The problem with the "kill everyone!" thought process is that she didn't seem to consider Helo an enemy at any point.
We're also talking about a damn good fighter pilot, so I can buy that she'd get from A to C faster than most of us.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Maybe Starbuck just has good instincts? I think she, at least, is used to going on her instinct which is possibly why she was able to realize that 2nd Boomer means Boomer is a cylon very quickly.
(Also, weren't there "Boomer is a cylon" rumors earlier in the season? I mean, aboard Galactica.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This. She was in full-on adrenaline battle mode, so I bought her thinking really fast.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone made that joke during 33, because she never seemed to get tired. But I think it was just a joke.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
just watched BSG. kept waiting for the unexpected and I was not disapointed. Boomer's turn was unexpected, but no tunexpected. the timeing was lovely.
I thought Lee's behavior was very much in character - he is a rules player and doesn't like when things are unfair.
I really liked the idea that I really could pick sides beween the pres and adamas

Pooh. Somehow I missed the second part of the Aquarium finale. Anybody want to give me a thumbnail version, possibly reinacted by bunnies?

Next season's BSG dialog:
Tigh: Boomer's a Cylon. Dude, your Cylon detector didn't work.
Baltar: It did work. I just chose not to tell anyone, for my own reasons.
Tigh: Ah.
But wait - Boomer came to Baltar on her own, right? because of her Cylon Panic. So maybe no one knows Baltar tested her.
Oh, and does Baltar still have his nuke?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Thumbnail: the SGC sends a team led by a jerk of a Colonel, who was a friend of Sumner's and therefore dislikes Shep. They put nuclear warheads into space as mines, to buy time until the Dedalus arrives in 4 days with a ZPM to power the city's defenses.
The Wraith detect and blow up all the mines. Oooops. Waves of darts, strafing, blah blah lots of fighting all over the city. Nice CGI, though.
Elizabeth cuts a deal with the Genii to get one of their nukes to send to the hive ship in a jumper on auto-pilot. They get the nuke, but the auto-pilot doesn't work.
The last few scenes have the city defenses crumbling, Wraith everywhere, and Sheppard piloting a jumper with the Genii nuke inside, heading for the Wraith. He's gonna blow the hive ship. His last words before "to be continued" are: "if this works, somebody's gonna have to do it again..."
That's a very brief overview. It's actually quite good, aside from the cliffhanger part.

OOh, Bear McCreary has some sound files up on his site!
Including something from the finale and that Irish sounding song from "The Hand of God".

Thanks, 'suela. I did see that. I just blanked out the part where it wasn't continued this past week, rather than next season.
