Here is the recap by Pike, for BSG episode “Faith” (408), with audio from GQ #43.

“Guess What’s Coming To Dinner” continues the streak of excellent episodes. Whereas the previous episode had a more singular story, this show masterfully wove together multiple storylines and characters, and most importantly, propelled the story forward.

We praise all the new developments and building momentum, including the fragile alliance, Hera, the opera house, Roslin and Baltar jointly seeing the hybrid, Natalie’s fate, and the cliffhanger ending.

The Quorum participants for this episode were Brian, Michele, and Jason.

We felt “Faith” was another strong episode. We discuss Roslin’s open mind about spiritual possibilities, attempt to interpret the Hybrid’s message, ponder why the Eights are a herd of pod people, and discuss what has become of Gaeta’s character.

Email from Michael:

I know you guys like theories, so here’s one I cooked up based on the biblical meaning of numbers in relation to the Cylon models. (With the explicit religious ties to the Cylons, and Baltar looking more and more like a Christ-figure, it’s not unreasonable to think some thought has gone into the numbers.)

This is obviously the hyper-condensed summary of what numbers are used to mean in the bible.

1 - Unity - Cavil
One is used to represent God alone, the rejection of all that is different. Cavil is unwilling to listen to others, and won’t even consider the existence of God or a soul, anything beyond his own existence.

2 - Division - Leoben
Two represents the separation of opposites, both harmony and discord, the Earth and the Heavens, the Light and the Dark. Leoben causes divisions and mistrust in the fleet, spreads lies with truth, and believes the Hybrids speak the voice of God.

 BSG rebounds with “The Road Less Traveled,” an episode that not coincidentally focused on the Demetrius. The Quorum weighs in on the mutiny, the extensive yet whiny crew, and just what Athena is doing on the mission. Plus, we debate Baltar’s motives.
