Holy FRAK!!!!
What a stunning episode - so much revealed; so many threads pulled together - and WHAT an ending. OK, so we knew certain things were coming, but WOW.
If there is no renewal next month, Universal could face a riot...
Absolutely outstanding and very cleverly played.
Nice element of confusion as to Cylon's real motives as well: fighting Starbuck over the arrow, as if they now want it, but allowing their baseship to be destroyed, giving the humans complete access to Kobol...
And a leaderless cimmunity of humans now & Baltar accpeting his "god-given" purpose: what on Kobol (ot off it) is going to happen when he gets back to the fleet?

Spoilers...
So, Six didn't necessarily want Baltar off the Galactica because something bad was going to happen there.
...She wanted him on the mission because she wanted him on Kobol. But, she can't have known that they would have ended up there, unless the presence of the Basestar was intentional, and that Raptor was deliberately targeted, but allowed to land intact.
Even then, landing in such close proximity to the city has to be more luck than judgement...
My head hurts, I'm going to go watch it again.

starbuck especially when she saw boomer. Did I miss something? How did Starbuck know about Boomer? Obviously Boomer shouldn't have been there, but it's still one heck of a conclusion to jump to! |

I suppose Starbuck could have figured that she was the only human that could have got back to Caprica in that time as she had the only ship that could do it. Was that a fight or what between Six and Starbuck!
Looking in the cot was a bit like the Pulp Fiction looking in the briefcase moment, what with the lit up faces.

Adama seemed very keen on locking Roslin up, no hesitation at all, no due process. Does anyone think he might have clocked that Roslin may be under cylon control?
I wonder if he confided in anyone before he was silenced? is that why Boomer did it, to protect the president?
on another note: Organic spaceships? how early nineties. Very disappointing.

A real kick ass show. Six kicked Starbuck's ass, Starbuck kicked Six's ass.
Apollo's gonna get his ass kicked and Roslin may get hers kicked as well.
Adama got his ass shot off and several Boomers got their ass's blown off. OMG, what a show! ;D ;D ;D |

Yeah, but my first reaction would have been "What is Boomer doing here? followed by a few seconds of confusion (as displayed by Helo in the previous episode) before the pieces fell into place.
She just seemed to reach her conclusion a bit too quickly.

Spoilers... So, Six didn't necessarily want Baltar off the Galactica because something bad was going to happen there. ...She wanted him on the mission because she wanted him on Kobol. She wanted him on Kobol and out of the possible firing line, methinks. Yes she could - if she has been in contact with her fellow Cylons the whole time. Again, think back to "Six Degrees" - "Shelly Godfrey" arriving on ship at the precise moment Six vanishes is a BIG coincidence. BUT... The Cylons hatch a plan to push Baltar in the direction they need through the use of "Shelly Godfrey", communicating this to Six, who then makes a last-ditch effort to convert him just before "Godfrey" arrives makes a lot more sense,. Was it a city? The ruin Six took Baltar to looked remarkably like the ruin Roslin saw in her flashes after looking at the pictures of Kobol - so is it the ruins of the Tomb of Athena over which Six created an image in Baltar's head for his benefit? Same here. |

Great comments guys!!
Spoiler beware.
Superb episode even after having seen the gateworld pics. Adama is definitely dead, no way could he survive two point blank bullets in the gut. If he is to return next season then Leoben's admission that Adama is a cylon must be true. The Carprica storyline was amazing, that was a big turnaround for Helo and as for the bitch fight!!!! Were those boomers really naked before watershed?
Please don't delete my comment

Who was the first one that would be here soon? i think that is what six said to baltar. Wasn't it the new member of our family that she said?
I think she means Boomers baby! |

Were those boomers really naked before watershed? They looked it - I'll have to do a frame-by-frame analysis on the video to be sure. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

What did six say to baltar about meeting the first one, I got the impression that was in a cylon number 1 kind of way. Anyone got a take on that.
