So the Cylons have decided that they want to make Earth their new home. Caprica wasn’t good enough? I’m still not clear what their endgame is. Do they want to annihilate the human race? Do they want to make a new race of human/Cylon hybrids? I’m sure that their goals have religious origins, which could mean just about anything. Luckily they have Baltar to lead the way to Earth…that’s just great. Way to sell out your own race (again), Doctor. At least the search for Earth is on. I was wondering when they’d get to that.

Baltar goes to inspect the infected ship and ends up strangling a Cylon just to shut her up. Then he lies to the seven Cylons about the presence of the human artifact, but Number Six is onto him. I’m not sure how this is going to play out, but like Gaeta said, Baltar’s instincts for survival are unparalleled, so he’s not in any real danger.

What’s the deal with the other five models of Cylons? They can’t even talk about them? Consider my interest appropriately piqued.

Back on Galactica, Starbuck’s line to Lee on the deck was great: “The bird is on the deck! I’m on the deck! I don’t know what you’re bitchin’ about!” I didn’t really understand why she and Tigh took a bunch of shots at those that weren’t involved in the ground war. That storyline seemed a little contrived, but Adama’s speech and actions in the lounge made up for it. First, he kicks over Starbuck’s chair, causing her to run out the room with her tail between her legs. Then he confronts Tigh, who looks like he’s about to spiral downward into oblivion. I still think all he needs is a patch over that eye.

One surprising thing is how much trust Adama puts in Sharon (Athena). I like her character, so I hope this doesn’t backfire on him. Clear something up for me…this is the Sharon that had the baby – is it the same one that shot Adama? I’m pretty sure that one – Boomer, the one who loved Chief – is back with the Cylons.

And then there’s Starbuck, knife in hand, ready to cut that hair of hers. Inside, I was screaming, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” (She looks much better with long hair.)
