My favourite moment, hands-down, was Adama swearing Sharon back into the fleet as "Sharon Agathon". Hooray for Adama finally letting her out of the jail cell (she's been in there what, two years?, by now) AND letting her actually marry Helo!
I'm continually impressed by the way Sharon has become Adama's conscience--how he uses her as a sounding board when he's upset about something, and how he listens to what she tells him and changes his attitude or plans or behaviour.
I also really enjoyed the scene when Roslin is in detention and Baltar challenges her to say that she approves of the suicide-bombing, and she can't... and then she goes back and tells off Tigh.
Speaking of Baltar, while I have at times disliked him quite a bit, I kind of like him in spite of myself. He's an amazing character. This episode really showed a lot of depth in him... he might be moving up in the list, from the "least liked" end towards the "most liked" end.
The guy on the "least liked" end of the list is definitely the Cavil cylon. I find his attitude towards religion the most profoundly disturbing in the whole show, and I think his abuse of Ellen is horrid. Ellen may have gotten into that situation voluntarily, but Cavil's use of her is still ABuse. Poor Ellen! It's clear that she's absolutely desperate, and that she's not getting any pleasure out of her relations with Cavil. While Ellen getting pregnant by Cavil is a logical direction for the show to go, it's a direction that I certainly hope it DOESN'T go. There's too many babies already. :P
And regarding babies... Shouldn't Kasey and Hera/Isis be about the same age? Considering its premature birth, Sharon's child ought to be, developmentally, about the same as a one-year-old at the time of the S2 finale. The baby shown looked more like a six- or nine- month-old. If the Kasey child was "conceived" following "The Farm", she should have been born a month or so after Hera's due date, and should, at the time of the S3 premiere, be about 16 months old (if I've calculated correctly). The Kasey we saw looked more like a two-year-old to me.
Finally, it was nice to see Zarek again, and I'm anxious to see how he and Roslin survive.
