I loved the ep. Thanks to a certain poster (thanks again!), though, Kat's death didn't strike me as a surprise. As I saw it, she stole Helo's rad badge when she saw that her own was black. If anyone had turned out the lights, she would've glowed enough to be dropped from the next mission in a heartbeat. The backstory seemed too rushed and contrived, but if the writers are smart they won't let it die with her. Who knows, though...
Glad to see the Cylon arc make a return. Anyone else loving the music they play during those sequences? The Hybrid just did something I doubt ANYONE saw coming, even the Cylons. She not only made sense, but she referred to Baltar as "intelligence." What does this mean for him as a potential one of the Final Five?
The other Cylons have to know that D'Anna is intentionally dying. They're there to help her when she resurrects, after all. Caprica-Six even said that the others are asking questions. I noticed that she sounded frantic when describing the Five to Baltar. She's frustrated that she can't remember their faces, even though she knows she sees them. I recall reading somewhere that she's becoming addicted to dying. After seeing The Passage, I'd agree.
And all of the complaints about Kara seemed to be based on the idea that she ought to be good. If you look at her as a (pardon the expression) hardcore ***** with some serious vulnerabilities, it starts to make sense. I, at least, don't watch her character and get disappointed when she deviates from some ideal image. I recognize how the character's been written and look for how her actions fit into that framework. Some of you appear to be looking at her and getting upset when she doesn't fit your mold. Basically, you ask "What's Thrace doing?" while I say "Yep, that's Starbuck alright."
I liked the episode, and I, too, am highly interested in seeing updated population figures. I'm surprised Roslin didn't make any mention of the losses of at least 2 ships. Actually, I'm kind of disappointed that she didn't make any appearances beyond the initial panic about the food. Oh well...Last edited by Ojos; 10 December 2006, 05:42 PM.War... war never changes

Still, at least the writers and characters are using their heads!War... war never changes

Originally posted by maneth View PostThey didn't kill off Kat after all. Boy is Starbuck going to get a surprise when she finds out who the new CAG is! That's how I read it anyway, I don't think they'd make an honorary CAG out of Kat for even a day, if she was really dead. I guess we'll find out in the next ep.
Originally posted by donniepw View PostOne thing I like most about this show is nothing goes unaddressed for long. They've dealt with water shortages, fuel shortages, mining material to build more ships, abortions, black markets in the fleet and now a food shortage. It was questioned once how do they address all the damage Galactica took in Exodus Pt II. Give the writers on this show time and even the issue of ship repairs will be addressed.Freedom is Slavery. Spending is Stimulus. Hope is Change
