REMINDER: Starbuck drinks redrum, Boomer lassos a moon in 'Someone to Watch Over Me'?

Feb 27, 2009

Ghostly visions and alternate realities in space appear to be the focus of the 17th, season four "Battlestar Galactica" episode, "Someone to Watch Over Me," promotional multimedia indicates.

No was watching over Captain Samuel Anders (Michael Trucco) when he appears to be waking up from a coma at the end of "Deadlock," and he is not featured in any of the promos for the next episode that airs tonight. But there is enough to explore even if the character is left with no one to attend to his medical care other than Doc Cottle.

Overviews for "Deadlock" from The Sci Fi Channel, TV Guide and TV.com Web sites indicate that Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Katie Sackhoff) will see ghostly visions while at the same time talking to a "charismatic" man playing on the new piano she took note of in "Deadlock" in a premise very reminiscent to the famed bar from hell scene from "The Shining." 

By the episode's end, Starbuck "may" come to terms with something "shattering" as to why she found a skull wearing her military tags on the nuked remains of Earth, one of the overviews shows.

Rebel Cylons meanwhile want to get revenge on Sharon "Boomer" Valerii (Grace Park) by charging her with treason even though she established her loyalty by helping to rescue Ellen Tigh (Kate Vernon), who is one of the elder Final Five Cylons, from being dissected by John Cavil (Dean Stockwell), the overviews show. 

Promotional photo stills allude to the possibility that this causes either Boomer or Galen Tyrol (Aaron Douglas), who were once lovers, to experience having lived a domestic life together somewhere that is not space. 

Adding to the drama are Tyrol's efforts to ask for intervention in the matter from President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnel), who might be understandably beholden to The Cylons' desire for vengeance in exchange for their assistance in helping the fleet to move forward to gods know where. Boomer's only saving grace, Ellen, might not be so willing to help The Cylon that helped liberate her from Cavil out of some sense of toaster justice. Both points are established in the sneak peek below or watch the official promo.
