Right - Zarek was a very interesting character - and Richard Hatch played him really well.

Doesn't it feel like a fire sale on deaths of named characters, though?

I was about to say "I don't expect them to stop at Wash and Book", except I don't think they've reached that level, yet. When one of the final Five go, or Lee (again and for realz) or Adama or Roslin bite it (or Starbuck, again). But, I guess I've read the interviews, whatnot, and expected the redshirts to start being replaced with regular cast members.

I really truly thought Roslin was toast last ep (before the previews spoiled it) and thought there was a chance that Adama was toast for this ep and that Roslin would indeed unleash holy helly on his behalf.

But, no, I'm personally not getting the "everything must go" vibe.

Loved this ep!

All of Tyrol's crawling through the infrastructure had me shouting "Jeffries tubes!!" at the screen. I figured it was RDM's little tribute to Star Trek, although being BSG, the tubes were really tight and a bitch to get through.

Dee, Feliz, Zarek, Laird, Skulls (he did buy it, right?), the Quorum (I count them as one), and maybe others whose names I didn't know because I'm bad at it since the final eps started is what gave me that feeling. But, yeah, they can't keep going at this rate.

And yet - unless Sam is dead they didn't kill one Cylon, did they?

Some revolution...

So did the ex-Chief find damage to the jump drive? Will upgrading to Cylon FTL fix that, or is it too late?

I thought it was damage to the ship's hull. I'm not sure that anything can fix it and if so - it probably means that the ship should be in dry dock while being fixed. (Whatever dry dock means for a space ship.)

For really truly recognizable character deaths, I count Dee, Gaeta and Zarek. Potentially Anders (with an equally potential comeback). The others don't ping me as readily, easily recognizable characters, even if they've been on the show for awhile. Tertiary but regular characters like Kelly or Connor or even Racetrack, they don't ping me. Frankly, Scarlet, they're just not that important for me to care.

Now, I've always liked Racetrack and wished she'd been given a larger role and thought she had way more potential than Dee, but if she died, whatev.

They're wrapping the show up, what else should I expect? Roslin, Adama, Lee, Starbuck, Tigh, Gaeta, Dee, Anders, Tyrol, etc. should have been dead long before now. I get that possibly they're easing us into it. (of course, if all the pretty core people survive to the bitter pre-movie-end, then that'll be another discussion.)

C'mon...the entire Quorum has to count for, like, one person.

Okay, the Quorum I will grant you as cleaning house.

But I'm okay with that. Unless the next six episodes deal with establishing a new Quorum.
