fire on the sixes, Sharon's

and Leo bins, bay stars.

758

:

Laura: Yeah.

759

:

Xhafer: boomer is like, I feel bad.

760

:

And Cavel is all like, I'm evil.

761

:

Laura: wait a second.

762

:

The way we said that

the, the sixes, Sharon's

763

:

Xhafer: he opens.

764

:

Laura: text

765

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

766

:

Laura: the, please tell me that Leo

bins don't have their own Bay Star.

767

:

'cause that would be a

fucking terrible place to

768

:

Xhafer: God.

769

:

Can you imagine what a

mess that base star is

770

:

Laura: It's gotta be trashed, right?

771

:

Xhafer: Doral to clean the bathrooms

like and pick everything up?

772

:

'cause you can't tell me that Doral is

not OCD and cleans fucking everything

773

:

that isn't self-cleaning in that Bay Star.

774

:

And it's just like, there's no way that

the bins Bay Star is a fucking sty.

775

:

It is the.

776

:

I started,

777

:

Laura: all the

778

:

Xhafer: you know what?

779

:

I recently finally have started watching.

780

:

It's always sunny in Philadelphia.

781

:

That Bay Stars Charlie's apartment.

782

:

Laura: Okay.

783

:

Yeah.

784

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

785

:

Laura: I do not want bins

to have their own base star.

786

:

They need to at least have like a

six around to make them feel bad

787

:

about themselves if they try to,

788

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

789

:

Laura: not take care of

the physical space hygiene.

790

:

Yeah, but Cavel says that uh, don't worry.

791

:

These, these robots don't have any souls.

792

:

Xhafer: Yeah, they're

793

:

Laura: nothing to

794

:

Xhafer: fine.

795

:

Probably Cali digs for pills, but finds

a note with a time and a location.

796

:

Did you catch, did you catch what

Weapons Locker number it was.

797

:

Laura: I sure did.

798

:

We gotta go to Weapons Locker 1701 D.

799

:

She sure was looking through a lot of

pill bottles before she found that note.

800

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

801

:

Not good.

802

:

Various colored pills we see.

803

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

804

:

I'm wondering, it can't be that all

of these came from Coddle, right?

805

:

Xhafer: That would be my expectation.

806

:

Laura: Yeah.

807

:

But she follows them like she's a

few steps behind Tori Tiro and Ty.

808

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

809

:

Laura: and she crawls like

into the wall space outside the

810

:

weapons locker to observe them.

811

:

Xhafer: Yeah, she gets into Access

Hatch and here's their meeting and finds

812

:

out that the three of them are Cylons.

813

:

Laura: Yeah, she gets everything.

814

:

Like Ty also berating 2-year-old

that s hating wife better not

815

:

find out about them or something.

816

:

Xhafer: Yeah, very specifically.

817

:

It would be terrible if Cali of everyone

found out you Tyrell, RA cylon like,

818

:

Laura: yeah.

819

:

It's like that explicit.

820

:

Xhafer: like it's the conversation

that like someone hopes, they overhear

821

:

when they get someone to wear a wire.

822

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

823

:

And it's all in Weapons Locker 1701

824

:

Xhafer: Yep.

825

:

Laura: Yeah.

826

:

No.

827

:

I almost thought for a second when

we're having this conversation that

828

:

we're gonna do some stuff with like.

829

:

Callie, because we had the

conversation earlier with Doc Coddle

830

:

that like, oh, Callie's paranoia

831

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

832

:

Laura: up and she's gonna like

question that reality for a few

833

:

episodes of like, am I just on

so many drugs and fucking high?

834

:

Or is this a real thing?

835

:

But no, I think we're gonna

just go ahead and resolve this

836

:

Xhafer: Yep.

837

:

No, not gonna, not gonna do

anything else with this one.

838

:

She crawls out and runs out of

there before they get leave.

839

:

Tori notices the outta place panel.

840

:

She runs back to her quarters

and Teel isn't far behind and

841

:

she tries to hold it together.

842

:

And then

843

:

Laura: Tyrell.

844

:

Tyrell, this is so bad.

845

:

Xhafer: they used like the sound

to make him sound like he's

846

:

underwater or very far away.

847

:

Laura: I thought they were

making him sound robotic.

848

:

Xhafer: true.

849

:

True.

850

:

Yeah.

851

:

Laura: Yeah.

852

:

It's all, you know, a very far away

robot that promises he's not having

853

:

an affair and does the thing where he

proposes having another baby to fix

854

:

Xhafer: Yeah, famously

babies always fix marriages.

855

:

So solid plan no notes.

856

:

Uh, But when she hears it,

she gives him the wrench.

857

:

Clue style.

858

:

Laura: Yeah.

859

:

ass wrench to the face.

860

:

Xhafer: Yep.

861

:

She grabs his keys, Nikki, and leaves.

862

:

She looks distant despondent

as she walks to the hangar Bay.

863

:

She goes to a Viper launch.

864

:

We see her stare out into space for a

minute before putting in the override

865

:

key, which is when Tory rolls in.

866

:

Laura: Yeah, Tori being very

sympathetic and convincing here.

867

:

Please don't do

868

:

Xhafer: don't kill yourself.

869

:

Don't kill Nikki.

870

:

Kill me.

871

:

Laura: me even.

872

:

Yeah, just don't do this

to yourself and your baby.

873

:

But Kelly's like screaming

that Tyrell used her.

874

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

875

:

Laura: And Tori says that,

Hey, none of us knew.

876

:

He didn't, he didn't use you.

877

:

He didn't even know what he was like.

878

:

It all just, it just happened.

879

:

And we're not evil.

880

:

We're just scared and confused as you are.

881

:

But you don't wanna do this to your son.

882

:

And she does that thing where we're

gonna get through this together and

883

:

she's so close to her and she's hugging

884

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

885

:

Laura: And then Callie Hands

Nikki to her, or she takes Nikki

886

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

887

:

Laura: That's probably a better way to put

888

:

Xhafer: The second Nikki

is out of Callie's hands.

889

:

Tori knocks Callie out.

890

:

Just like super strength

throws her across the room.

891

:

Laura: yeah

892

:

Xhafer: Callie wakes up just in

time to see herself get airlock.

893

:

Laura: yeah.

894

:

She's like holding Nikki's blanket

still, like Nikki's blanket came

895

:

off and she's got that with her,

Tori just blows her out the airlock.

896

:

Xhafer: We get this shot, this

like lingering shot of her

897

:

frozen and bloated in space.

898

:

Laura: Yeah,

899

:

it's pretty

900

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

901

:

And then the episode ends with a

dama sitting with Tyrell in silence.

902

:

Laura: Yeah.

903

:

Yeah.

904

:

Xhafer: No words, no

music, just two of them.

905

:

Laura: It's rough.

906

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

907

:

Laura: real rough.

908

:

And the whole thing.

909

:

Super dark.

910

:

Um,

911

:

A question

912

:

Xhafer: yeah.

913

:

Laura: if it's appropriate to go ahead and

914

:

Xhafer: I mean, you can ask.

915

:

It might not be appropriate to answer.

916

:

I.

917

:

Laura: something.

918

:

Seems like the.

919

:

The understanding of the Final Five, or at

least these Fantastic four that we have.

920

:

No, wait, we called them

the fuck around four.

921

:

That's

922

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

923

:

Laura: The fuck around four is not the

same as the original seven because, and

924

:

this didn't make a lot of sense to me.

925

:

I was thinking about it.

926

:

I can understand why Tori, maybe Tyrell.

927

:

Mm, I'm not sure I can get behind Ty.

928

:

Don't seem to clock that like human Cy

Hybrid was important to the original seven

929

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

930

:

Laura: none of them has, none of them

has thought about Nikki, like, given

931

:

Nikki a second thought that we know of.

932

:

But Anders was definitely there and

knows about the farms, so he should

933

:

have known like, Hey, that's important.

934

:

And been like, huh, what

should we think about Nikki?

935

:

Like should we

936

:

Xhafer: Well, Anders is an idiot.

937

:

Laura: Right,

938

:

Xhafer: you've got that.

939

:

It wasn't convenient to the plot

for Anders to remember that stuff

940

:

Laura: right.

941

:

But I feel like Ty should

have been briefed on

942

:

Xhafer: Probably has been.

943

:

Yeah.

944

:

Laura: experience and I feel like

945

:

Xhafer: Also then Ty knows,

and Hara has magic blurred.

946

:

Yeah.

947

:

Laura: Yeah, Tori sh Tori knows this

too though, and she probably knows about

948

:

the farm because she has such restricted

access for, to like the President's

949

:

Xhafer: staff.

950

:

Yeah.

951

:

Laura: She knows.

952

:

She knows a lot of what the

president knows, but nobody

953

:

has acknowledged it at all yet.

954

:

And this is the closest we

have is her taking Nikki, but.

955

:

We don't know that that's

an actual acknowledgement of

956

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

957

:

Laura: because it could just be like,

I need to get rid of her, but I'm not

958

:

gonna like blast Herold's son out there.

959

:

That'd be weird.

960

:

He would, he would lose his mind.

961

:

You know,

962

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

963

:

Laura: we don't know what Tori's

motivation in saving Nikki was.

964

:

If it was just material relation stuff

or actual, like the silo human hybrid is

965

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

966

:

Laura: I don't know.

967

:

that was a lingering thought

I had about all this.

968

:

I don't know if it's gonna get answered.

969

:

And fair's making a version of the face.

970

:

Xhafer: you are right to notice that

971

:

Laura: I,

972

:

Xhafer: they seem to be operating

differently than the other silo.

973

:

I

974

:

Laura: okay, I'll take that.

975

:

Xhafer: that.

976

:

All I'm gonna say about it.

977

:

Laura: his eyelids.

978

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I think that's all,

that's all I'm gonna say about it.

979

:

So

980

:

Laura: Hmm.

981

:

Xhafer: I'll reaffirm and validate your

feelings, but I won't explain to you

982

:

why I am reaffirming or validating them.

983

:

Laura: Good.

984

:

Good, good, good, good, good, good.

985

:

Okay.

986

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

987

:

So, yeah, heavy.

988

:

Laura: rate this one?

989

:

Xhafer: I mean, we don't you can

always give it your fuck this episode.

990

:

But I did warn you over text when

we were talking about it 'cause I

991

:

posted your response in spoiler chat.

992

:

Fair warning.

993

:

Laura: What response,

994

:

Xhafer: screenshot of our text thread.

995

:

Um.

996

:

Laura: oh, hang on.

997

:

Now I'm gonna have to go back through the

998

:

Xhafer: I, I, I, I scribbled out

the stuff where you were talking

999

:

about where you were going to be

and why we couldn't record, but

:

00:43:00,629 --> 00:43:01,189

Laura: Oh, okay.

:

00:43:02,414 --> 00:43:05,079

Xhafer: didn't, it didn't

dox you in our discord.

:

00:43:05,389 --> 00:43:07,219

But I did was like, yep.

:

00:43:07,399 --> 00:43:09,379

And that's only, you know,

it's like heavy episode.

:

00:43:09,379 --> 00:43:09,829

It's like, yep.

:

00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:12,349

And that's only the third

most depressing episode

:

00:43:12,614 --> 00:43:13,214

Laura: Oh, yes.

:

00:43:13,219 --> 00:43:13,519

That part.

:

00:43:13,669 --> 00:43:16,519

Xhafer: of the season, and

you're like third, most,

:

00:43:18,649 --> 00:43:20,269

third most.

:

00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:24,489

And then we actually talked about

it a little in there too about uh,

:

00:43:24,759 --> 00:43:27,429

we didn't really rank the other two.

:

00:43:28,059 --> 00:43:31,374

I think it depends on your personal

uh, your personal feelings on what

:

00:43:31,374 --> 00:43:33,534

the other two, the order of them.

:

00:43:33,534 --> 00:43:37,404

I don't think it's debatable

particularly what two moments.

:

00:43:37,404 --> 00:43:40,134

Those episodes rather,

I should say those are.

:

00:43:40,574 --> 00:43:42,088

But yeah,

:

00:43:42,574 --> 00:43:42,864

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:43:43,528 --> 00:43:44,818

Xhafer: so you might wanna save your fuck.

:

00:43:44,818 --> 00:43:46,888

This episode is what

that's all leading into.

:

00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:49,209

Laura: I'm going to propose something.

:

00:43:49,393 --> 00:43:49,933

Xhafer: Go for it.

:

00:43:50,364 --> 00:43:52,794

Laura: I didn't fuck

an episode last season.

:

00:43:52,873 --> 00:43:53,473

Xhafer: you want two?

:

00:43:54,174 --> 00:43:55,794

Laura: I never fucked this episode.

:

00:43:55,794 --> 00:43:58,374

So can I go ahead and I'll

go ahead and fuck this

:

00:43:58,603 --> 00:43:58,993

Xhafer: Yeah,

:

00:43:59,004 --> 00:44:00,504

Laura: then I'll still

have one in the chamber.

:

00:44:00,703 --> 00:44:01,903

Xhafer: that's fine.

:

00:44:02,174 --> 00:44:04,634

'Cause you're probably

gonna use it prematurely.

:

00:44:04,634 --> 00:44:04,694

So.

:

00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:06,280

Laura: oh.

:

00:44:11,099 --> 00:44:13,569

Xhafer: Anyways yeah, no, go

ahead and fuck this episode.

:

00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:14,199

Um,

:

00:44:15,830 --> 00:44:16,310

Laura: Yeah.

:

00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,669

Xhafer: it's fucking heavy.

:

00:44:19,179 --> 00:44:22,539

Um, it's an important episode.

:

00:44:22,939 --> 00:44:28,639

Um, it does some obvious things and

it also does some less obvious things

:

00:44:29,299 --> 00:44:32,239

and some of the less obvious stuff.

:

00:44:32,959 --> 00:44:38,091

In rewatch mode, I can appreciate, I can't

talk about it, but I can appreciate it.

:

00:44:38,683 --> 00:44:40,093

so I don't know.

:

00:44:40,093 --> 00:44:44,143

I, I don't like, I mean,

this is not an episode.

:

00:44:44,143 --> 00:44:45,133

I would just go back and rewatch,

:

00:44:46,839 --> 00:44:47,439

Laura: Nah.

:

00:44:47,533 --> 00:44:49,813

Xhafer: nah, nah.

:

00:44:49,813 --> 00:44:49,843

Ah.

:

00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:56,767

Laura: It's just so sad and

it's not, I don't know how to

:

00:44:56,767 --> 00:44:59,107

describe the sadness of it.

:

00:45:00,067 --> 00:45:06,886

one of those things when like you kind

of watch a friend spiral or something.

:

00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:08,550

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:45:09,031 --> 00:45:12,211

Laura: Bad started happening to them

and you're like, man, this is just sad.

:

00:45:12,211 --> 00:45:13,381

I can't do anything.

:

00:45:13,381 --> 00:45:14,101

It's sad.

:

00:45:14,551 --> 00:45:16,681

It feels like that, you know,

:

00:45:17,135 --> 00:45:17,555

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

:

00:45:18,426 --> 00:45:21,576

Laura: it's a, it is the train wreck

of it that like the whole episode

:

00:45:21,576 --> 00:45:25,806

you're watching and you're like, this

is gonna go badly, and then it does,

:

00:45:25,806 --> 00:45:27,941

and you're like, well, there it went.

:

00:45:28,435 --> 00:45:28,795

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:45:29,904 --> 00:45:33,114

Laura: I have a feeling there's gonna be

a fucking gaas train wreck coming, though.

:

00:45:33,114 --> 00:45:37,194

That's gonna be, that's gonna

make me angry instead of sad.

:

00:45:37,434 --> 00:45:37,734

So,

:

00:45:38,728 --> 00:45:39,178

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:45:39,238 --> 00:45:39,838

I mean.

:

00:45:40,916 --> 00:45:42,326

That's pretty much a guarantee.

:

00:45:43,376 --> 00:45:43,916

Maybe it'll be.

:

00:45:43,916 --> 00:45:44,696

Next episode.

:

00:45:44,696 --> 00:45:49,076

We've got season four,

episode four, escape velocity.

:

00:45:49,076 --> 00:45:50,276

Oh, I never put a number on it.

:

00:45:50,386 --> 00:45:52,966

Six out of 12.

:

00:45:53,116 --> 00:45:53,506

Sure.

:

00:45:53,802 --> 00:45:54,092

Laura: Okay.

:

00:45:54,166 --> 00:45:57,016

Xhafer: Um, season four,

episode four, escape Velocity.

:

00:45:57,790 --> 00:46:01,840

Baltar sets off a debate on

religious freedom when he promotes

:

00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,880

his belief in a single God.

:

00:46:04,787 --> 00:46:05,297

Laura: Okay.

:

00:46:08,061 --> 00:46:10,581

Xhafer: That's all we get.

:

00:46:12,017 --> 00:46:13,607

Laura: I'm still confused

:

00:46:14,241 --> 00:46:14,541

Xhafer: Okay.

:

00:46:15,257 --> 00:46:18,827

Laura: of whether Baltar believes

in the single God or not, but maybe

:

00:46:18,827 --> 00:46:20,267

we'll talk about that next time.

:

00:46:20,361 --> 00:46:22,821

Xhafer: I mean, it seems like it'd be

a good episode to talk about it during.

:

00:46:23,807 --> 00:46:23,927

Laura: Yeah

:

00:46:24,721 --> 00:46:27,601

Xhafer: but before we get to that

next week, we should say thank

:

00:46:27,601 --> 00:46:30,871

you this week to Jeremy Siegel.

:

00:46:31,411 --> 00:46:32,011

Jeremy.

00:46:32,671 --> 00:46:34,081

Hey, how you doing?

00:46:34,831 --> 00:46:36,511

Thanks so much for

giving us a theme music.

00:46:36,871 --> 00:46:38,071

Duck time machine on Instagram

:

00:46:44,913 --> 00:46:46,048

for our podcast artwork.

:

00:46:46,478 --> 00:46:50,218

Xhafer: Aaron, thanks so much for

editing this podcast and, making us

:

00:46:50,218 --> 00:46:56,878

sound intelligent when we stall and

really start to drag on sentences, you

:

00:46:56,878 --> 00:47:02,848

can go in and clean that up so that we

sound coherent instead of sounding like

:

00:47:02,938 --> 00:47:10,138

this, which we probably do more than

we actually do, but I wouldn't know

:

00:47:10,138 --> 00:47:11,848

because I don't listen to this podcast.

:

00:47:13,358 --> 00:47:16,778

Laura: I was thinking more thanks

for like fixing the 10 minute

:

00:47:16,838 --> 00:47:18,368

descrip error or whatever we

:

00:47:18,508 --> 00:47:22,348

Xhafer: Oh yeah, we did have a terrible 10

minute recording drop to script error that

:

00:47:22,348 --> 00:47:24,508

hopefully we still have the audio from.

:

00:47:24,958 --> 00:47:26,668

Uh, we will see.

:

00:47:27,031 --> 00:47:27,931

Laura: I'll have him check

:

00:47:28,011 --> 00:47:28,521

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:47:29,661 --> 00:47:31,142

Uh, Thanks again.

:

00:47:31,332 --> 00:47:31,722

00:47:32,157 --> 00:47:32,277

00:47:32,292 --> 00:47:34,032

Laura: Thanks uh, listener

for being here with us.

:

00:47:34,782 --> 00:47:38,292

This is a tough episode and I

have a feeling things are gonna

:

00:47:38,352 --> 00:47:39,792

only get more exciting from here.

:

00:47:39,792 --> 00:47:42,552

So if you wanna talk about it,

come on down to the Discord.

:

00:47:42,862 --> 00:47:47,792

Xhafer: Yeah, you'll see, you'll see

things like me posting text messages

:

00:47:48,302 --> 00:47:49,868

weeks before the episode airs.

:

00:47:49,898 --> 00:47:53,138
