Ack! My prediction about Boomer from last week's thread was spot on. But then, I don't know how else they could have handled it, since she is a PC 
It was done well, though.
I have no other predictions about how things are going to progress beyond this point (other than Helo and Chief coming into conflict over C-Boomer. But I made that prediction last week, too.
) Hopefully BSG will get back to surprising me.
Best Funny line:
"I thought we were already in the tomb of Athena."
"I think that was just the lobby."
Best Creepy line:
"You ask why?"

An episode that I sorely wanted to happen. All the strife, murder and problems had to lead to something and this was it. All the key characters finally seemed to "get it." As others have said and I've thought all along, Adema and Roslin are the heart and soul of the show, respectively. Him throwing his considerable weight behind her is both uplifting and tragic at the same time (she *is* dying).
The Sharon "choice" moment was telegraphed but done well as set up in the first season. To have it done any other way was to waste many episodes of build up and conflict. The thing that entertains me the most is that many of the events are telegraphed but the payoffs and sometimes twists are what make the show special. Joss Whedon's shows have always been about a built (read: non-blood related) family. Moore did the same thing on DS9 and he's doing it here again. They fight, they make up and it works for me.
While I see this ep and the last and transitory to the overall plot, it's fun to see what is being put together. The mythology is being fleshed out and the cylons are being made to be more mysterious and perhaps a bit more twisted than they already are - a perfect mirror to humanity, really.
Two weeks until we get some more... *sigh*

The thing with Baltar killed me. The way he looked at the doctor and said, "I'm not crazy!" I wish they had had more of those scenes. And I like how it remains unresolved!

Yeah... most holiday weekends SciFi channel has a movie marathon or something. On Friday, they're showing fan-picked favorite episodes of Stargate, like, six in a row.

Tis so. The preview for the next ep shows something about a reporter on Galatica.wilrich said:

First thing I thought of. Looks to be a little more intense, but most of BSG is.
Definitely enjoyed the episode. I didn't expect Adama to go off like that, but it was VERY cool!
I enjoyed the Helo-chief-CBoomer triangle beginning. As was said, it was to be expected and can't wait for more.
The other thing I enjoyed was the more laid back Starbuck. she wasn't the focus and there was no real intense scene with her and it was nice to see that. It was nice to see Katie Sackhoff do some more subdued acting. I really liked her expression when facing Adama again.
