This episode did a great job of immediately throwing them into an impossibly stressful situation. They looked brutally haggard waiting for the next 33 minute jump interval.

Split personality Boomer was pretty interesting (also she's hot... probably going to keep saying that...).

Nicely established Apollo as a stronger character as he bridges the gap between military and civil government.

Shortly before watching this I spent $210 at BevMo. I'm looking back at the episode to remember what I watched... Very tense emotions between Starbuck and Adama. Well acted.

Starbuck is awesome. The moment when she flipped her wings and showed it was her was amazing.

Everybody knows Cylons look like humans! The tribunal thing was played well. Especially the tense moment when Adama shut it down. "Make your choice, son." The exchange between the Chief and Adama was also very cool.

It's a hilarious moment when Gaius and the viewer realize that Number Six is a real person standing there and not the Cylon in his head.

Seemed like there were a lot of parts where I was asking "Why are they doing that?" in context of character motivation and consistency rather than interest.

XO McCain got his wife back, but I called it... frame her as a Cylon, then reveal that no, she's just that terrible of a human.

Tylium ore == dylithium crystals?

Ah, yes, Zarek would have to return. Oh man... Caprica Boomer killed another Boomer and now Helo knows... I'm pretty much of the mind that the more Boomers that are in this show, the more I will like it. Also Gaius as VP, wtf?

The first few minutes of this episode were kind of crazy and amzing... bad times for both Boomers... Helo and, "Just cleaning my gun."

Oh god, Cylon babies. That may or may not be interesting, but the lead up has been fun. The arrest of the president was a very cool tense scene. Ahhh, army of Boomers! They're just reading my mind and putting it up on the screen. The more Boomers the better. And now everyone knows... those last few moments of the episode were amazing. Very fun season finale.

lol firewalls. Oops they jumped to the wrong place and lost the whole rest of the human race...

Cylon Centurion fight!

gg Crashdown, hello martial law.

The tension of the divided fleet and having another Boomer on Galactica made for a good episode.

The journalist angle of this episode was done really well. They did a good job of making the scenes look like she was catching candid moments and interviews amidst the seriousness of everything.

The chief building his own fighter was a cool idea.

Adama outranked? Say it ain't so!

I insisted to friends that we not play the BSG board game until their would be no spoilers. Because the game had a Resurrection Ship in it, we watched this two part episode and then tried the game.

Cylon blood, phoenix tears, etc...

Decent episode, though Fisk...

I like the idea of attibuting personality and will to live to the Cylon Raiders. And a pilot rivalry is always kinda fun.

Aww, I was enjoying Billy...

Whoa, Gaius, VP isn't good enough. And Pegasus leadership is constantly boned. Primary main character is the only way to keep that role from getting killed a fourth time.

Amazing! We love you Sharon! hehe. Very interesting perspective shift. And Gaius in Six's mind, what?! Cool episode.

Oh noes, Cally. Having Al from Quantum Leap was cool.

Quantum Leap guy being a Cylon messenger was great. The year of Baltar later was an unexpected jump forward. Should be interesting.

A normal episode was very welcome after watching the useless webisodes.

This and the previous 11 episodes were watched as part of an epic BSG/Chick-Fil-A marathon.

Baltar has a manifesto...

Fall asleep for one little bit and a major character dies...

Nice new intro... Gaius becomes more Jesusy... Kara is back and already pointing a gun a the president.

The Cylon voting thing was interesting... one voted against her model. Centurions don't get a vote... Making them self aware seems like a terrible idea.

Cylon civil war and bye-bye Kally.

Six as Tigh's wife is crazy... And Tyrol finally snapped.

Finally not going along with crazy Kara?

Omg Earth, those damn dirty apes!

"I've thought about you every day since that moment I died in your arms." Not many characters get to say something like that. Also she is psychotic. Starbuck playing the Cylon song was cool.

Anders the hybrid... I love listening to the hybrid crazy. I want him to freak out and jump the ship. So... Starbuck is not a Cylon but did resurrect. Not explaining things that have been building for a long time is cool. Except not.
Also Tigh has amazing surprised facial expressions.

Most of the scenes from before the fall of Caprica did not add anything worthwhile. The ones with Gaius and Six humanized and made their relationship seem like it had some reality to it, but still Gaius has been all over the place as a character. Adama giving the "Make Your Choice!" speech is still a pretty cool thing. Powerful voice and cool character.

Still mostly uninterested in the scenes from before the fall of Caprica. But Galactica's ship battle was very cool, and I liked seeing Gaius fighting. Seeing the opera scene finally play out was cool because it had been built up for seasons at this point... especially as they looked up and saw the five. Kally/Chief/Tory ruined the peace, but oh well. Cavil's reaction was amusing but made no sense. The music has been amazing throughout the series and this episode even more so. Ultimately there were a lot of things not answered and that was frustrating, but the series was still cool.
