Tonight on Battlestar Galactica: The Oath

If there’s any truth to that saying about it always being darkest before the dawn, the crew of Galactica should be in for bright days soon.

Let’s see, the Colonial fleet’s in mutiny, planet Earth is toast and the president has stopped her cancer treatments. Oh, and at some point Cavil and the rest of the Cylon fleet are going to show up and try to wipe out humankind. Those are just the highlights, really.

There’s still the matter of Starbuck. If her Viper and her corpse are on what’s left on Earth, then what is she exactly?

Do they make a “Just Found Out My Best Friend Is A Cylon” Card? Something for a savvy merchandising guy in the fleet to work on, for sure. Stay away from the hooch, guys, things got ugly last week.
