Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So -- there was no Perry Mason moment with Gaeta being revealed to be a Cylon in the courtroom? That is one of the foilers out there.

Heh - no, that one's a foiler.

Oh, I almost forgot! Dee leaves Lee after he officially becomes one of Baltar's lawyers. (Guess he wasn't quite as much like the old man as she'd hoped...)

Thank goodness that's over. That relationship never clicked for me, at all.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think that Bob Dylan is the fifth Cylon. I mean, right??

(Please tell me they used the Hendrix version of the song.)

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, please.

Wow! Thank you, Jessica! I don't have enough !!! available.

Indeed it didn't seem likely we had seen the last of Kara. I'm looking forward to seeing Lee and Baltar break out of their ruts.

Eeeep, I have to read again because I read so quickly...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jessica,

what a STRAIGHT UP AWESOME narrative. I have had the most tiring week and you rock hard! Thanks so much. That is totally awesome. I can't wait to watch these eps.

(Please tell me they used the Hendrix version of the song.)

On the temp track at least, it's a cover version I didn't recognize. I don't know what they'll end up using for the broadcast. (They may also replace it entirely, but then the lines that Tyrol, Sam and Tori recite won't really make sense.)

(PS, spoiler feedback is TEH BEST CRACK EVAR. I'd almost forgotten how much fun spoiling is! Silly me!)

Spoilers are also teh best crack evar. I don't know why I gave up spoiling.

Jess, you did an awesome job with that. I feel like I have to read it all through again too, like Laura. Each time one of your posts ended, I felt the same way I do after an awesome cliff hanger.

What did you like best about it? Also? Do the four (Tigh, Anders, Tori, and Chief) seem like they really didn't know they were Cylons? I mean -- is their shock real.

Oh, it's very real. At the end of the ep, they're all still in shock, and not a small amount of denial. Unlike Boomer, who was activated to do something (she didn't know for sure she was a Cylon until she shot Adama), these four seem to have simply been switched on. They know they're Cylons, but they don't know why. They don't know what they've been programmed for, why they were placed in the fleet, or why they've been activated now. So they're all not only freaked out that they're Cylons, they're freaked out that they might be programmed to sabotage the fleet in ways they're not aware of yet.

I think the Final Five might be a Cylon splinter group with a completely separate agenda from the other 7. It's just a hunch, but I can't shake the feeling that 4/5 (at least) of them being the leaders of the human resistance on New Caprica is significant. That they have a different plan, and that it's somehow connected to Earth.

What did you like best about it?

The editing. The construction of the narrative, especially of the second half, is pure brilliance, the way it builds.

I have basically not been able to watch this entire season (I caught the first two or three eps, and that was it).

I really need to catch up on BSG.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh it is fantastic fun to be spoiled as well. I enjoy reading your spoils more than the actual shows sometimes. Which? Craxy.

But now I am looking forward to the next eps much more than I was at the end of the last show. Go figure.
