But it looked humanoid. What is it a hybrid of, and how is it different from the Cylon models?
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You think so? I thought she was talking sense, what with Starbuck and Tigh being total assholes.
They were, but even so. When she was whining about how bad it was in the fleet? Dur. It's not that it didn't suck, but have some sense, woman. It was like saying, "Oh, you were in a concentration camp? Whatever, let me tell you about how much it sucked for us here, with the food stamps and all." She totally deserved to be talked down to, but then of course Tigh & Starbuck had to escalate everything. I think Kat's psychotic competitiveness (she's like my family!) is leading to her trying to out-martyr Starbuck. Which is just not going to happen.

Oh, I absolutely agree with you there. They cannot even BEGIN to compare. It's pretty much classic Galactica: they're both right and they're both wrong.

What is it a hybrid of, and how is it different from the Cylon models?
I thought it was not completely humanoid, just partly, and couldn't get out of its tub. I figured it was a hybrid of the skinjob technology and the technology behind the raiders, but that was all just me thinking about it.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who
What didn't ring true for me in DW was Rose being all broken up about leaving Mickey behind. She never seemed to be particularly attached to him before and would leave him behind at a moment's notice to follow the Doctor. The only time she seemed to take an interest was when he volunteered to come along.

She did seem to take him for granted a lot. But they were friends for a long time, and now she's never ever never going to see him again. (Plus she was in a weird emotional place with not!dad... abandonment issues ahoy?)

Oh yes, what the crew of Galactica went through cannot compare to what the folks who got left behind on New Caprica went through -- and that's just the general population. Then you get to Tigh and Kara --there's just no comparison.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Also did I miss where the one Cyberman saying "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" as the very last line of the first part of this two parter was explained?
It was saying "Delete! Delete! Delete!", right? I didn't hear "Dammit!"
I thought Rose being sad about Mickey was totally understandable. As much as she loves travelling with the Doctor, there's a part of her that's strongly tied to home, too, and Mickey represented part of her life back in London. He's one of her oldest friends, and now she'll never see him again; her London won't be quite the same when she returns. Plus, these episodes were all about realizing how awesome Mickey is. She finally gets it, how he's worthy of her love--even if it's not the same kind of love as she has for the Doctor--and now he's leaving her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was waiting for someone to mention that Kara spent much time in a nice cushy apartment during the occupation, but I can see how no one might dare.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, she also had the jolly good fun of killing her companion, repeatedly.
