Liked:

  • Semi-glad to see Lee back.
  • Very glad to see Laura verbally beat up on Lee.
  • Adama and Tigh getting down to business together when the basestar shows up was great.
  • I love that Galactica doesn’t look all pretty and shiny.  It’s a nice touch that I think would’ve worked in favor of other shows like Star Trek: Voyager.
  • Nice opening hit in the preview clips of Athena shooting something.
  • Awesome CGI of Marines disembarking onto the basestar.
  • Really like the chairs in the wardrooms.
  • Anytime I hear someone call Gaeta “Felix” it makes me think of the end of the third season when Baltar starts yelling, “Oh, Felix.  Oh, Felix!” while Gaeta was on the stand and it makes me laugh.
  • Aww, Lee’s still wearing his wedding even though he isn’t really married anymore.  You’d think he’d realize by now just how much like his father he is.
  • Laura busting Tory for sleeping with Baltar was amazing.  I was honestly afraid that it was going to be another Cylon hallucination, but thankfully it wasn’t.
  • They are so much like a family with Bill and Laura as parents that it’s great and heartbreaking at the same time.
  • It’s been a while since we’ve seen Baltar’s nasty side, and I’ve kind of missed it.
  • Yay for them to acknowledge Hera, and wow was her first line creepy.
  • Why can’t Starbuck adn Roslin have more lines together?  They are fabulous in scenes with each other.
  • The sight of Cylons wearing capri pants makes me giggle.
  • Laura has Bill’s favorite book with her on the trip to the baseship.
  • Mommy!Athena is awesome.  Why haven’t we seen more of this?
  • I love how everything is coming full circle, especially Chief being the person Athena asks for help and Roslin and Starbuck teaming up again.
  • Fantastic ending.  Of course the hybrid is going to jump the ship out of self-preservation.  Silly humans.
  • Gaeta singing.  Bravo, Alessandro Juliani.

Dislikes:

  • Space is not “thin air”; it’s the lack of air.
  • Why are images of ships in the fleet looking very… plastic modely this episode?
  • They leave Hera all by herself in the quarters?  I find that difficult to swallow.
  • Guards don’t seriously pull a gun on the Six for touching Hera?

My Questions:

  • Why do we still have no comments on Cheif’s shaved head?
  • Why isn’t Anders being punished for shooting Gaeta?
  • Is Lee gutsy or stupid to keep offering Roslin advice?
  • Where did Baltar get all his interior decorations in a fleet with very limited resources?
