Awww no. Noooo. I frakkin liked Cally. She was so cute. And a smack to the face that sent her cartwheeling like that should have snapped her neck like a twig and shattered her jaw. Which raises another question - if the Chief's been a Cylon all along then how come when he was pummeling the everfucking shit out of her head, he didn't just turn it into thick orange paste? I mean a normal human could break her face and jaw like that; a humanoid Cylon should've really ... well, killed her. MAYBE SHE'S A CYLON TOO AND THAT'S HOW SHE COULD SURVIVE BOTH HITS!! *cough*
I liked 1701D too.
I bet the Sixes et al. aren't quite out of the running yet. They only showed one basestar being destroyed before they cut away.
OK so maybe the Final Five are evil after all. Maybe the reason the other Seven purposefully forgot about them was that they were *too* evil and killed the hell out of the other Cylons too. Or, maybe they were *really* deep 'sleepers' -- so deep they didn't know until long after the attack and the other Cylons made it taboo to even think about them. Deep, deep cover in other words. Might help explain why Six said she was programmed not to think about them and yet seemed perfectly capable of doing so - and so did Three, obviously. And the rest of them are talking about them out loud at this point. Maybe the memories have been triggered to begin coming to the surface now that the sleepers are awake.

Presumably, the Penultimate Four did not have access to their superpowers until they realized they were Cylons. Otherwise, it seems like they would have noticed before that they were superstrong, etc.

Boomer never engaged in any feats of strength (though I think she may have aired a few grievances?) prior to her awakening either. On camera, anyway.
I am sure bummed about Cally. But I loved that final shot of Tyrol and Adama sitting there. And I wonder how Tigh will approach another man whose wife was sacrificed for A Cause. (Though I guess Tori may not bother telling him and/or Anders, if they ever see each other again. Why should she, in fact? Still, it is a dynamic I'd like to see.)

Also, did anyone notice the rank change? Anders is an Ensign apparently, but NuBSG has been running on non-naval ranks for as far as I can remember...

In the painting Starbuck was working on, did anyone else think that the trinary stars bore more than a little resemblance to the Ships of Light from the original series?

Those cocky Centurions are up to no good, I tell you! The dusting Cylon-maid was not amused!
This episode was just so good! I love Cottle and Zarek. Cally was pretty good too, and it was a surprise to see Tory 'go Cylon'.
So it appears what we saw last week only occured on one Basestar, and spread out to a handful of fellow Basestars shortly after. What I didn't really understand was if the split was between basestars or between the models.. Are there still Sixes on Cavil's Basestar, or how does that work?
I did find it hard to believe Adama could afford to lose 4 (or more) of their top Viper pilots and the CAG to Kara's mission. With Lee on the Quorum, who is the CAG now?

Appropriate that Starbuck now has a Moby Dick obsession.
Did Tori kill Kalli primarily to keep the secret or was that just a bonus?
I'm just a simple 21st century human yet I could smell the setup as soon as Cavil suggested unboxing D'eanna. Why couldn't the others figure it out? I'm agreeing with the assessment that this civil war isn't over. Perhaps it was just one basestar. That makes sense in light of what we talked about last week. The Sixes and their group were only one one basestar and their "rebellion" hadn't spread to the rest of the fleet yet.
::shrugs:: dunno. Not like they'll kill off all the other Cylons though. Not yet.
Unless there is some miracle to their resurrection, Kalli isn't one of the final 5. On the other hand, had she been a Cylon that would have taken care of Hera no longer being the only hybrid baby.
There was discussion last week about Tigh and Tyrol's memories. The key is finding someone that knew these people their whole lives. Can we find anyone that knows or remembers Tyrol or Tigh as children? Are their parents or families still alive?
Otherwise Tigh and Tyrol's memories of childhood and growing up are simply imiplanted. Someone else's memories.
Which brings us back to the Eye of Jupiter. Why did Tyrol get programmed with that memory?

Yup, and so did the comet that we saw streaking past what looked like Jupiter. I never liked the Ship of Lights business in the original series, but since this is all going quite mystical anyway, why not throw them in?
Wasn't it a bit stupid of Lee to bring the folder marked "Classified" to the Quorum meeting? It's not going to take much for Roslin to figure out that Zarek gave him it. Seemed like unnecessary cover blowing.
Cally dying might not have bothered me so much a while ago, but I felt she was really coming into her own in this episode. It would have been interesting to see her dealing with Tyrol being a Cylon over a few episodes with a final confrontation between the two, but I suppose they're saving that for the inevitable moment when Kara discovers what Anders really is.
To tell the truth, I find it hard to keep track of what's going on with the Cylons. Somebody needs to make a flow chart. I get the feeling that the writers aren't quite sure how to deal with it all and the ambiguity of the Cylons' social structure is partly unintentional.

No one has has mentioned the look on Anders face when Starbuck was saying how she feels so disconnected from herself now. He knows exactly how she feels.
$$Razor $poiler$$ (just in case) In Razor did the hybrid say that Starbuck was the harbinger of doom for humanity or just the harbinger of doom that what's her name took to mean for humanity? /end $poiler$$

I'm surprised they didnt go with the glowly-spine-sex-routine with Anders.
