Another Saul loves Bill the mostest episode. Also, his WTF faces every time people tried to see him as a cylon founder were great. I think with Laura kind of out of the picture lately Tigh might actually be my favorite character, but apparently I can only love a cylon when it's one who isn't really a cylon.

I still have no idea what's up with Kara in the whole coming back from the dead stuff, but I liked her a lot this week anyway. Slapping Baltar is always good in my book plus that scene with Lee was love. I even love that she was ready to shoot Sam because I think she does view his situation as horrible and, until he started going all hybrid, hopeless.

It's a little late for the show to start listening to Bill's frak destiny and the gods/god philosophy but I still wish it could. Maybe it's the agnostic in me but I don't see how one can hold onto any trust in the fates after you know 99% of the human race gets wiped out. It's one of the few area where Bill, Lee, and me (grammatically should be I but it rhymes like this) are all on the same page, make your own destiny folks; and don't blame destiny for your stupid choices (be you the cylons, Baltar, or Roslin).

I really think Boomer's going to die in the end. I'm not happy about the fact but I think it's the only way her character can find any peace at this point (she's even burned her bridges with Tyrol and he was her last real tie to...much of anything). I think she'll be important in saving Hera but I'm not even sure anyone will know that (it's just kind of fitting with her character and the show that she would end that tragically).

I kind of appriciate that the "Battlestar Galactica" story apparently isn't going to really end with the end of the journey of the fleet but because it's the end of the actual ship called the Battlestar Galactica. Although I think I'd like it more if I thought they'd continue the Basestar and Fleet story (or maybe they'll just blow everybody up so there's no more story to tell). Because there's no way they can tie up half the stories going on in two more episodes.

Of course it *could* still end with them finding a new home, obviously after the destruction of Galactica since it's totally the dying leader at this point, but that doesn't mean everything is going to be resolved. Hopefully it will be a new home where they can cure Laura.
