the Final Cylon, a.k.a.
The One Who Apparently Knows Everything.
(My favorite moment?

Lee fakes out a cadre of marines, and Starbuck, with an unarmed grenade.
Starbuck: Not funny.
Lee: Yeah, it woulda been if you thought of it.)
Thisis Battlestar, after all.
But that still didnt stop our peg-legged mutineer from trying to beat them anyway.
So Zarek decides to do it himself.
First up, wipe out the Quorum.
Didnt it seem like this wouldve happened at leastoncebefore?
The F/X shot sure was all kinds of awesome, though.)
I wanted something grander, more sweeping, morefinal.
The only other person better at self-preservation than Lampkin?
The fact that Baltar would even think about the admirals well-being is remarkable on its own.
Maybe theres hope for humanity after all.
But the firing squads commanding officer just cant.
Sorry sir, he says to Adama.
Ive always respected you.
But I hate the Cylons.
And I cant take orders from a leader who wont fight them.
In just nine short hours, Gaeta and Zarek demonstrated that humanity and the Cylons cannot truly co-exist.
They may end their hostilities, but it will be at best an armistice not real peace.
Whatever understanding they come to, however, it looks like its gotta be soon.
Enough of my blather.
What did you think of Blood on the Scales?
Is Anders a goner?
And if so, will Starbuck be able to recover from yet another massive psychological blow?
(That kiss she gave Lee in The Oath would indicate the answer is: Maybe.)
Will Baltars newfound sense of maturity actually stick?
Whats to become of, say, Racetrack?
Will Roslin form a new Quorum?
Is Lee Adama pretty much a lock for the vice-presidency?
And with the resurrection of Ellen Tigh upon us,where the frak is Cavil?!
(UPDATE: As many of you have pointed out, Colonial One has landed in Galacticas hangar before.
