Whoops, Earth not as advertised. We knew that. But Earth = Cylon colony? Didn't see that coming. Does that mean I am a Cylon? WAY COOL.
Oh Starbuck. CHRIST that was an amazing scene where she came upon her own corpse. And the best part was how Leoben -- bloody Leoben who won't leave her alone -- backed away from her. Well played. And the color correction on the Earth scenes, where it is bled dry of color is so amazing. The sharpness of the grays is beautiful. The scenery is stunning. And Kara and Leoben facing off when they see what's under that helmet. OH GOD.
Starbuck setting her own pyre. Poetry.
Dee! Oh no Dee. God damn, that just blew me away, no pun intended. Talk about jerking you out of your comfy cozy place and putting you right in perspective.
But Lee: why such a tool? Your idealism and innocence have worn on me for a long time. You are totally hot, of course, but when your drunk father offers you a drink over your ex-wife's corpse after she just blew her brains out after kissing you goodnight... you fucking take the drink.
How much do I love Saul Tigh? So much. His face is an amazing place; props to Michael Hogan for being such an incredible actor. And the scene between Tigh and Adama was the slashiest thing I've ever seen on BSG. Which isn't saying a whole hell of a lot, but yet... they are soulmates.
Ellen. I called it forever ago! I had hoped and wished and WANTED it to be her and YES! Final Cylon, my girl Ellen. Thank you BSG PTB.
In short, I am so not disappointed, show.
