Wow...that episode was beyond amazing. Rewatching now.
So spoilers coming folks:

Okay. Unfortunately, we know Galactica isn't going to nuke the service. A) Clips from next season clearly show people down there surviving. B) They'd lose half the cast. However, amazing tension, I don't think Adama is bluffing, I bet the raiders turn off or Roslin gets in the way.
I'm loving the whole Starbuck, Anders, Lee, Dee dynamic. Yet, I'm sorrry Starpollo shipperss, I think Anders and Kara have so much more chemistry.
I'm betting the eye of Jupiter is going to be the super nova and the whole temple is just to point at it.
Also, Tyrol's whole religous experience...wasn't his mom an oracle? Maybe he inherited some of her abilities....
I loved the whole negotiation scene. Some fantastic dialogue and character interaction. "You just lost your visiting privileges."
OH well, Temple of Five, Five remaining cylons. Coincidence? No way.

Can we please have a conversation about the new BSG without someone talking about the old one? 
As far as I'm concerned the two shows have little more in common than names. Its like someone starting a thread about Star Trek and another person coming along and saying "Star Wars was better!!!"
Seriously...anyone see tonight's ep?

I thought for sure either Dee or Anders was going to buy the farm in order to ease the way for Apollo and Starbuck. I don't want them getting together because I think the series would suffer with them as a couple.
I agree with you on the negotiation scene, top notch acting all around. Especially enjoyed Baltar's reaction when the cylons offered to throw him in "in order to sweeten the pot". That was so cold-blooded considering he was standing right there. My other stand out moment was the expression on Tigh's face as Adama gave the clearance to fire. You could just see the wheel's spinning inside his head. It's cool that after how long they have known each other Bill can still throw him a curveball.
In the too good to be true category-BSG returns on January 21st, one day before Heroes is back. Outstanding!

Please do, and if possible make it several mountain ranges away.

I was again a bit disappointed with last night's episode (though nowhere near so much as last week's). I'm hoping this is just a little slump like the one we experienced last season.

Could you please start your own thread? This thread is for the discussion of this weeks BSG episode.
Okay...
I enjoyed it, surprise, surprise. It was really nice getting back to the usual formula after all these character driven episodes. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed "The Passage" and "Unfinished Business" was fun ("Hero" I could take or leave -- now that I've had time to think about it, I've grown to dislike it), but BGS really shines when its doing these kinds of episodes.
I really loved the confrontation between Caprica-Six, Gaius, and D’Anna. Poor Caprica. I have a feeling that she’s being set up to do something big in the next episode. The interrogation scene was great, too. Brother Cavil was fantastic. He’s always so fun to watch.
I think my favorite scene, though, was the scene where Roslin admitted the truth about baby Hera to Adama. It was such a short scene, and simple, but damn. You can really feel how big a betrayal this was to him, especially in the next scene with he tells Helo and Athena. She made him a liar, and he’s pissed.
I also really loved everything that Anders did. I’ve always liked Anders, and it’s gratifying to see him finally have a character. Poor guy, though, with Starbuck’s cheating. And yet she doesn’t want to get a divorce. I find the so interesting about her. Even though her behavior is completely frakked up more often than not, she still has her own code, some lines she won’t cross. I love that. And I love that Anders knows that she cheats, and accepts it in his own way. “I chose to marry Kara. That’s my business.” There was something about that line that makes it seem like he did know what she was about, what she would do. And, when she goes down, the first thing he thinks to do is go after her, despite all the crap she’s given him. His character has really grown since we first met him. At first, I really only liked him for the side of Kara he brought out. Now, he’s become interesting all on his own. I hope we get more of him.

This episode was quite quotable. I loved watching Cavil when he explained why he was throwing Baltar into the pot. Dean Stockwell does great things with this characters. He’s great to watch. The best line, though, goes to the chief. “It’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner until somebody finds a hot fudge planet.”
