Adama decides to launch an attack on a Cylon base.


Another superb ep (getting to be a cliche :rolleyes: )

Wonder where they're heading with all the heavy religious overtones.

Outstanding (yet again :rolleyes: ) This more than makes up for the last average ep! Does Baltar really believe he’s the Tool of God? He’s been the tool of number 6 for some time now, maybe he just likes being used :shifty: The religious story certainly seems to be the most central now, “It’s all happened before and it will all happen again”, Pythia and the serpents all seem to be the most popular buzz words. Is it that man created Cylon and now that Cylon can create what they believe to be man, mans scripture applies to them in some sort of divine way? :blink: They haven’t been very clear so far, and I’m sure they’ll be a reason for it.

I think it’s only a matter of time before Hela finds out now, after seeing Number 6 and Boomers reaction to her/it :)

God, I love that drumming that accompanies the battle scenes. It's probably copped directly from Asian martial arts films but I think it works even better accompanying those slicing space fighters.

It's not quite up to the miniseries and "33", but this episode zoomed to that level. A tightly-woven story. Well acted by all -- give Bamber extra points for adding nuances to his work. And, if you had to have to focus on two stressed officers on the bridge unable to participate, who better to portray them than Katee and Eddie?

Special effects worked overtime on this episode, and by-and-large were very successful. While I was dismayed at the STAR WARS imitation, the ending, with Apollo hovering, then zooming over the buildings just to settle to the deck again was one of the favorite scifi scenes in all the movies and tv that I have seen so far.

I repeat -- I'm not happy with the trajectory that Laura's story is taking. Altho, I suppose the original BSG had the "fulfilling a prophecy" theme running thru it too.
