Quote:

Fleet-wide paranoia reaches a new peak when word leaks out that the Cylon Sharon is secretly being kept alive aboard the Galactica.

Sesha Abinell, a civilian who is grieving her husband's tragic death during a Cylon raid several weeks earlier, is incensed by the thought of a Cylon agent being trusted to provide intelligence to the Galactica's officers. She is convinced that the Cylon is manipulating Admiral Adama and leading the fleet to its destruction.

Assisted by three sympathizers, Sesha takes drastic action. She pulls a weapon in a bar aboard the luxury ship Cloud Nine and holds its occupants hostage — among them Ellen Tigh and the uneasy romantic triangle of Lee Adama, Anastasia Dualla and Billy Kekeiya. Sesha's demand is simple: Turn over the Cylon spy Sharon Valerii to be executed, or else the hostages will die.

Lee is at first able to avoid detection; he tries to undermine Sesha and her accomplices by triggering mechanical malfunctions. He is soon flushed out, however, and Sesha makes it clear to Admiral Adama that if Sharon isn't surrendered to her, she will kill his son.

Kara Thrace makes a bold move in an effort to rescue the hostages, but the op goes terribly wrong and Lee is critically wounded. With time running out, Admiral Adama endorses a desperate plan to end that stalemate, with disastrous consequences. Sesha's wrath exacts a heartbreaking toll when an innocent human life is sacrificed on her altar of vengeance.

crash landing · 09-15-2008, 06:02 AM

I do like how he did a hero in a sense

CylonRaider · 09-15-2008, 06:07 AM

yeah but it sucks that it had to happen at all

crash landing · 09-15-2008, 06:15 AM

It does because I miss Billy and he was a great supporting character

They probably killed Billy off to clear the way for the Lee/Dualla relationship. That may be why they had Lee being shot by Kara, so there would bad feeling and complications between them thus making a Lee/Dee hook up more reasonable.

This is not one of my favorite episodes.

This is a fave of mine either

He was, the actor wanted to carry on with new things, so

, but still hoping he might return in some way

What has the actor been up too?

**crazy_diamond** · 09-16-2008, 05:25 AM

I think he's in the new Knight Rider show, but before that, don't know..

Oh ok

Awwww, poor Billy getting killed!!

I felt so badly for him, having to see Dee and Lee sitting together in that club, shortly after he proposed to her!

It was unfortunate that Kara shot Lee by accident.

She felt very guilty.

I'm not surprised that Sharon wouldn't tell Adama who the other Cylons on the fleet are.

The morgue scene with Roslin and Adama was so sad.
