The stand out bits for me were;

-Baltar talking to the cylon, just very funny for some reason
-The conversation between D'Anna and Laura
-The ending, just great

Overall very enjoyable, a very good episode.

I thought the Cylon was going to say 'By your command' and Baltar would become king of the Cylons

Twas good alright,
Enjoyed the bickering between baltar and Laura. nearly fell of my chair when D'anna told Laura she was the final one, cruel cruel joke!
Not sure where the plot will go from here
I wonder how will the other 4 react to D'anna's return to the fleet, will they let her expose them?
Am i correct in saying that that esp will be the last one for a while due to the midseason hiatus?

I wish I could box myself until the start of the second half.

Good episode alright,was very funny when D'Anna said Laura was the final Cylon and then burst out laughing.

Also the scene where the hub was nuked and two basestars beside it were destroyed looked amazing.

What an episode!!! It's really haunted me after...the things Baltar said to the centurion will no doubt lead to an uprising (assuming the drones are all telepathically linked). Cavill already alluded to the risk of this.

Speaking of Cavill, is that it for him??? I still think the original Cavill is on Earth waiting for them all.

The music was really good too, very sad, the whole episode had a sense of inevitability to it. The deception, two-timing and killing all leading upto the final war between the faithful Colonial/Cylon rebels, and the Cylon unholies.

Enjoyed it. Loved Roslin's line to Helo about him not being married to the entire production line.

Found it incredibly boring personally.

I didn't think it was a great ep. Baltar talking to the toaster was probably the highlight alright. We didn't get anything special in the effects for the battle. Anyhow looking forward to the next one

Good episode. Magnificent acting by Olmos / McDonnell
.
Loved the bit with Baltar attempting to incite the Centurion to revolt. It was gripped by his every word

Is Baltar possibly the Dying Leader now instead, hmmm?

Oh yeh, I guess Anders wasn't on board the rebel basestar after all

Amz · 08-06-2008 12:19AM

My jaw literally dropped when D'Anna told Roslin she was a Cylon. I was looking forward to visiting the bragging rights thread ... I guess I was wrong though

Boo-urns. Pretty decent episode compared to some of the recent ones.

Really enjoyed that episode. The space scenes were good. Lost has a lot to learn about CGI from Battlestar.

Loved the scene with Roslin being told she was a Cylon. Absolutely classic.

I wonder if this will see a return to the baltar of the original series? In charge of the (or a) Cylon fleet.

bazz26 · 08-06-2008 01:12AM

Thought it was a good episode.

Baltar talking to the Centurion was brilliant, it was like a Jehovah Witnessor or Morman who knocks at your door trying to convert you.

And the look on Roslin's face when D'Anna said she was only joking was priceless. Who said the Cylons didn't have a sense of humor!

Yeah.. I was wondering that. Where is he?

Anyway... that was just totally concentrated awesomesauce from start to finish, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I reckon you're right that Cavill is dust, but I'd say there are probably still a good few Number Ones onboard base ships in the non-rebel cylon fleet. They aren't exactly Cavill, but they probably have much the same attitude as him with regards to the rebel cylons and the colonials. I'm guessing one of them will step up to take Cavill's place.

Overheal · 08-06-2008 07:39AM

It would seem Cavill is proper dead. I can think of ways for him to be alive but whats the point this late.

The episode was OK but really it was just a big soup with no real cohesion. Liked the Centurion of course.

I enjoyed it... still seems like there is more to come, better to come. They're building up to something, I can feeeeel it!

Phew!

Although these mid-term breaks really kill the whole momentum of the frakkin' series.

I really enjoyed this one. I was a little bit disappointed that El Prez didn't let Balthar die, it was a bit of a cop out. Even though he is pretty much my favourite character, I thought that would be quite an appropriate way for him to go.
Also, since "carnage" has been mentioned in many interviews etc and since there aren't that many eps left (11 after this one?) it may be time to get started.

B for Baltar

I enjoyed this episode! I agree with the whole #3 and Roslin thing. I nearly fell out of my chair when she said "and you don't know you're one of them?".

The space scenes were a bit lacking in my opinion.... but I did like the whole cylon pilot uniforms!

Can't wait for the next episode!

Were there no Leoben-pilots? Budget constraints?

seeing as they are robots.. I figure wifi might be easier than telepathy.

good episode though, i always like the big space battles

the Leobens aren't sexy enough to wear skin tight black pvc spacesuits

Absolutely awesome episode, although I was a tad let down by the ending, I was hoping for a big reveal from 3 like from the telling the pres she's a cylon from the previews, which would lead into the mid season break.

bazz26 · 08-06-2008 08:05PM

Speaking of Baltar. I am wondering is Baltar the dying leader who leads his people to the promised land as predicted in the prophecy.

Maybe the prophecy refers to a religous or spiritual leader rather than a president? Baltar has gathered a large following in the fleet lately. Maybe a Moses type prophecy?

Overheal · 08-06-2008 08:32PM

C for Crashdown

ive stopped reading into it at this point. theres like 50 dying leaders to choose from.

but its probably still rosalyn. deanna said it herself Gaius would live.

Slutmonkey57b · 08-06-2008 11:47PM

Awesome episode. Great return to form.

What is incredibly annoying of course is the knowledge that they are about to go on a "break", having delayed the start due to the strike. The *****......

They seem to generally have trouble getting that actor. In a lot of episodes they just show a scruffy guy in the background (like in "Downloaded") in order to represent the character.
