In'eresting....

Yes.

Given that Baltar cured cancer with Hera's blood before -- won't he cure this thing the same way? (I am glad that Athena has immunity from her pregnancy.)

Now, if Helo and Athena find out about Hera: Helo leaves, Athena stays?

And next week: Dixon!

Okay, now I'm really sad that Lee is no longer the voice of reason and morality. I love Helo for it, but I can't help but feel that I've witnessed the death of why I'd loved Apollo so. I suppose it gels with what little we've seen of how Lee views the Cylon, but I'm still sad.

And I guess Kara visiting Casey got her back on flight status. Still missing the first season where time didn't speed by so fast, causing us to miss all the wonderful steps between A and B.

ooh, sumi, good point that the Cylon hold the key to their salvation and they just don't know it and are torturing the guy who could help. Also, when D'Anna was sticking that thing in his ear, was his cheek blistering/bubbling from the inside out? Ew.

The Galactica should send a card to the Cylons:

Dudes. We totally could have killed all of you.

Phooey on you.

-Galactica crew.

p.s. Say 'hi' to Baltar.

You know, until I saw her in her Viper I hadn't even realized that we hadn't seen anything of Starbuck at all.

He might still be, except for issues of genocide of non-human races. Everyone has their blind-spots.

And they totally should have taken the beacon onboard. (They could have quaranteed it.) But I suppose that would have revealed too much too soon - they gotta have stuff to do for a few more seasons.

I thought that was going to go the other way. That the plan would work, but that Baltar's Basestar, with a few accompanying ships, would have already gone far enough out to avoid the plague and isolate themselves. So we'd wind up with a small fleet of the last surviving Cylons. And I was so very excited about that idea that I'm disappointed now.

I thought Boomer (Athena, whatever; she'll always be Boomer to me) getting magically saved was pretty lame. Though the fact that she literally waved her hand and said "Whatever" while explaining it almost redeemed the whole thing.

I was thinking (before the episode) that Adama could tell the Cylons, "We have a way of killing all of you. So stop following us around and being mean to us." So then humans and Cylons have an uneasy truce, and they go their separate ways, and... show looses all conflict... so my idea sorta' petered out there.

I thought Boomer (Athena, whatever; she'll always be Boomer to me) getting magically saved was pretty lame.

I was thinking that they'd just give her shots once a week or whatever. You know, like many other chronic diseases, she'd just live with it.

I hope you're right, tommy. I think I was just really turned off by the sudden frat-boy callousness from a character that hasn't really experienced anything personal with the Cylon. It's all just very cold. I was also really hoping that with Lee heading the executions, we'd see him do the horrible deed, but the Cylon survive the downloading and now have a personal vengeance against Apollo for executing them. I want some kind of Apollo/Cylon connection! Adama has Boomer, Helo has Athena, Kara has Leoben, Baltar has Six (and now it looks like D'Anna). I just really want to see Apollo's interactions with the Cylon get personal, to any degree.

Also, I was hoping that there'd be some brief Kara interaction with the infected Leoben. Their connection is just to wonderfully f*d up to let the opportunity slip by like that.

me too!
