I was actually surprised when the bad guy turned out to be the guy Dean didn't kill. I was so thinking it was the doctor. Though as soon as Dwayne said he had to make a call, I knew what was about to happen. Nice call-back to last season, there.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I'm sorry. I can't even stop myself from flailing about how Dean+Impala+J-Turn=HOT LIKE BURNING, so I hardly can offer advice on how to handle the emotional content or thoughts on canon.
As far as I've managed to get, and this was pre-episode, at the concert Jilli and I were at last night, is to map the Winchesters to Blood (Dean), Love (John), and Rhetoric (Sam) based on the discussion in here about family units and John's sacrifice in IMToD. (It's so weird to think I didn't watch the show yet then. That was about two days before I got into it.)
And I think that really, really only makes sense in my head.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Weren't they both getting a painful feedback sound/feeling though?
Well, they were both looking into mirrors facing mirrors, with each one being a mirror.

Art Crawl!!!
The Jimmy/Chloe was very cute on Smallville.
Wow. Jane Espenson got to kill CAT.
That rocked.
Umm, are there 4 branches (divisions? wings?) of the Air Group?
And I thought that the Doctor was very enjoyable.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Dr. Where?
and
Finally! Kat is dead Kat gets the heroic exit she deserves
Except for her ever so annoying scenes, I really enjoyed much of this ep, I got a great, tense "33" vibe, thought HotDog was gonna buy it there (but I guess they had to save that heroic gesture for Kat, *fbpt*), and yes, as much as I couldn't stand her and the writer's need to drag up yet another "Oh I'm so guilty! I coulda been party to the Cylon infiltration of the Colonies" (and WTF with Kara's hashing up old grudges? Is she still doing that "wanting to tear everyone's eyes out" thing?) I still got a little weepy near the end. But then Adama putting Kat's name in the CAG position kinda irked. It seemed too... special? Sappy? Is my hate for her flavoring this episode like that "too much dill" incident I had back in highschool?
eta: ah, I forgot. JE being said writer would explain the ending...

Art Crawl!!!
Well, I think so.
Of course, we could have had backstory on what things were like when Cat was CAG during the New Caprica backstory last week but you know, the good stuff just didn't fit.
(I guess Helo's back to being a pilot.)

I even forgot that Kat had ever been CAG!

Fifth looks hot as a former drug runner. All scruffy and stuff. Nice.
I think I enjoyed the ep. Kat was never a favorite of mine, so I'm not especially pained that she's gone. Starbuck's behavior is still sort of mysterious (not in the good way) to me, but whatever. I'm digging that Deanna's arc is finally taking off a bit. The preview for next week looks eeeeenterestink.
I also thought Hot Dog was in trouble there for a second.
Gaeta. Not happy the Colonel is back, eh? Yeah, I guess not. I sort of adored Tigh snapping at everyone to quit the effing clapping at get back to work. I totally missed what Adama and Tigh were cracking up about (I got distracted, so I didn't hear), but I did enjoy what I saw of it. Definitely had the "we're so screwed, but damn that's (whatever it is) funny, and we need a release" vibe, and who hasn't been there? That was nicely done.
Loved seeing Jane E's name in the credits!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I totally missed what Adama and Tigh were cracking up about (I got distracted, so I didn't hear)
Adama asked if people were still eating paper and Tigh responded with "no, paper shortage" deadpan. that was a good scene.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
really digging the turn the subplot with Baltar and D'Anna is taking.
Also loved Baltar calling the Cylons fleas on a dog, or whatever he referred to the basestar as. Also loved Sleepy!Caprica.
I also thought Athena was going to buy it in the beginning and she'd be downloaded, winding back on some basestar (most likely the one Baltar is on!).
