The "one year later" thing totally freaked me out. It took them two seasons to go nine months, and then two seconds to go one year? WTF?

Who knows what's going on in Starbuck's head? I can't believe she grew out her hair. Lee is an emotional cripple; between the two of them, they can fly off the handle at a sneeze.

And if the Cylon montage at the end is to be believed, that ugly shirt guy looking for Starbuck is a Cylon, too. We still have four unidentified Cylons out there (not including Ugly Shirt Guy).

The photos of New Caprica made it look so pretty. The refugee camp is a nice blast of reality.

Question: What happened to the Cylons in the Galactica brig? I guess Roslin airlocked one of the priests, but what about the other one and Sharon? Helo was on the Galactica bridge, right, so is Sharon still there?

I like the One Year Later professions of the crew. Tyrol (with a pregnant Cally! Yay!) as a union leader, Gaeta as Baltar's chief aide. Starbuck not doing a damned thing.

And so on.

I could have sworn I saw something about how the Cylons offer the humans a peace deal that made the humans tithe a certain portion of the population to Cylon breeding experiments. I guess that got dropped - or won't be picked up until next fracking October.

We've already seen the guy who was looking for Starbuck. He's played by Callum Keith Rennie, who is one of those ubiquitous Vancouver actors (Highlander, X-Files, and a metric assload of other stuff). And I thought from the miniseries that he definitely is a Cylon (and he's in the "some look like us" part in the opening credits), so he's/they're just being reintroduced.

That's right. I remember him now. Was he the guy Adama fought in the miniseries or is he the one Baltar falsely (yet accurately) accused of being a Cylon so they left him to rot on that space station (uh, also in the miniseries come to think)?

In that case, we've met nine varieties of Cylon; 6 men, 3 women.

I confess to not remembering the miniseries that well, but I know (from IMDB) that he played Leoben. The guy who was left to rot was more schlubby, IIRC.

That was Leoben looking for Starbuck? How'd he last so long when they know what he looks like? Hm.

I think he landed with the rest of the Cylons. We saw him around the same time that Six, etc., walked into Baltar's office.
