Well I meant the CGI didn't look up to snuff with the other Cylon ships. The old school raiders were indeed cool. Wonder if their piloted by old school centurions. If I recall, one the sixes mentioned that they still had their uses.
Edit: It is freaking huge, just look at the basestar next to it in the first picture.

I loved Adama being sick of all the mumbo jumbo and prophecies. We needed a bit of that after the recent series of exposition heavy episodes.
The mythology does seem to be moving forwards again though. Baltar explicitly calls his internal Six an Angel now, further strengthening the idea that the head-characters are some kind of messengers from Cylon God or some other guiding power.
And Anders is now Galactica's Hybrid. This means Galactica now could be the Dying Leader, since it has some kind of sentience, and Anders seems to have the most lucid Cylon memories, so it could definitely lead the Fleet to.. wherever it's going, presumably the Colony.
That Colony is really gigantic. Could it really only have been built during the latest Cylon War? Or it is an older construction?

I know Hera's supposed to be 3, but she looks a lot closer to my own daughter's age at 5. Because of that, several of the scenes really made me uncomfortable. I imagine Lee will be in the same boat with me on this one.

Who ever predicted Anders being Galactica's hybrid... seriously there are spoilers/hybrids posting amongst us people!!
The end shot was wonderful. The only problem this episode didn't go on long enough. Now i've watched so many together in one hit - and it's nearing the end - I don't want it to stop.
Was nice to see the fleet captains again.
Adama said half had gone. Does that mean that half of the ship mutinied? They were all put to death or died in the chaos?
Why would Kara stop wondering about what she is just after Baltar has a yelling fit? Or does it mean she has finally just accepted that she was/is dead?
I didn't like how Hera now cried out for Boomer and not her mother. I assume it's just because she was more familiar than Cavil.
What did he mean that she'd have playmates??
I think Boomer will now have another change of heart after Hera calling her name.
The memorial scenes... were they separate or did everyone listen to all three people speaking? Adama/Baltar/Ellen?
One of the sixes is called Sonya - what episode did we meet a Sonya?
Does anyone else prefer six with the long, curly red hair? What is Tricia Helfer's real hair colour? Is that it - or is that another wig?

I think the only mutineers that were executed were Zarek and Gaeta, the rest (including Celix and Racetrack) are on the Astral Queen.
As for Hera's playmates, my first thought was the centurions...but maybe he was just being sarcastic. On the other hand, (Lee & B.J.: don't read this part) maybe they still have some human children in captivity.

I don't think it's been directly addressed, but RDM did mention them being locked up on the Astral Queen in one of his podcasts.

You expect an emotional Kara to have a logical basis for her feeling and actions? What show have you been watching!?

Well they've clearly made a connection (finally) though it's a bit inconsistent as to whether or not Hera can tell Athena from the other Eights. Notably, she didn't protest much, or indeed give any indication that she knew Boomer wasn't her mother when she took her out of daycare.
quote:I think Boomer will now have another change of heart after Hera calling her name.
Sure, but then she has a profound change of heart every time the wind changes or she gets an itchy nose. I think the skittishness of the eights is something even Athena has commented on.
quote:The memorial scenes... were they separate or did everyone listen to all three people speaking? Adama/Baltar/Ellen?
Well everyone was there at the end, so it looks like everyone attended a joint service. To do otherwise would be rather rude.
quote:One of the sixes is called Sonya - what episode did we meet a Sonya?
Sonja only showed up in "Someone to Watch Over Me", as the Cylon representative to the Quorum. One assumes she's replaced Natalie as the rebel leader.

Not sure about that one, but I'm pretty sure you see a wig and dye-less Tricia at some point in season 1 or 2 (I forget exactly when.) It's when Harvey-Six changes her appearance to mess with Baltar.
