Dee's suicide: I was also getting a vibe that Dee wanted kids, but why bother with such a bleak future? But I think Gaeta would be more in tune with Dee's desire to end her life happy than Lee would be.

And Kara is going to keep that secret.

I loved how they set it up that Kara might tell Lee about finding her own dead body, but once the news of Lee's other love dying hit, there was no "So, you wanted to tell me something?" "Oh, nevermind, it's not that important." They just ended the scene.

Juliebird - exactly.

Kathy - I don't think I heard THAT. The flashbacks certainly lookly Earthesque.

And they're still putting up new clues on the youwilllearnthe truth site.

I forget, beyond the final fifth cylon, was there another cylon still left to be revealed?

Either way, I'm so glad they got the FF out of the way off the bat.

I just had a sad thought reading over on TWoP: with Leoben so freaked over Kara, I doubt we'll see much of him anymore. I'm still trying to wipe the taste of the second X-Files movie out of my brain.

Officially, there are 12 cylons but I could swear that there are theories about a possible 13th cylon - that could be Starbuck. . . because what the hell is she?

My first thought after the reveal of the cylon inhabitants of Earth was that the follow through is: if the inhabitants of Earth spread out to the other colonies, then by default all the colonies are populated by Cylon decendants of those that escaped Earth. Everyone is a Cylon. But the episode never hit on that. But I'm also really really fuzzy on my BSG lore.

Also, what the hell with finally making a character interesting (again) only to kill her? Why does character death bring out the good writing and the tight focus?

Yeah, I thought they were saying basically that we're all Cylons (those of us that live on Earth). I told DW, "You're a frakkin toaster!"

So, if the "final five" have memories of being alive on Earth previously, then... were they the only ones? If the entire colony, or at least large pockets of it, were Cylon, then were there only five forms? Or were there more, that we haven't met yet? Or were there iterations of the other forms we've already met, and they just don't have any memory of it?

So, how about that Smallville?

I'm low on lore too, but it seemed pretty blatant that the truth will be that the problem isn't that there is no Earth, but that there are no humans.

Which makes Adama's speech even more poignant.

What do you decide to be when you find out you aren't you? That shit is deep.

It also screams of Planet of the Apes and Pogo. "We have seen the face of the enemy and it is us."
