That was totally amazing.

1) I can't say that I agree with Adama's actions, although I can understand why he chose what to do what he was doing. They're both acting to protect humanity, though coming from 2 different angles. I think this clash between them was a long time coming. I wish Lee hadn't felt pushed to go against his father. Adama's speech to Boomer and her co-pilot really hit hard.

What I really want to know (besides 'Will Lee and Adama be able to repair their relationship?') is who is going to be running the Fleet while Adama is injured? (I can't even begin to accept the idea that he won't recover.) Is it possible that BALTAR might be in charge, if they rescue him and the others from Kobol?

2) Damn, that fight between Kara and Six was hard to watch. I hate to see Kara getting whooped like that. I am, however, glad to see that Six has skills beyond wearing revealing clothing and playing mind games. She's nasty when she's angry (and maybe a little jealous.)

3) Helo is protecting the baby. After that scene on Kobol, I think I have to accept that the baby is real and not just a lie that Sharon made up to keep Helo from killing her.

4) What was in that crib(?)/bed(?) on Kobol. I thought, at first, that we would get a look at some of the other models of humanoid Cylons. Now I wonder if they've been doing hybrid genetic experiments. And if a Cylon has genes that can mingle with a human's and create a viable lifeform, can they still be considered Machines? Can they reproduce on their own? Are they going to be like humans in term of varied appearances, in which case how the frack can anyone identify him?

5) Can I stand to wait until July? I already feel like I'm going through withdrawal.



Damn fine episode.
