Indeed! Holy frak on a stick!

What an amazing episode, so goddamn tense. I'm just shell shocked.

Yep. I think it's going to take a little while for the shock to leave the system before I can make any coherent comment about it.

Adama with pistol and assault rifle.

****.

Yea.

After two hours that's the only sentient comment I can make about the show. Still too shocked.

F*ck yeah!

One of the best scenes in this episode. One of the best scenes in the entire show!

Starbuck's back!
No hesitation, no doubts, just good ol' Starbuck, pulling the chestnuts out of the fire.

I'm a bit disappointed by Racetrack's character development, however.
She was one of the first that accepted Helo, she was also one of the first that accepted Athena.
This was quite a shock to see her side with those treacherous bastards.

Gaeta in command of the bucket...muhahahaha, that's even worse then Lee in command of the Pegasus.

I still have to digest everything...

Spoiler:

Roslin "in command" (???) of the Cylon Basestar? Frak, yeah!!
"I'm coming for all of you..."

I would like to see, Roslin sending the Cylon Centurions ( 10 -15 should be sufficent ) to Galactica to "clean" the ship of traitors.
And every single Centurion has a piece of paper on the chest with a message written on it:

"With love from Laura!" ;7

She did however look rather shocked at how they treated Apollo when he got off the Raptor. I suspect that although she doesn't want the alliance she's not in line to start beating up people just because they do.

What she probably wants is for the Cylons and their basestar to go off on their own and leave the fleet. And to be honest there is some value to that point of view. The other Cylons didn't join up with Galactica cause they felt remorse over the attack on the Colonies. They joined up because they are heavily outnumbered by Cavil's forces and joining up with Galactica doubles their fire-power.

Lee however is correct in his view that it's only by humans and Cylons working together that they can end this cycle of violence (well that or genocide).

What an awesome episode.

It's amazing that they managed to pull pretty much everyone with a grudge out of the woodwork -- Charlie Connor, the rape gang from Pegasus (including Specialist Gage), even Seelix.

"I can do this all day, who's next? Racetrack?"

Kara's back to being awesome. Good, she was getting on my nerves lately but she's totally redeemed herself in that scene :D
Awesome episode, certainly stirs up emotions. Kept wanting put a bullet in Gaeta's head.. I just wish I could have postponed watching it till next week and then move on to the next one :)

Is this ship untextured or otherwise very bland...?






Awesomeness is back in Galactica I guess. I enjoyed this episode very much indeed. The two previous ones weren't really bad, just slow. :)

Looks like this ship is missing it's textures.
Could be the lighting of the scene but i doubt it.
It looks like it is brand new, or has left the construction dock moments ago.
Ships of this class are ususally very colorful ( Olympic Carrier, Pyxxis, Geminon Liner 1701 a.s.o. ).

Well texturing it will be easy at least. :p

I'm pretty sure this is what appears when you look for "awesome" in a dictionary.

Depends on the dictionary. Some have Adama instead. :)

Indeed, having to wait a week after this sort of cliffhanger is pure torture. I warned you :D

That is the standard passenger liner. The same kind as Olympic Carrier was. There are at least 5 different paintings of it in the show. (like Geminon liner, Sagitarian spaceways, and so on) This one is clearly missing textures. Perhaps they forgot to associate one to it from the catalog.
