Testimonials

The two have never really talked about the divorce, choosing to bottle up all emotions and have "angry phases" instead. Now is as good at time as any, and we all have to suffer through it. Turns out that mom wasn't as stable as Adama thought, often losing control and hitting the bottle while taking out her frustrations on her boys. Meanwhile, the boys knew that self-centered Dad was earning medals, leading men, yet abandoning his family. Dad Adama can't admit he made a mistake by marrying the wrong woman, thus calling into question ALL decisions he has made in the field. DEEP. Blah, blah. Blah. Blabby, blabby, blah. Did his wife love him? Who knows? Lee doesn't seem to think so. Adama knows he had something with his wife and will revisit her every year on this day. Hopefully next year, she's not as much of a douche.

Over at sickbay, Cally and Chief are okay. Cally's in some weird chamber that resembles what I think would be one of those old scuba, deep-sea things, or where Ted Williams is hanging out these days. But if they say she's ok, I believe them. Cally and Chief agree to find a balance in their life between work, love and their child. Aaw. Cute.

Now it's Gift Time! Back at home with D, Lee finds a couple of boxes from his father. Inside were his grandfather's law books with a note, "For that day when we all have the time. Love, Daddy." Ok, no closing expressing his love, Adama's too tough for that kind of pussy talk, even if it is to his son. I have a feeling that Lee didn't get lots of hugs as a child. But still, a very kind gesture from dad.

Roslin then gives a gift to Adama. Oh, she SO wants him. Adama asks, "Do you ever think about the dance on New Caprica?" He's making his move...smooth Admiral... but nope. Cue the lecture music and Adama starts some shpeel about war, enjoying the times, etc...etc... he's playing hard to get.

Roslin says she'll be back in a few days to "talk" more about that night. Uhhm, hmmmm. You go President Roslin - high-ranking officials have needs too. With that, scene ends and Adama puts his wedding photo away and says he'll see her next year. The ghost lives.

Then we are privileged to view the lamest bonus scene ever. Why call it a bonus scene? It was just D and Gaeta gossiping and speculating about President Roslin's frequent visits. Hello, she's there every episode. If you're going to call it bonus, something good better happen, or else don't throw a nice label on it and serve it to the viewers. Call it what it is: deleted scenes.

Did you like this episode? Do you think that Adama and Roslin will do it? Are you ready for some cylon action? Are the bonus scenes really a bonus to the viewers, or just scrap from the editing floor?
