Best of all - in what was a very strong episode all around -  was Starbuck.  Ron Moore has made it very clear in some of his past podcasts that Kara Thrace is really not very good at "peace". In those times, she's revealed as a tremendously flawed human being who is not able to cope. But in times of stress and battle? She shines. War is her thing; it's what she does better than anyone else.  Her lack of hesitation on the flight deck was just awesome to behold. I literally cheered out loud during that scene. So often, these stand-off tension moments on TV and in the movies does not end with the gun holder just shooting, damn it. I keep wanting the hero to shoot, and they almost never do. Ahhh. FINALLY!Later, Adama's own lack of hesitation in the firefight was Ron Moore nudging us on to draw the similarity between the two: these are the best officers in the fleet, because under pressure, they do not hesitate and do not flinch from the task - they pull the trigger.Looking further down the road, I don't see how Gaeta survives this. Armed mutiny and the death of dozens at least - hundreds more probably - is going to end with his death.  He got his extra screen time in his special webisode episode that essentially was "Gaeta's" personal episdoe of BSG in a way that no other character on BSG has ever had their own episode. The webisode special was his reward for his "early exit" in episode #14, I suspect.Ron Moore and Company are taking-no-prisoners here.</blockquote>
