Due to the show’s arc-heavy approach, I likely will be reviewing ever other episode this season. “Retribution” had a faster-than-last-season pace and some decent acting. The comic-opera costumes and flourishes have been left behind on Gemenon. I thought Sister Clarisse acted a little too openly– no one saw her set off the explosive device?– but I found this an interesting episode.
Last week the show referenced Julius Caesar; this week, Graystone recalls more than a little Macbeth.
Anyone else?

Well it’s getting better… not sure to what end.
[spoiler]I’m curious to see how Spike… I mean Barnabus escaped the building before it bomb went off. Because yea, you know he did.[/spoiler]

Probably, but I’m hoping he’ll stay dead. The character has been one-note, and his survival would be a lot more far-fetched than Amanda Graystone’s.

Maybe he’ll end up in the virtual Caprica?

Maybe they’re all already in the Virtual Caprica.
Seriously, though, your explanation is the one that would make sense.
