The Cylons appear to have done a much better job building New Caprica City than Baltar. Wow, Lee’s gotten fat. Kara was eating a steak (of what?).

W I thought she’d been killing him over and over. Cool.

She tortured him on Galactica. Ms President had him spaced out the airlock, the thought being that he was too far away from the ressurection ship to come back.

Hmm, is Leoben’s last name “Agrajaj” perchance? 😉

You suppose the bio toasters raise animals for food? Perhaps it’s an animal native to New Caprica.

It is becoming rather disturbing.  
Let’s stab some more Cylons with kitchen implements.

Hmm, Helo and Sharon tie the knot, and Adama chooses to trust Sharon as an officer again, lets just hope that trust is worthwile

Cylon-on-Cylon violence now, hmm, the Meatbags are becoming what they hate more and more, wonder when they’ll realize they have more in common with Humans than they care to admit…

It seems he only sees “her” when the real, original Six is not there(after she was shot).

Perhaps it is the same for her.

Whoa!!! what an ending, _GREAT_ start to S3

offscreen “summary execution”

Meatbag on Meatbag violence

Meatbags may start realize they’re more like humans then they thought

Sharon’s recommisioning and Kara’s softening to Leoben shows the hatred for the meatbags may be waning slightly

so, we have the hardline “Kill All Humans” Meatbags (XenaBot and Lionel Preacherbot 2.0)  
the Humans GOOOOOD!!! meatbags (Six and Sharon)

and the Undecideds (Leoben and Docbot)  
lots of interesting new angles too, will Kara become the “Best Mommy in the fleet”?, will she warm up to Leo (i’m getting tired of typing his whole name, so i’ll call him Leo for short), will Casey become “Best Kid in the Fleet” (maybe half-best, or second best, maybe, after all she’s only _half_ Human 😉 ) can Sharon (Galactica Boomer Rev. 2.0) be trusted, will there be a schism between the “K.A.H.” Toasters and the “H.G.” Toasters, how long will Ellen live once Tigh finds out she’s frakkin’ Lionel PreacherBot (i figure her lifespan will be measured in microseconds if Tigh finds out)

it’s clear at least Rosylin survives the “execution”, as she’s seen in next-week’s promo (unless Ron& crew decide to use _more flashbacks_ again, AIEEE!!!

okay, i’ll stop rambling now and watch the second screening
