WOW!  What an episode.

 

Nice to see the return of Starbuck, she is at her best in a firefight :).  Loved when she saved Lee, her comment about being dead and the fact that she could shoot peeps all day was great.  Loved when she kissed Lee and said they could only trust themselves.  Loved that she never even thought about her Cylon husband.  Love Lee with a gun again and Lee and Kara covering eachother.

 

Zarek and Gaeta, oh man.  I get that Gaeta does not trust the Cylons (with good reason) , I get that he is bitter about his leg and I even get that he thinks he is doing the right thing, but DUDE, so not the right way of going about it and trusting Zarek, boy that morpha must be messing with his ability to reason.  He is so gonna be one of the ones that doesn't make.

 

Baltar was at his self-serving best in this episode, it's nice to see his true colors come out again.

 

Loved that Galen has an underground and that he had the escape hatch.

 

Adam and Tigh as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was great!

 

Roslin stepping up, that was needed TWO FRAKING episodes ago.  Yes she was devistated, but her unwillingness to act either by meeting the problem head on or abdicating the Presidency was a major factor (along with Zarek's thirst for powerand everyone's distrust of the Cylons) in leading up to the mutiny.  But it was nice to see Roslin in action rather than hiding from everyone and everything.

 

Speculation for coming events, based on preview and EJO interview on Scifi.com -

 

I don't think Tigh is actually dead, but I am worried that they will off Adama.  Geata and Zarek have to take Adama out, not just sideline him if they want their mutiny/revolt to continue.

 

EJO said there was gonna be a lot of death, and I think we've only seen the beginning.  I'm scared to see the population count next Friday.

 

Anyway, AWESOME ep and I hope we get even more L/K in the next ep.
