Fantastic way to start off the last 10 episodes. It was great all around.

Regarding Dee: (SPOILER)I think it completely shocked me at first because I didn't do a BSG refresher before watching this episode. So it took a little while for my memory to jog up all the that's happened in the show so far. If you think about ALL the stuff these people have gone through, it makes total sense that she would blow her brains out. And while others might listen to Adama and Apollo and find a tiny ray of hope to grasp onto, Dee has been too close to the center of things to be fooled. So knows that Earth was their very last bit of hope. And now that that hope is gone... well, yeah. She wanted to be gone too.

Regarding Kara: (SPOILER)How freakin' awesome was it that Kara managed to freak out Leoben? That whole sequence was amazing. How he tentatively helped her with the raptor, and when he came over her shoulder and saw the tag and immediately started backing away from her. Great great acting right there. He just looked scared out of is pants. Very very interested to see where they go with Kara's storyline. Sooo many possibilities! I'm gonna say that I think they're going to take it along the spiritual/reincarnation route. Either that, or everybody on the show is a Cylon and they are all descendants of the 13th tribe.

Final Cylon: (SPOILER)Eh. Like someone mentioned before, no matter who it was, people were bound to have mixed feelings about it. I don't actually mind having it be Ellen because I feel like there was at least some foreshadowing for her, unlike someone like Tori. There was suspicion about Ellen right off the bat. How the hell did she manage to survive and end up on BSG where her husband happened to be? Plus D'Anna mentioned that because the 5th wasn't with the fleet, the 5th might actually be dead. So there was a bit of set up to the idea that Ellen is the 5th.

Earth Flashbacks: (SPOILER)Anyone else LOVE those little flashbacks we had of Tigh and Tyrol while they were actually living on that planet? I thought they were fascinating. Really brief but probably the most intriguing part of the whole episode. So when Ellen said "everything is in place" did she mean everything was in place for the entire population, or just for her, Tigh, Tyrol, Tori, Anders? Cause that's just bizarre, why would it just be the five of them? From the looks of the flashback, it didn't seem like Tyrol was a particularly important person who would happen to have a "rebirthing" plan in place. And were they all reborn immediately following the nuclear devastation and they've been "alive" for 2000 years? And at some point they decided to create the other cylons and reprogram their own memories? Ahhh, so many questions!
