Visually the supernova and the sky above the temple was stunning.
Adama not launching the nukes; didn’t think he would however not a man known for bluffing so small, worried moment there. I like that he and Roslin still have a relationship after the Hera reveal and would like to know more about how that’s working out for them.
D’Anna refusing to recall the raider. Cylon internal politics seems to be a matter of reaching consensus through discussion and shared ‘obvious’ truths and it throws them when it falls apart. They tend to assume a very similar starting viewpoint so I get why the group decide the entire model 3 has to be boxed. That ‘messianic’ complex and it’s associated solipsism must drive them crazy. Very similar to their decision to 'remove' the human race.
I wonder if this mode of decision-making is inherently doomed to failure since Cylons get more individual as time passes. The Leoben model doesn’t seem to be represented much in council and the 3s are now on the outs. I wonder how much conflict there is between instances of the same model. All the 3s seem to be in accord but Boomer and Athena aren’t exactly on the same page.
I’d love to know how it’s technically possible to just shut down all the threes – indistinguishable from humans indeed! I could understand killing them all and storing the mental templates but how did they turn D’Anna off when she was embodied?
What did Cavil mean when he stopped D’Anna?
"To look upon the faces of the final five. That can't happen"
Who did D’Anna see in the temple?
"You. Forgive me. I had no idea."
I’m trying to remember who D’Anna might need to apologise to and coming up blank.
I love that we’re still in the dark about Baltar’s prospective Cylon-ness and that he’s back with Galactica. How convenient that Caprica is back on the Galactica as well.
Athena flat surprised me; until Helo shot her I had no idea what she was asking for. Helo's dignity when confronting Roslin was GREAT, I love Helo, he’s so damn dripping with personal integrity it hurts.
Boomer is still so hurt and angry, trying to be a mother to Hera must have been very painful for her. I think the New Caprica occupation was incredibly damaging for all of them, they walked in with all these naïve ideals and utterly failed to actualise them.
I like the way Lee sent his wife into danger to save Sam’s wife to try and resolve the ‘stay and fight’ situation. I never doubted that Starbuck would survive but appreciate the slow working through of the relationship mess. I also appreciate Dee being tough, competent and resentful.
How on earth did Starbuck walk out of her ship and hug Sam when they had used up all the pain meds?
Starbuck for a Cylon?
Lee's little leg punch on Sam – the manly victory hug of straight guys who want to fuck each other's wives?
