Did you seriously think it wouldn't? The fact that they kept coming back to it made it pretty clear to me that he was up to something important, and it was a matter of time before we had enough clues to figure out what it was.
I figured something would eventually happen, but odds were fifty-fifty on whether it would be worth it. By the fourth or fifth shot of him squirming, I thought it was getting old. Could've used fewer shots of that.
(Note to Rusty: Sit down. Watch BSG. TAKE NOTES.)
Indeed.
Sure looked like a crack in the hull to me, especially since, when he found it, everything went all blue, which is the Universal Color of Not Much Oxygen.
Huh. It didn't go blue on my computer screen at all.
Would explain why he seemed unusually tired there, even for the exertion he'd been through, though seriously? There shouldn't have been ANY air by then if it's really a crack, and things like the engine part should have been flying in that general direction. Oops.
Yeah, that's why it never even crossed my mind that it was a hull breach. I mean, vacuum is pretty insistent. Give it a micrometer and it'll take everything in the room. Plus, it kind of looks like clawmarks. From a bear the size of the Empire State Building.
Good point. Maybe at least partially the result of Laura calling him on his finely-tuned instinct for self-preservation?
Maybe!
Still, Baltar mit conscience is not a bad thing, I don't think.
It's only what I've been hoping for since the mini!
Not sure about the prophecy thing. I don't think it was a giant leap to assume that the mutineers (wow, that sounds so 18th century) would eventually execute Adama, and everyone had to be thinking about it, but that dream seemed pretty eerily prescient to me (and kinder than reality, where they didn't even give anyone a blindfold!)
You're probably right. Besides, Baltar's already involved in the Opera House thing, so I guess he's already some kind of visionary.
