I'm right there with you.

No BSG thoughts? I'm dying to hear what you all have to say about this one.

Awwwww, Adama is going after the woman he loves, and finally admits it.

Things will hit the fan when he finds out he left a Cylon in charge of the fleet. And did Tigh really impregnate Six or was it Baltar? If it's Tigh then isn't that the first actual Cylon-Cylon baby?

Just can't get my head around NewApollo being president and OldApollo being VP. Lee has done nothing to deserve this, seems like a cop out to bring something to end, altough I don't know what.

She's dying anyway... when did he suddenly believe in miracles

Lee has done nothing to deserve this

And wasn't it incredibly transparent what they were leading up to.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

wow. I knew that Lee would be the perfect candidate (aka "perfectly transparent") for president once the subject came up, but I so did not anticipate Romo's reaction. My cat was on me when Romo pulled the gun and I couldn't check the time on the clock, but I was so scared that was the end of the episode. The show really seems to do Conviction!Lee well (superbly) but in between they just flounder with him. Jamie Bamber really shone when giving Romo a piece of his mind at gunpoint. It almost made me wonder if that was Romo's whole point: to see what Lee was really made of --with no intention of actually killing him??? Put his feet over the fire ::flashes on Firefly and the thing about Shan Yu, the volcano, and finding out who your neighbor really is that Book told Simon::

Also, confused on when exactly the cat died, since Lee said it'd been dead for a week(s?) and we just saw it and I don't think that much time passed.

Did not expect Natalie to die once we saw she made it through the first several moments, but loved and was intrigued by Cottle's taking of her hand.

Adama and Roslin, sitting in a tree....

Still weirded out by confirmation that Tigh and Six have been getting it on. How the hell did the medical staff find out she was pregnant? Don't they have to run a specific test for that?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Maybe it was time for her annual PAP smear.

Cottle was tired of listening to Gaeta sing so he ran some useless tests. Its not like pregnancy tests are in high demand in deep space.

Juliebird, forgot about Cottle and Natalie. Loved that scene. Isn't that a huge step for Cottle with his reaction to Cylons?

As for Six's pregnancy, Cottle told Adama the medical staff was performing tests on her, so they must have had her pee on the stick. Yeah, I know they just need blood.

It's gotta be Baltar's baby. How old is Saul? How tough is it for a Cylon to get pregnant?

Isn't that a huge step for Cottle with his reaction to Cylons?

During the occupation on New Caprica, he was treating humans and cylons alike. He never differentiated between them.

Art Crawl!!!

I know - what was that cat we were seeing? Or are we meant to think that weeks have passed? But - cameo appearance by Jake!

Hearing Adama being called "Husker" was excellent - and seeing him waiting in the raptor while everyone else jumped away was very touching.

I wonder why Cottle ran a pregnancy test?

My guess is that the Three is talking to somebody else (i.e, Anders) in the promo - and they've just made it look like she was speaking to Roslin.

SJA: What a good dog!

Doctor Who - "Are you my mummy?" Hee. And that flash of Rose. . . I wish the Doctor would bring Donna's grandpa on a TARDIS trip.
