Battlestar Galactica Review: "The Face of the Enemy" (Webisode Part 10)
Taken as a whole, the most surprising thing about "The Face of the Enemy" is how a 10-part webisode starring one of the show's minor characters feels crucial to the set up of the final episodes, beginning this Friday. But through Lt. Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani), we get a little clarity from Season 3 and little foreshadowing of things to come.... read more

In Part 9 of "The Face of the Enemy," Felix Gaeta is having trouble accepting the reality of his inadvertent betrayal—by "hope" as Eight puts it: "I'm a woman and Cylon. I didn't seduce you. Hope seduced you. And the more you ate of it the less you saw. You ate yourself blind." Even Dr. Gaius Baltar knew about how Eight used him to get to members of the Resistance. That little morsal from way back in Season 3, Episode 13 ("Taking a Break From All Your Worries") where Gaeta is interrogating Baltar is finally made clear. Baltar whispers "I... read more

The search team is giving up in Part 8 of "The Face of the Enemy." And Gaeta is having an even worse time. Eight has killed off the rest of the crew, and tells him, "We needed the air. Felix, I picked you over my own kind, over my own model. I protected you from something you never could have done but you were thinking all along." It's a "That's just how the world works speech" that gets harsher when she reveals that all the names he was providing for rescue on New Caprica were just getting executed. He's not... read more

Clocking in at two minutes and 12 seconds, Part 7 of "The Face of the Enemy" actually moves the plot along quite a bit. After some chatter between the two search-team members about Gaeta's "moral core," Gaeta finds that his Cylon ex-girlfriend doesn't have much of one. Two more passengers dead, and there's no mistaking their slit throats for an accident or a suicide. It's been Eight all along, and Gaeta's hands are literally bloody after trusting her. The search team is having no luck, and the floating graveyard's hopeful jump ended up in just as dead space.... read more

The flashbacks in Part 6 of "The Face of the Enemy" are to simply back to earlier parts of this webisode series. It's cracking me up how each four-minute segment starts with some kind of recap, as if you wouldn't be able to remember last week's full four minutes. But then Cylon Eight links up with the ship through a cool hidden Cylon port deep inside her hand. And then they kiss. That's pretty much it this time. A little flashback kiss, a current-time kiss and the search results from the cable shoved inside her hand. I'm sure we'll get... read more
