Great commentary. I was equally pleased with this episode. I loved the Star Wars homages. (Haven't heard the Podcast commentary, but I have no doubt that it was intentional.)
Though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, I also briefly wondered about Caprica-Boomer being pregnant. I also wonder if there might not be some change to the atmosphere that might be making her sick. However, the other humanoid Cylons seem to be fine, so that theory is sort of a stretch. It might be interesting if something else were making her sick, though, because being in a more vulnerable position might increase her risk of being exposed as a Cylon.
As for Lee and William Adama, my take on it was that Adama may have been trying to say that, as Lee's father, he knows what Lee is capable of and, therefore, has full confidence in him. However, the scene could have been written a little better.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the rest of the episode. I see Baltar as moving closer and closer to the type of character who we saw in the original series and the fact that he would see himself as some instrument of the gods fits right in with his arrogance.
