Nice tense start there… A little potential foreshadowing with Hera on the strategy table playing with the scale models perhaps? Athena doesn’t look particularly stable now, and the hull breach right off the bat does not bode well… ---

Looks like the Cavilcade may be in the Earth-ish area after all, based on Boomer’s jump in front of Jupiter… frak, now I have to listen to frakkin Hera whine and snivel, shut the frak up, brat! (no, MacTech has _NO_ patience for whiny brats, why do you ask? 😉 ), thank the Gods (that don’t exist) for the Mute function and subtitles… the Quorum are a bunch of frakkin’ vultures Saul, don’t start throwing bottles around right now, you might cause a hull breach… 😉 ---

Interesting… the Cylon Colony is pointy!, they must’ve hired Klingon, Vorlon or Shadow architects And Adama starts channeling his inner Jackson Pollock… ---

I actually felt Bill’s heartache when he decided to let the ol’ girl die, I don’t wanna’ see the Bucket go ☹ Hopefully she will die with honour and end up in Sto-Vo-Kor, if I may mix my sci-fi metaphors… ---

Frack. I think Cavil is going to make Hera model number Nine. Also, looks like Kara isn’t Daniel Seven’s daughter – since Baltar can identify Hera’s hybrid blood by microscope, and he said nothing about it after looking at Kara’s the same way. (necrotic blood – that for real, or technobabble?) > [@MacTech](#): > > Looks like the Cavilcade may be in the Earth-ish area after all, based on Boomer’s jump in front of Jupiter… At that point, she had many jumps to get back to the Colony. And had apparently made quite a few already. Earth system seems to have been midway back to Cavil. edit: also, I think those were old-style Raiders taking off when Boomer was landing at the Colony. ---

She will ram Cavil’s base star and save everyone. I am reminded of Apollo telling _Pegasus_ “Thank you.” ---

Sigh. For a penultimate episode, it didn’t do much more than kill time. I wish it had provided some kind of answers. Disappointing. ---
