Awesome picspam! (Hera omg.)

Probably Ellen being the fifth is the most significant reveal, but I personally like the whole "Earth was populated entirely by Cylons, but different Cylons, including the final fivers who are 2,000 years old, THIS WILL MAKE SENSE EVENTUALLY" thing. Seriously, the 13th tribe not being human retconned the entire mythology of the show in an awesomely harsh way.

I always enjoyed Ellen and Tigh, from when they were cracky and dysfunctional to when they were tragic, so I was pretty delighted by them becoming this 2,000 year epic romance. *g*

I was NOT happy with Dee's suicide. I still think it was unnecessary and one of the most unsatisfying endings for any character. (And D'Anna got another horribly unsatisfying ending! In the same episode! Arrrgh.) The way it was done was effective and sad, but I just hate that she never really got a storyline of her own and then was reduced to some ~symbol~ of everyone else's pain. [/rant]

I think Tyrol had the most interesting glasses. :p But I'm gonna go with Sam, the guy who was a rock star and a scientist and (in certain ridiculous tie-in comic books) possibly a hobo.

I keep trying to tell myself that the shock factor made the message of despair so much more painful, but yeah.... Dee. ugh.
