I love going into this show completely unspoiled, as such I didn't really think that Saul was gonna let Ellen die. I was even more shocked when he poisoned her.
I'm really glad Kara didn't kill Kacey because apparently she is not an evil cylon but a poor kidnapped child. I am glad that she doesn't have the child anymore because Starbuck is not mother material. Well, I mean she could be but she has more important things to do right now like cut her hair be a kick ass viper pilot.
I think I'm broken because Kara/Anders and Apollo/Dualla does not bother me like it used to. Dee seems to be Apollo's voice of reason or something. If only she could get him to lay off the bon-bons. Of course Kara will probably endlessly mock him for being fat and he will start running and working out again. Or maybe since the fleet is back together he will stop being all emo and actually stop being depressed.
How fraking cool was that intra-atmosphere jump?! Even after 16 months Galactica is still a well oiled machine. That was incredibly risky but oh so awesome. *g*
Raise your hand if you knew Hera wouldn't make it back to the fleet. I was so not suprised by that at all. As soon as I knew Maya wasn't going with any of the main characters that she was going to meet an untimely demise. Then when Gaius found Hera and Inhishead!Six told him it was theirs, that was cool.
Laura is back where she belongs. All is almost right with the world. Poor Gaeta he realizes that it's sort of all his fault because if he hadn't squealed on the fixed election Laura would have stayed and the Cylons would never have given them 4 months of occupation hell. I fear for him next week though, because those crazy resistance fighters don't know he was their informant.
I kind of have mad love for Zarek now. He's so protective of Laura. It's cute. But not in a shippy way. I don't want a ship war here. Although I was a little worried when he told Jammer to protect them. I hope someone knows about him being a traitor. Oh, wait my girl does! I hope Cally remembers Jammer was part of the civie Cylon police force. I don't fear for him next week, I hope someone rats on him.
I just really enjoyed this episode, from beginning to end. No part of it fell flat and it just left me filled with squee. Seriously, it's like the best show on television.
