I really fucking hate Gaeta.

The sad thing is Gaeta used to be one of my favorite characters.
Then he perjured himself during Baltar's trial and it's all been downhill from there.

A cracking episode and a great payoff from all of last week's setting up. I wonder, though, is the Cylon baseship really the safest place for Roslin, Baltar and the others? You'd think destroying that ship would be one of Gaeta's next moves already, and even moreso if they're all aboard it too.

Man I'm torn. While I don't approve of Gaeta's actions at least I can understand where he's coming from. And yet, you almost got Adama killed, D-bag.

"I wonder, though, is the Cylon baseship really the safest place for Roslin, Baltar and the others?" Aside from Galactica, it's surely the best-defended ship in the fleet. Plus, it's the only one that they can be pretty sure is not being run by the anti-Cylon coup.

That wounded basestar is still very powerful and it seems Admiral Gaeta has his hands full with inexperienced crew manning Galactica.

Still there's a chance they can still destroy the basestar, which appears to be on its last legs.

The baseship is well defended (it looks a bit like it's being repaired, actually), but with Zarek's biggest rival and the only person who can discredit Gaeta (Batlar) on board along with the Cylons, blowing up the baseship would get rid of a lot of problems for the leaders of the coup.
A showdown between the two ships definitely looks like it's on the cards next week.

Galactica could also easily dispatch any civilian ship with little effort. At least the baseship can make a fight out of it.

Also? Adama and Tigh made a frakkin' awesome pair of action heroes this week.

I almost felt sorry for those two guards, I knew they didn't stand a chance. Actually I'm surprised they didn't put a larger guard on those two.

So I had a thought regarding Cavil. Everyone seems to assume he's going to show up and try to kill everyone. But he's not stupid. Excepting possibly Boomer, he has no women! Unless he knows more about the unknown third parties than we do, killing everyone in the fleet eliminates any chance for Cylon civilization as well as human.

Are ALL the Sixes and Eights part of the rebellion?

Maybe he's just so pissed he doesn't care.

I was going to say that Cavil's too old to care anyway, but then I remembered him and Ellen. (Time to re-repress THAT memory, I think!)

Good question. If that were the case you'd think there'd be other rebel Basestars out there.
Regardless, I'm sure the Cylons still have a "stock" of captive humans from the colonies, any stray ships they picked up and even New Caprica.

I think there's only one rebel basestar because the rebels only managed to reprogram/delobotomize the centurions on one basestar. On all the other basestars, the centurions obeyed the majority vote of the skinjobs.

And it's entirely possible that, although the rebels are only made up of Sixes, Eights, and Twos, not ALL of the members of those models rebelled.

It's been a while, but I seam to recall the cylons all voting the same within their models (save Boomer.) It stands to reason the schism reaches further than a single Basestar. Of course it's possible that without the aid of sapient Centurions all the other 6's, 8's and 2's throughout the...empire, I suppose...were slaughtered and boxed.

That's what contributed to the rebellion. The models were evenly matched in voting until Boomer voted with Cavil (thus nullifying the 8s votes).
As for Cavil being too old... do Cylon skinjobs age and show their age like humans? All the Cavil models we've seen look the same way. Perhaps this model was designed to look "old," no matter his true age.

There was also that massive basestar graveyard so maybe that's where the rest of the rebels were slaughtered.

Finally got to watch this one last night. Damn! I suppose it fits with her character, but I'm sad to see Racetrack siding with Gaeta. She's saved the fleet more times than I can remember, and is pretty much an unsung hero in my book. And Zarek probably killed the only person with an engineering degree in the fleet. As an engineer myself, I took that one kinda hard.

They did say that baseships regrow damaged parts before.
