Frack!
Spoilers Within....
Blown away by the last night's episode of Galactica. I'm sad and a little pissed that Gaeta is gone as I've always found him such an amazing actor. Make this scene with him singing in season 3 even more complex:
Alessandro Juliani is a wonderful actor and I hope he can really show what he's made of outside of Galactica. You could read the emotion and inner turmoil all over his face throughout the episode. He respected Adama, and it was a great contrast to see this portrayed w/o words. You had the one guy tell Adama, "I'm sorry, sir, I always respected you . . ." but Gaeta did this all (and more) without the use of dialogue. Genius moments. Brought me to the verge of tears a few times.
I liked the President's moment at the end. It might have been over the top, but it was very appropriate for the rising action of the story--building and building and geesh, I was just in knots. The way the cylons looked at her, it was like they were finally realizing what it meant to be human.
A side nitpick. What is up with 6 and Baltar? The "original 6" that now has Tigh's baby inside her? Wasn't that Baltar's gal from Caprica? No screen time with them? No more Six in Baltar's head? Where did that go?
Not sure what Tyrol was looking at after he tore out the FTL gear. My best guess is that it's something that will be played out in the final episode when Galactica will be destroyed (and I think we all know that sucker's going down with Adama in it.) I still think he may be the "dying leader" at this point. And the new "Earth" they find, he will never get to see it.

Yeah, I think that what Tyrol saw was a tear in the superstructure of BSG.... I think it means the structural integrity of the ship is going to hell in a handbasket. I'd guess that they'll saw that she has a very limited number of jumps left that she can make before she's torn apart or something like that. But yeah, good episode. I loved Gaeta's last line... the scene was reminiscent of Breaker Morant, but nobdoy yelled "Shoot straight, ya bastards!" LOL Awesome episode.
I think last night's episode was the best out of the whole series. Amazing. The final scene with Adama storming the CIC... brilliant.
Have to admit... I'll probably cry like a baby if/when Adama dies or has to "go down with the ship". Throughout the whole series, I think he's been my favorite. But if he's going to die, I just want Lee and Kara to be alive at the end. I'll be ticked if either of them die.
Also, I'm going crazy wondering what happens to Sam....
@AimeeAnne - Ya know, I think Sam will die. I just don't see him making it at this point. What does his character really have to live for? Kara has obvious feelings for Lee. Dualla is gone (which might have made Lee think twice.)
I agree, amazing episode.
My guess is that what Tyrol saw was sabotage. Wasn't Galactica already upgraded to the cylon jump drive? I bet that jump would have blown up the Galactica and Tyrol saved them all by disabling the drive. It would be a nice twist that Gaeta and Zerrick may have been right to fight the jump drive upgrades if so....
