- Starbuck’s art; it’s just pretty to look at and makes sense that she would paint everywhere to try and sort things out.
- Kara Thrace is more frakked up than ever and major kudos to Katee Sackhoff for being able to pull off that level of acting.
- CGI space scenes make me smile. The close up of Hotdog’s Viper engines? Beautiful.
- All I could think of when Chief was jumping rope and Nicky was crying until Daddy turned the radio back on to Baltar was, They could be the BSG version of The Odd Couple.
- Glad to see the officers on board the Demetrius are continuing to promote the right to bear arms. For Helo especially, I would be willing to buy tickets to the guns show.
- Leoben is a Kara/Sam ’shipper. Mwahahaha.
- Please give Aaron Douglas an Emmy. As if last week wasn’t amazing enough, other than his talks with Saul and Tory, all he did was either be silent or scream at Baltar. And it was great.
- It wasn’t until he showed up in a commercial before the last act that I noticed Lee hadn’t appeared in the episode. That’s pretty much how little I care about his character now.
Disliked
- Shame on you for going an entire episode without showing Roslin or Adama, let alone the two of them in the same room using books as analogies for their relationship.
- Oh, Michael Trucco and your crazy eyes. It’s just a smidge too far. I halfway expected Tyra Banks to come out and start critiquing him like it was America’s Next Top Model on how to control the emotions in the eyes while there’s a camera on you.
- You’re not going to give us a reason why Chief shaved his head? Really? Not even a throw away line about some traditional mourning period thing or a fleetwide epidemic of lice?
- I so wanted Anders to be there when Leoben showed up, if only for Sam’s reaction to Kara’s line about taking Leoben to her quarters. This is probably from being a huge fan of The Office and an even bigger fan of Jim Halpert reaction shots.
- I really hoped that wardrobe made a mistake with Baltar’s promo shots and we wouldn’t ever have to see the Hugh Hefner robe. But I guess we should be grateful that it was sans the very fake looking chest hair peeking through.
- Please, oh please, no more Tory sex scenes. Especially with Baltar. Did that scene even serve a purpose? Other than the director showing off how creative he can be with camera shots to get around the nudity? Unnecessary.
- Anders needs to pick between a clean shave and full-on stubble, because the three-day-old goatee is not working.
Questions I Now Have
- Who really wears the pants in the Agathon family? Because I don’t think it’s Helo at the moment.
- Speaking of the Agathons, it bears asking once again: Where is Hera?
- How does Leoben know what Earth looks like?
- Why did the Chief shake Baltar’s hand? Is he really trying to move past things or is he setting up the cult leader for something?
What did you think?

Bwaahahaa. Totally. Although, I took it to be possibly a sign of his demotion or something he did in rage after the last ep.
Why do you think Leoben is a Kara/Sam shipper? Wasn’t his point that they were meant to be enemies? I guess that’s a version of shipping, but…
At the beginning of the episode, Starbuck says, “It was so clear when I got back. If I just focus, that I know that I can find that sound again.”
Is the “Sound” the song that the final five all heard in their heads at the same time, including Starbuck?
It seems to me Starbuck has been revealed as the final cylon.
Just to answer one of the questions: We can infer that Hera is on Galactica as in the previous episode Tigh told Caprica Six that her request to meet with Hera had been denied.
