Because I’m curious, just how easy is it to one-shot a guy with a wrench?

Faaarrrkkkk… 10 minutes left in this episode and I’m going insane with the tension. Easily one of the best episodes yet. Wow!

When I was on one leg I had the crutch and later cane on the bad side. Whatever melts your butter. 🙂
Oh, and Adama rocks. Gaeta sucks.

Backtracking a bit, I’m so sorry to see Seelix among the mutineers. She is one of my favorite obscure geeky crushes, and I’m thinking it won’t go well for the mutineers. ☹

A Crescent Wrench that size is easily lethal. You’re talking maybe two pounds of hardened steel with some nasty pointy edges.

In the preview, did anyone else think that Roslin sounded somewhat like the hybrid?

Gods damnit! Another fraking week? That’s just cruel.
I’ve got no fingernails left. None.

Roslin’s finally acting like a President again. Think Adama will follow through on his no amnesty threat and space conspirators en masse when this is all over?

Expected the cliffhanger.
Expected Tigh might bite it. But now, after seeing the stupid preview blip that spoils the cliffhanger, I’m expecting that expectation will be overturned.

Would Moore actually kill _Adama_ off at this point? :eek: We knew major characters would start dying off, but I kinda expected Roslin & Adama to last until Daybreak.

Unless my watch is slow, I think we got shorted about 5 minutes worth of episode tonight.
Anybody else see Adama and Tigh at the end and think of Butch & Sundance?
Two gun wielding semi-pyscho Starbuck is hot.
Gaeta makes a very good villain.
Baltar got a really bad haircut since we last saw him…or since noticed, anyway.
**Cervaise** –a point of order: Do we talk about what was shown/implied in the preview in spoiler boxes, or openly?

Well, _that_ is why I expected it. I figured it would set up his reunion with Ellen.
_Now_, though, it looks too much like preview-bait. So I suspect he’s hidden himself away somewhere to go all commando while Adama plays the “oh, poor me who has been captured” distraction role.
I mean, sheesh. They actually _told_ us in the preview. When have they _ever_ clearly shown something in a preview that didn’t turn out to be an M.Night-style _shocking_ plot twist?

Holy shit, I haven’t been so high-strung with tension since the Pegasus episodes in season two!
It was fantastic seeing Kara get her hardass back.

My bf Dewey is convinced Tigh jumped on it.
What’s the name of the character that was the Baltar groupie that spied the death of the LSO?
Pvt. Jaffie = Red Shirt (Dewey and I predict red shirts all the way through - good times).
Also, total drinking game: Adama Angry Speech Moment
i can’t believe it’s over. But totally as predicted - last week’s episode laid the groundwork (albeit at the slow pace) for a very endorphin filled episode this week and looks like for weeks remaining.
