#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×13: EPIPHANIES. This episode aired 10 years ago on January 20, 2006. #BSG10YEARS.
Episode Synopsis: Cancer-stricken President Laura Roslin lies near death in the Galactica’s sickbay. Still lucid and in command, she orders that the pregnancy of the Cylon spy Sharon be terminated, after inexplicable properties are discovered in a fetal blood sample.
Dr. Gaius Baltar, who, as vice president, is poised to assume the presidency upon Roslin’s death, protests that a half-human, half-Cylon child would make an ideal case study; the child’s father, Lt. Karl “Helo” Agathon, also is outraged by Roslin’s decision.
Admiral Adama is determined to carry out Roslin’s final decree until Baltar discovers that the hybrid fetus’s blood cells might possess fantastic healing properties.
Meanwhile, a secret group of Cylon sympathizers resorts to sabotage to demand that humanity sue for peace with the Cylons. Adama arrests their leader, Royan Jahee, but the group continues its violent revolt, bombing the tylium refinery ship, leaving the fleet short of fuel and vulnerable to enemy attack.
An even more ominous threat emerges when Baltar once again connects with Gina, a flesh-and-blood version of the Number Six who lives in his head. Gina has infiltrated the sympathizers’ ranks, in an effort to promote the Cylon agenda.
Baltar realizes that President Roslin doesn’t trust him to succeed her as president, and that she might, in fact, know of his affiliation with Caprica Six, who sabotaged the Colonial defenses. He discreetly arranges for a nuclear warhead to fall into the hands of Gina and the Cylon sympathizers, placing the entire fleet in mortal jeopardy.

Episode Synopsis: The battlestars Pegasus and Galactica go head-to-head with Cylon baseships in a battle that will change the face of the war. But for Lt. Kara Thrace, the real war is with her conscience, as she steels herself to carry out Commander Adama’s order to assassinate Admiral Cain.
When Lee Adama hears from Kara of the order, he confronts his father and challenges the morality and the legality of the order, but Commander Adama remains resolute. For the good of the fleet, he tells his son, Admiral Cain must be eliminated.
Meanwhile, in the Pegasus brig, Pegasus crewmembers brutally assault Galactica prisoners Chief Galen Tyrol and Lt. Karl Agathon, as revenge for the homicide of one of their officers. Only a timely intervention by the Pegasus’s XO halts the beating before it becomes fatal.
As the battle to destroy the Cylons’ “resurrection ship” intensifies, members of both battlestars’ crews are forced to decide how much of their humanity they are willing to sacrifice in order to survive. Ultimately, the fight that begins with heroic self-sacrifice ends in a white-knuckle test of two commanders’ courage, and their character.

The Flash casts Battlestar Galactica alum Aaron Douglas as The Turtle
By: Natalie Abrams
Date: January 11, 2016
Source: Entertainment Weekly
The Flash has tapped Battlestar Galactica alum Aaron Douglas to play the DC Comics villain The Turtle in the midseason premiere, EW has learned exclusively.
In the comics, the 1940s version of the villain used tricks of slowness in battle against Jay Garrick (played on The Flash by Teddy Sears), while his successor, a scientific genus who went by the name Turtle Man, created devices based on slowness to battle Barry Allen (Grant Gustin). On the show, the team hunts down this meta-human who can slow time itself.
“In a surprisingly funny twist, Cisco [Carlos Valdes] has actually been hunting The Turtle the entire series,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says. “To Barry’s surprise, everybody knows about Cisco’s hunt for the great white whale, which is The Turtle; he’s the only one who didn’t know about it. We love the idea that there was a villain out there that they knew about, but they just haven’t bothered to tell the audience about yet. All Barry wants to do is get faster, because if he can get faster, he can take on Zoom. He’s going up against a villain who is literally slowing him down. This is one of our best episodes coming back that we’ve ever done. It feels big and emotional.”
Eagle-eyed BSG fans spotted Douglas, who played cylon Galen Tyrol, a.k.a The Chief, in a recent promo.
The Flash returns Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
#TBT. Screen caps of the Chief in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode 2×11: RESURRECTION SHIP (PART 1). This episode aired 10 years ago on January 6, 2006. #BSG10YEARS.
Episode Synopsis: Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace prevents a potentially deadly face-off between the Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus when she returns at the last second from her unauthorized mission in the blackbird stealth fighter, bearing stunning recon photos of the Cylons’ “resurrection ship.”
Unable to resist this tempting target, Commander William Adama and Admiral Helena Cain establish an uneasy truce as they agree to prioritize the destruction of the resurrection ship, and table their personal and professional conflicts – for now.
Adama remains distrustful, however, when he learns that Cain’s survive-at-all-costs attitude led her to order the Pegasus crew to abandon its own civilian fleet months ago. Disturbed by this news, President Laura Roslin suspects that, as soon as the resurrection ship is destroyed, Cain will jettison the Galactica’s civilian fleet, as well.
As he continues his power struggle against Cain, Adama must make an impossible decision, on the eve of a battle that could change the face of the Cylon war and decide the fate of the human race.
