Mark here... damn this was a good one, but a slow burner. The episode was called "Litmus" and the premise is that a Cylon agent blew himself up aboard Galactica. An independent tribunal is formed. The real drama, however, is character based. Adama and Roslin struggling with the need for a judicial solution versus a witch hunt. In the end Adama shuts down the tribunal, but we also feel like the tribunal was going after the salacious versus the real truth.
One a side note, we catch up with Helo on Caprica, who has been separated from his version of Sharon. She is seen with the Cylons who proceed to beat her up so that it will be believable when she meets up with Helo again.
Laurel here...not much happened during this episode yet it was really interesting to watch. I think the purpose in the grand scheme of things is to let us know that everyone on board Galactica is living a life of uncertainty even though their position and honorable intentions have well been established in the eyes of the viewer. Everyone on board is in question and no one is secure, no many how many people may come to bat for them, and despite their intentions and history..All's fair in love and war.
