Season 4, Episodes 7 & 8

Episode 8: Guess What's Coming to Dinner

• Nice how the camera focused on Six as Athena was counting down to the basestar and Demetrius' FTL jump.
• How did Tigh know the basestar was friendly?
• Does Laura think she's one of the Five because of her shared vision with Six and Athena?
• The resurrection hub ship looked cool!
• I wish Gaius had gone in to talk to Gaeta when he was lurking in sick bay, watching him sing.
• Athena waking up from her shared vision with Six and Laura to Hera saying "bye bye" was so creepy! Not to mention her drawings of Six!
• The ending was so epic! I'm disappointed Athena shot Natalie. Is she really dead now? I can't wait to see what happens between Laura, Gaius and the Hybrid on the rebel basestar! And the music; oh, always the music. It seemed like several themes were being united in the final scene, which seemed to reflect how these character's destinies are converging.

Quotes

Tigh: "We blow the hub, and billions of skinjobs loose their bath privileges." - How does he know they resurrect in to a bath? He's never seen it happen, has he? Maybe Athena told him, or is it latent knowledge from being one of the Five? No one else seemed to pick up on it, so I'm guessing they knew, and I've just forgotten.

Laura (to Tori): "I've been informed that you've been spotted down there enough time to be a charter member of his nymph-squad."

Episode 8: Sine Qua Non

• Zarek as President. I guess I should have seen this coming, eventually.
• Was the Hybrid's quote "the dying leader will know the truth of the Opera House" referring to Natalie rather than the President? In her final vision/projection as she was dying, she seemed to have some sort of revelation? However, Natalie and the Six in the Opera House don't seem to be the same Six at all - the one in the Opera House is probably Caprica Six, no? Is this misdirection?
• Squee for Head Ellen (or Ellen Six?)!
• The CGI of Racetrack spacewalking to the damaged rapter looked pretty fake.
• Wow, I did not see Caprica Six's pregnancy coming. Is it really Tigh's baby? Adama seems to have made his mind up about that, but couldn't it be Gaius' from the time he spent with her and D'Anna on the basestar?
• Tigh's fight with Adama seemed a bit overly macho and was kind of predictable, but Adama's comment on having to repair his model ship again was rather meta, and hilarious.
• Sharon (Athena) being back in the brig felt like old times. (Oh my, I'm already nostalgic for this show!)
• Romo talking to his imaginary cat. Hmm.
• Now Lee as President and Tigh as Commander of the Galactica. Wow.
• What a lovely manhug between Tigh and Adama.
• Husker!
