Tonight, we are going to forego the ordinary play by play and discuss the deeper implications of robots (such as the Red Tornado) creating more robots (such as the Tornado Champion/Tyrant)

As a co-creator of several Republibotlets, I feel uniquely qualified to address this issue.

Oh, who am I kidding. I'm as clueless as the Red Tornado. You make the little 'bots, you think they're cute, they start asking questions you can't answer and turn into rebellious big 'bots.

Republibotlet 2.2: Why was I put on this earth?
Republibot 2: Seemed like a good idea at the time?

Owing to bad planning and entirely too much real life, I wasn't able to watch this episode until Sunday, and even then it was a struggle to fit it in. But I watched it, and I ended up being disappointed. There's little more annoying than longing for something for a half a week longer than anyone else, and it being pretty meh when you finally get to see it.

Echo is programmed to be an ass-kicking backup singer for a Riana-like singer that someone is trying to kill. Sierra, the blonde Japanese girl, is assigned as her backup. They infiltrate the singer's agency separately and with no real difficulties, until it becomes apparent that Rianna *Wants* to die, and is encouraging her stalker/executioner. Said whackjob kidnaps Sierra, and so Echo endangers the singer to rescue the other active, and save the day. This they then do.

Meanwhile, in the Helo plot, Paul the FBI guy gets set up by his Russian Mob informant, and is shot and hospitalized.

Last week, a Raptor carrying Roslin and Baltar escaped, making it’s way to the Rebel Base Ship. Gaeta ordered the CAP to shoot them down, but Hot Dog deliberately stalls once he finds out Roslin is on the bird. Narcho cuts in front of him (Nice flying there) to take the shot, but misses and whacks the Base Ship a good one. Roslin and Baltar make it to the base ship. Meanwhile, Tigh and Adama are captured by one of Gaeta’s goon squads while covering Roslin’s escape. Starbuck and Apollo are scooting around on their own below decks.
