Well, that was completely insane!!! And the fact that there's going to be at least a third episode is infuriating!!!!! Not that it's a bad thing. 
I don't have a problem with taking a bit of time to resolve all this. Still, infuriating!!!!!!!!!!

Great episode last night. I'm gonna have to stay in next Friday to see how this resolves itself.

I didn't like the whole "resurrection ship" idea. It's just plain dumb to me. When it's gone all of a sudden the Cylons are going to run home crying? *Stupid!* I still haven't bought on to the whole "human-cylon thing though. I like the toaster-cylons much better!

I'm with you on the Cylon thing HLT. The human/Cylon thing does provide for some very interesting plotlines, but I like the ol' Red-Eye Cylons better.

Yes, she is.High Lord Tolkien wrote:Cain is f'cking crazy! I can't wait for the next one.
Or
She's a Cylon. That's where my money is.
I don't think it would happen that way anyway. No reason the metal Cylons couldn't keep up the chase. And if they need clones to make command decisions, there's bound to be some who would be willing to risk being too far away so they could be in command. Either for their own personal glory, or for the cause.High Lord Tolkien wrote:Spoiler

No way she's a Cylon. If she is, I'll be pissed. Everyone interesting is a freaking Cylon! 
On another forum someone predicted that Six is Cain's assassin not Starbuck!
Interesting if that's true.
MAkes more sense that way too.
How about this for some whacky speculation: Cain is shot in the head, is taken aboard one of the Cylon Baseships, suffers brain damage, undergoes a "rethinking" program taught by a vengeful Six and now has a pathological hatred for humans. She takes command of a Baseship at the end of Season 3 and hunts for the Galactica!
[manic laughter]....hahahahahaha.......!

Nope. She's a Cylon. Look what she's been doing. Dismantling the civilian ships, leaving them behind to be taken by the cylons. Killing the families of those who don't comply. Making her crew think it's for the greater good.

Nah, I seriously doubt she is. That would be a bit too convenient... too easy. It's a lot harder pill to swallow (and they say good medicine never tastes good) if she's just the antithesis of Adama. Now her XO... that would be interesting. Not exactly useful, but hey.

So then.
SPOILERS
I thought the space battle was great. I could practically feel the explosions of the missles. Very different from the incredible space battles of DS9. Although I'm surprised the Battlestars took so little damage. I guess Starbuck should be promoted, and put in charge of all battle planning, eh? I wonder if the Pegasus will stick around in this incarnation.
Cain's fate was good. Certainly deserved. Starbuck was wrong - they're safer without her. She'd have been dismantling the civilian ships and killing the families of those reluctant to help her, just like she'd been doing before. I wouldn't trust her for a second, despite her change of heart regarding Adama's assassination. Maybe with the ringleader gone, the rest of the Pegasus crew will become better people. As I always say, the question of what captured Cylons may or may not "deserve" isn't as important as what their captors reveal about themselves by how they treat the prisoners.
Nice little speech by Adama to Starbuck over the phone. I don't remember how he put it, but something about being worthy of survival. He's cool.

Yeah, very, very interesting with two Battlestars. This completely changes the show's dynamic.

Great great show!
I can't remember the last time I watched a TV show and had a sick nervous feeling in my gut wondering what was going to happen.
Awesome.
"Frack you!"

Thanks, Syl.
Yeah, "Frak you!" was great!
Starbuck did a great job. Looked like she was gonna s**t a brick when she was waiting for Adama to give her the order.
I don't know about Apollo, though. Why was he wishing to die? Or is it just post-battle/near-death trauma?
So now Baltar's mind-babe is real. I don't suppose it will be difficult to hide her. hmmm
