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.

Sumi, which episode of Doctor Who, I'm confused (watch from the BBC but a couple weeks behind now so maybe at Sci Fi pace.

What is Cottle's attitude toward Cylons? On New Caprica he treated Cylons and Humans without making a difference.

The word is that Cylons can't get pregnant unless love is involved and Saul certainly loves Ellen. Also, I wonder if there is some mechanism whereby if you can't resurrect, you reproduce.

We just saw "The Poison Sky".

Even if it's not Saul's baby, he's been bumping uglies, based on his reaction to the news. He believes it, doesn't deny, thinks it's his, which means there's a reason he thinks it his, which means uglies bumpings.

Actually, Becky, Cottle's been fairly fair-minded towards the Cylons, especially when it comes to them as his patients. He hasn't discriminated as far as I can recall when it comes to the welfare of human and Cylon life. Although this may be the first that we've seen an overtly compassionate gesture on his part.

x-posty.

The Poison Sky

I guess I'm two ahead then.

I forgot about Cottle's actions on New Caprica. I had it in my mind that he disliked Cylons as much as Tigh.

I'm still confused if Tigh seeing Ellen is all in his head, or if Six is manipulating his mind.

Donna's gramps rocks!

Seeing Adama alone in that raptor made me flash on "Dog With Two Bones" and Crichton is alone after Moya is sucked into a wormhole and Aeryn leaves him and he's low on fuel. Though hopefully with not such an ass-pully follow-up ep of being safe in some new place without the how. Cheap! /issues

Remember the episode where Six is explaining to Baltar how Cylons can manipulate their perception of their outside world. I think its all Saul's doing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's gotta be Baltar's baby.

Six and Baltar have been apart way too long for it to be his baby.

How old is Saul?

Doesn't matter - he's a guy.

How tough is it for a Cylon to get pregnant?

Before Sharon, they (Cylons) thought it was impossible.

It's not so implausible for Cottle to have discovered a pregnancy - if he's running blood tests it'd be pretty hard for him to miss her hormone levels doing the wacky.

I liked a lot of things about this ep, but the maneuvering it took to get Lee inaugurated was pretty agonizing. And the payoff to the Lee v Romo angstfest is...Romo gets a dog? Sreiously?

But I loved everything to do with Adama and Tigh. Tigh's little eyeroll when Adama said whatever it was about "we learned a lot about you / weren't the same man who came back from New Caprica" was PRICELESS. Best facial expression EVAR.

But OMGWTF LEE AS PRESIDENT? SERIOUSLY??? How can anyone think this is a good idea? Have they MET Lee?

And while I'm on the subject, Adama, WHAT THE FRAK? You're leaving TIGH. IN. CHARGE. This is a BAD. I. DEA. It doesn't matter how much you love Laura, LEAVING TIGH IN CHARGE OF THINGS WILL NOT END WELL.

And we're all agreed that D'eanna's talking to Anders in the promo, right? Nice try with the fakeout, promo editors, but come on.
