Let me take this time to complain about something that has bothered me since I first spotted Cally. What the frack is up with her hair?? Since her big debut as a cylon assassinator and Chief-supporter, it hasn't changed. I understand she's a deckhand and plain-Jane mom, but there's a daycare AND bar on Galactica, can't someone open a freakin salon? She's a pretty girl, but come on, brush those atrocious bangs back, throw on some lip gloss and smile for once!

Adama's marriage doesn't seem like it was all "hugs & puppies" (yup, stole that from Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More With Feeling" - I miss the quotable slayer). Nope, it seems like Mrs. Adama was a huge douchebag. But we do see their wedding picture and she was quite a looker, as was Adama in his day. Years have not been so kind to our beloved Admiral however...

Things are getting done on Galactica. Holes are being patched, decks are being scrubbed and the crew's not too happy about it. Cally, Chief and a Seelix (I thought it was Felix until I kept rewinding, then checked imdb.com - because really, Seelix is a pretty stupid name or (I'm hoping) call sign, which doesn't seem likely because she's a deckhand -- whatever it is - I'd rather be Hot Dog). But now Seelix is that awkward third person in the room having to listen to the quarreling couple, so I feel for her.

The threesome is assigned to fix a damaged airlock. Chief explains it's just a "rough patch" in the marriage to an annoyed Cally. Then just when the two weren't pissed off enough at each other, the doors shut automatically due to a pressure differential, thus causing the shutdown and immediate lose of air. All they have to do is plug the hole, restore pressure and the door will open. Simple, right? Hmmm, nope. The beginning credits haven't even rolled, so I'm pretty sure there will a few setbacks here and even fewer cylons in this episode. FRACK.

Adama is doing some mental exercises while reminiscing about his home back in the colonies, equipped with a bike from the future...I wonder if it flies?

He's talking to his wife and they can't even get along in his head - it must've been one continuous "rough patch" of a marriage in real-life. His wife then says, "Maybe she has a thing for bad boys" and his "God-like façade." The implied "she" is none other than President Roslin who just happens to be visiting Galactica for "important business", aka, booty call.

Roslin, we learn, is stir-crazy on Colonial One, or OBE ("On Booty Expedition") as they say on Galactica. Ok, it's really "overcome by events", but since that phrase is so vague, I opt for the former. The real issue at hand is Baltar. They don't know what laws to try him under because all the colonies had different rules and this is the first big case with unknown jurisdiction

Since Adama's dad was an attorney on Caprica, he must know something about law, right? Well, not so much, you see Adama and his daddy didn't see eye-to-eye on many things. Roslin figures maybe some legal genes rubbed off on Lee, and she wants him to head a committee to determine the correct way to try Baltar. I wish I could get jobs that way... "Yes, my grandfather was an astrophysicist, I'm WICKED smaahht. Hire me."
