Roslin must have Klingon blood, she’s quite a capable warrior herself, QAPLA! as far as the slimy ptaq Gaeta, I was disappointed that Adama didn’t summarily execute him on the spot, Gaeta doesn’t deserve his breathing privileges… ---

YAAY!, it’s Airlock Time!! 😃 farewell Gaeta and Zarek, and good riddance! I don’t think either of them merited a bullet though, waste of resources, exposure to hard vacuum is more effective, and _free_ 😉 ---

So that’s what an FTL drive looks like. Those scratchs on the wall are a hull breach, right? Did Tyrol do that by taking out that part? Preview spoiler alert; Ellen’s back and she knows everything!!!:eek: ---

Canadian promo spoiler:So, Sam’s having an epiphany and remembering the olden times? So being a nouveau-toaster actually means something? And he looks so cute with his head all bandaged up! Additional: took Ellen long enough to wake up in the Cylon tub ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > One wonders if the Cylons can travel to a resurrection ship not in the area, > > but at the speed of light, say 1,5 light years away… I can’t be a normal resurrection ship since; the Hub as been destroyed, and there are spare Ellens on it. I wonder if it’s crewed by other Final Fives or all Ellens. ---

Just how many hours did Tyrol spend in the air vents anyway? Seems he was in there for nearly the entire episode! And YEA! Gaeta’s gone!
