Colonial Day

Zarek (Richard Hatch) returns and he notes that President Roslin has a weakness. There is no Vice President.

Zarek proposes that a VP role is created and he wants to run for that post.

Roslin realises that if Zarek becomes VP, he might then try to arrange her assassination. After all he is next in line.

There is a lot of political chicanery from both Zarek and Roslin. As a convicted terrorist, Zarek is a divisive character.

Roslin is not above any dirty tricks neither and spots that Gaius is charismatic and should run for office.

I can see why Richard Hatch was tempted to appear in the rebooted BSG. The producers certainly gave him a layered character. One who could easily be charming yet lethally cunning and duplicitous.

In Caprica, Helo makes an important discovery as well regarding the Cylon clones and who they resemble.

That too is a welcome development regarding Helo's story.
