I'm glad this ep made you feel better about things, I certainly felt that way too.
I'm not going to say anything about Sam. I can't be bothered wasting keystrokes on him.
OUCH. *g* Can't say I blame you, though, right about now.
And I still don't understand the dynamic between the three individualised versions of Six, Leoben and Eight that we see talking, and the rest of them. If they're starting to become distinct from one another, how are they able to be so sure that all of their model will agree? How did these specific three come to be leaders?
I don't really get this either but I think it's one of those things we're just supposed to accept and not question. ;P
Also, I'm perplexed by the Centurions still following orders.
I thought it was interesting that Natalie was mentioning them in her plans, just asssuming they would do her bidding. You can't really make that assumption anymore, honey.
On the one hand Yay! that it removes Gaius from his boring followers (and yay Laura for telling him to quit with the religious

Can't say I blame you, though, right about now When he hasn't shot someone I love and hasn't endangered people for a couple of eps, I will mellow up again. :)

I thought it was interesting that Natalie was mentioning them in her plans, just asssuming they would do her bidding. You can't really make that assumption anymore, honey. I know! I want one of the Centurions to come up to the table and be all 'beeep, beep, red flashing light, grumble' about something. Perhaps they need more oil for their hinges or something and want that as part of the negotiations. ;D
I was excited that everyone was back together on the Galactica, only to have them split up AGAIN. I suspect that sort of thing will be happening a lot this season. Grr. That is frustrating. :(
No, I didn't see the preview--I don't get it with my download. But I'm excited if you're excited! Does it have LEE?!
I would hate for you to end up distressed about every episode, especially since it's so close to ending Thank you! I was MISERABLE last week. The show has held me enthralled for so long.
I think it's a) a shortcut for time reasons and b) more of what we've seen before; only a few Cylons from each model become distinct and reach self-awareness, while the others cluster together and follow a leader I'm sure you're right. I'm not sure how satisfying I find that because I find it hard to comprehend how that works, but I will have to live with it.
But how weird was it to see the humans with their vipers on the Basestar hanger deck while the cylon copies walked around with them? It disturbed me a little, frankly. Same! And that makes me think of the implications of them becoming differentiated, including the fact that any of them could break loose at any time ... eek!
Sharon's shooting of Natalie convinced me it's possible the Six might be the dying leader who will lead her people, especially with the way she talked about leading the

Tigh protecting himself

Also, I loved that Tigh was so hardcore and committed to nuking the resurrection hub and trusting the president. It's ironic that two of the most hardcore human supporters in this ep, resisting the alliance, are Cylons: Tigh and Athena.
I don't think Tigh was being "hardcore and committed." He wanted to nuke the resurrection hub to kill the Deanna line and make sure the Deannas couldn't finger him as being a Cylon.

Good call! I agree Tigh has a double motive. I just find it fascinating that this dovetails with the way he's always been a staunch/hardcore anti-Cylon voice from the beginning.
