1x13 Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt. 2

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.

But Six did say that she wanted a baby, right? I wonder if they could have taken a sample of DNA from Gaius and created a test-tube hybrid, in which case the vision of the baby (if that's what they were looking at) could actually be Baltar's and Six's.

The question of Galactica Boomer's actions is a good one. I can perfectly understand why. The whole place is in chaos and they can get rid of one human leader, now that Baltar is positioned to take over civilian lead. I think Tigh would be easier to manage than Adama.

Or it could be that the Cylons think that Boomer outlived her usefulness, so they might as well make good use of her before she gets exposed as a Cylon.

I can see that about Tigh, especially if the cylons approached his wife and promised her a high position. She'd try and get her husband to do anything for some noteriety. Wasn't she whispering something in his ear about meeting new people? I didn't quite catch that.

My other suspicion is that Six is the god she keeps talking about. I'm not sure why, but she strikes me as the spider on the web.

I had briefly flirted with that idea, but she always sounds so *sincere* when she's talking about god. But maybe it's not the Six that Baltar sees, but the very 1st Six. Or the one (person? program?) that created her and the rest.
