I found it a little sinister that none of the four newly minted cylons even considered telling their superiors. You'd think at least one would be all like: "hey guys, cylon here, might want to remove me from duty until we get it figured out". I mean it's not like there wasn't a precedent with Sharon so it's not like they'd expect to get shot on the spot for telling the truth.

And I found Tigh's response out of character and too low key personally. I really expected an exorcist moment with head spinning etc. Still, all things considered it was an awesome episode and boooo for making us wait a year for new ones

Well when you're a fall down one eyed drunk cylon who murders your own wife after sending suicide bombers to kill themselves and you've known the admiral of fleet protecting the rest of the human race for 30 years and never managed to impregnate your nymphomaniac domineering wife you tend to learn to take things in stride. Unless it's that undisciplined Starbuck of course. In that case, you demand her badge and gun and suspend her from investigating the murder of her partner.

I don't think it was out of character at all, rather it was the character we saw emerge on New Caprica during the Resistance. Tigh was always kind of a drunken asShole with a stick up his butt when it came to Starbuck and his character really shone during the Resistance. It was a nice change in him and seeing him hold his head high was nice.

This will be the episode they point to when they talk about the show jumping the shark. When you have a main character arise from the dead you no longer have a space opera you have a soap opera.

Emopollo was in rare form though. He really chewed up the scenery with his whiny "I'm a coward, we are all just a buncha thugs" speach. Next season he will have to resort to cutting himself for that sort of attention. Trust me.

He'll probably do some binge eating and become a total lard-***.

I enjoyed the trial and really hope they bring back Romo Lampkin next season. He was awesome. I also liked Apollo's speech while on the stand.

I'm on the fence about the haunting music and how each of the four quoted parts of "All Along the Watchtower" - on one hand, I see how it is relevant as some sort of code to "wake" them up to their true selves (cylons) as they near Earth. On the other hand, I felt it was corny. It also makes me wonder at what point and time in Earth's history will they be arriving? Modern day (our times) or a future Earth that somehow coincides with their own system's (Caprica, etc.) time?

Another question I have is while the four think they are cylons, are they truly cylons or just guessing? Could they instead be only human with some sort of hypnotic suggestion placed upon them by cylons at some point in their recent history (New Caprica, etc.)?

I was glad to see and expected to see Starbuck return in one form or another. I look forward to next season and hope they have a good explanation of these events for us.

Hahahaha, hahahahahaha, ahhh. Good explanation. Funny!

Bear in mind this is the show where in the 5th episode of the series, one of the characters crashes her spaceship into an inhospitable planet, then stumbles across the one other ship on that entire planet. She then manages to get inside that ship, which happens to be integrated with a living organism that for some reason died when it landed even though the ship still functions perfectly. At any rate she finds a giant button on the outside of the living organism/ship that opens the ship, climbs inside, cuts random parts of the living organism until she cuts one that shoots out breathable human air, deduces how to fly by pulling on random tendons, launches the ship into space, and although she has no navigational aides flies right back to her base ship. Oh also, the organism/ship thing she's flying through space has a hole in it. Did I mention she wrote her name on the bottom of the crashed ship with 20 meters of tape?

So, yeah, good explanation? Just hope they can resist the urge to have all of last season be a drug addled Stands With a Fist dream.

One of the better episodes of TV I've seen in a very long time.

The last 10 or so minutes made my skin crawl with the music and the mood of the characters.

Interesting concept that the chief's baby is a half-breed as well.

Same reason people stare at highway accidents.

Are you a crack addict, or just functionally retarded?

Bob Dylan is the 5th cylon. No wait, Bob Dylan is the one true God the cylons worship and Jimi Hendricks is the 5th....no wait, that would be hard to cast...

Considering how much he fUcked up the series this last season I'd say more than just his irony is impaired.
