Which reminds me of how very little Apollo there was. By the last act I was wondering, "Did he die, off-screen? Of, like, an infected hangnail? Because that would be funny."

I'm surprised he wasn't involved, on one side or the other, in the election shenanigans.

I want to know why he was looking for Starbuck -- to capture her and imprison her?

I'm pretty sure it was something to do with the surgery and stuff on Old Caprica.

Yeah, model Thirteen is probably a Starbuck clone by now.

Leoben's the one who thought Starbuck was important, and knew all about her mother, way back in S1.

Heh. All of this has happened before, and all of this has happened again, after all. History's spiraling in on itself. Nautilus!

Pardon my brain. But yeah, my impression is that they think Starbuck's a key figure. And I don't know if I need to whitefont this, but it's speculation based on the S3 teaser ad that ran right after the show:

if they've now decided (going by the ads) that their role is to be caretakers of the human race, Starbuck would be a person of interest. I love the idea that the Cylons are now (I'm guessing) benevolent dictators. Or at least that's what they believe they are. Fantastic.

I don't think you need to whitefont that, as I think it was implied in the episode itself.

My head hurts. Commentary is done. Episode has left me in a sad mood.

Amazing show....

I hate time jumps... BUT WOW!!!

Seriously though, BEST. Make-up. Ever. For what they did to Lee to make him look so frumpy and plain. I think he even had a double chin to go with his perm. YIKES.

I hate Blanders. Die.

I also Hate how they seem to go for nasty Kara to tame Kara.... just bring back Starbuck.

Very nervious about October.

Tivo cut off the last few seconds.

Dh is yelling. and then, as I am trying to fix things he's going "oh well, it is only tv" (silly man - I had a solution) thank the gods for the 130 rerun

For the first half hour I was wondering what all the FRAK was about . know I know- but I can't really even think yet because I need my last few seconds.

[cross-post with LJ]

I really liked it. The one thing I didn't get is why Starbuck just let that Dean Stockwell cylon show up and it didn't raise any eyebrows. Other than that, I'm really looking forward to October. (October! Why do we have to wait that long??)

I like that Roslin is back to teaching kids and that she is watching over the cylon baby. Did Maya call her Isis? Anyway, it's a very Moses story. Maybe the Cylon baby will lead the humans to the promised land.

The element to the story I liked the most is that Adama/Roslin made the right choice, but it was so wrong! I'm curious what the "right" thinking would have been in that situation. Do you steal an election for the greater moral good?

Oh, and I loved that Gina was a true Cylon to the end. I mean, here we have Gaius, who has screwed/betrayed humanity twice now and he was dumb enough to believe, both times, that Six/Gina loved him when she was really just playing him. (I guess she loved him AND was playing him. Even better.) I thought they did a nice job of telling that story twice without making it seem like it had already been done.

I suppose Sharon is still on Galactica, but that's something I'm looking forward to seeing. Also, I'm wondering what Zarek is now up too. I'm surprised he wasn't with Chief. I think there are lots of cool possibilities for next season.

It doesn't seem like the 12 colonies have a solid set of rules for impeachment. Gaius was doing some madness of King George shit and you'd think that his VP would be leading some counter strategy to get better leadership of the Colonies.

It is somewhat surprising to me that no one seemed to mention the effect of setting off a nuclear device. Do we know how many people were killed?

Given how much populace agitation there was while Roslin was in office, I'm surprised that more people in the know didn't try to launch a information campaign to figure out if moving to the planet was the right way to go.
