Cally finds out about Tyrol's secret.
BDS is in full force. :wall:
Holy Frak!!!
You know, I just don't care if the BSG Human race lives, any more.
I should probably just refrain from watching any more--at least until the final episode. Let you guys have your fun. :)

Admittedly I kinda sorta watched it, but I missed the BDS. Help me out, what was so BDSy about it?
Pretty much any part that Pres. Roslin was in. The whole secret executive orders thing, centralizing power, stacking the Justice dept (or was it the judges?). I had wondered if they let Freesoup do some of the writing.
Zarek is an interesting character. Interesting because they essentially took Timothy McVeigh and gave him legitimate power.
Okay, I missed that. Someone was actually asking me to do my job during that part.

I guess in the end it will interesting to see if she is proven right or proven wrong. I would hope that Moore is not that heavy handed, but I'm probably wrong.
The rest of the episode was pretty decent. Not sure what to think of Kara Thrace tilting at windmills. Of course, I didn't like what happened at the end of the episode, because they literally tear down any people who have any redeeming qualities. It's like the BSG or almost any random FX production writers were weaned on Jerry Springer episodes. The Springerization of America?
Hence why I'm losing interest in their even living. I can't relate to them. One of the brilliant parts of humanity is having the full gambit of emotions in the face of adversity; not just the angry and frakked-up ones.
ETA: I do realize I'm in the minority. Most of the comments and reviews I've read this morning deems it an excellent episode, and are very happy to see Cally gone. But at least, I'm not alone (http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2305943&st=0) .

You're being too literal I think .
And anyways - the President is going to be proved correct so even if it is a form of BDS , it'll have been the proper course and as such a sort of endorsement for certain secret Executive Powers .
:-\

I'd be a bigass yes on the excellent ep but a big fat no on Cally's spacewalk .
That was very sad .
She did look beautiful and at peace though .
:'(

So we say the both of us.

So is Tori (sp?) ev0l ?
She gave Cally such a nice speech and was , I think , correct in her assessment of the predicament the Four are in .
I also think that given their sich she was left with no option but I can't shake the feeling she's going to be a bad un .
( and it did looke as though Cally was going to murder her baby - so Tori did prevent one innocent death , I guess )
I missed most of the Cylon battle ( BiL turned up fifteen minutes in and left with about ten to go - his timing is diabolical ) what happened ?
Fairly decent synopsis of the episode: :PSA:

A badass Cylon ace fighter pilot .

I forgot to mention this , but I was so afraid Ann would hate the show when Tori airlocked Calley. But Ann was glad to see Calley go. She hated Calley and I never knew it.
"Calley shot Boomer"
"Yeah, but Boomer shot Adama first!"
"She didn't know what she was doing at the time and Adama lived."
Oh, well.
Listening to the "BSG watercooler" podcast. Lots of Browncoats participating.
*listening now to my newly-purchased season 3 sndtrk*
This episode now makes me want lunge into the tv and strangle Tory every thyme I see her.
Still, it felt unfinished, like they're jumping around from character to character to complete their stories.
Cheap shot at the end.
Nicki Clyne/Cally deserved better.
