Great numbers is a stretch. With DVR factored in, the show went from 74th most watched to 72nd (out of 75).

Keep in mind that television shows take time to make. Eight days is the standard for a one hour show, the pilot for Glee took 18. You figure with the musical numbers having to be filmed, you can safely tack on a day to the production. As far as I know all twelve episodes are already in the can, so that is around 100…

Dogfight between "Trouble" and Angelyne" with a bunch of other songs fighting for a chance like "Take Me With You," "Two Hearts," "Sound of Lies," What Led me to this Town," "A Break in the Clouds" "All the Right Reasons" and "Dead End Angel"

I must have nodded off for the Ghent death part. When I snapped back in, he seemed to have moved on. Was it just a passing line?

harbinger of death - she was instrumental in the destruction of the resurrection hub, she brought death to the cylons.

His and Head Six's dialogue at the end are what really did me in about the flash forward. I could handle the robot montage and the Ronald Moore cameo and even the presence of the two angel/demons in times square, but when they started talking, it was just too artificially canny. I know they were trying to act…

Side question on the Anders thing. Can someone explain to me how he would know where they are? I am still having a hard time believing the hybrids constantly knew where the resurrection hub was (you would have thought Cavil would stop transmitting that info to the rebels, but then again maybe it is the BSG version of…

For some reason "Voyage of the Mimi" popped into my head. Not sure why. The flute dirge could have been dialed down in the sound mix a bit.

As someone who has had incredibly stupid and prolonged fights with my significant other (she feels the once brilliant show has lost its way, I have been loving this season), I don't think one is a traitor to the series by not liking an episode.

The problem with planning a show like this (or any show for that matter) long term is the real world tends to get in the way.

What I meant with Ellen was, she could have died in the apocalypse and be inserted back as a refugee. Not saying that happened, just that there was the potential. That's a devils advocate position to the argument that it was highly improbable that all of the final five survived the attacks.

I got the sense that Ellen was definitely inserted post-apocolypse. Anders probably was as well (though didn't several other members of his pyramid team survive?) .

Also, if they were human to begin with, they wouldn't have needed a breakthrough to reproduce sexually which led to the abandonment of resurrection technology.

An interesting side note, while the Galactica is falling apart, the Base Ship has been repairing itself gradually. Take a look at its progress since joining the fleet.
