We choose to go to the moon...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! So much packed into one episode!!

Okay, seriously? That final scene with Adama and Roslin is in the ranks of my favorite tv moments ever. They are MAGIC together. GOD. Could their connection possibly be any deeper? *loves*

The plot with Emily was interesting but I had a difficult time believing her on Galactica because my brain kept screaming, "Major Kira! Nana Visitor!" It pulled me out of the scene one too many times. She'll just always be Kira to me.

So, KARA. Holy shit. She's been crazy lately, and she looks wrecked, but the look on her face when the hybrid told her she's the harbinger of death solidified all the reasons Katee Sackhoff kicks ass six ways to Sunday. The fear and horror were played perfectly. This episode also felt like we got back a bit of the old Starbuck. She was totally in command when Gaeta was shot and equally in control on the base star. FINALLY.

Base star!! I don't know how to process everything that happened!
* Anders nearly syncing up with the ship (i.e. hand in goo). Just the whole experience of seeing Anders on the base star.
* Natalie!Six killing Capricaanother!Six so ruthlessly and perfectly for the good of the mission.
* All of the Eights. Plus Anders connecting with the Eight when she died...seeing that cylons are more than emotionless machines.
* THREE! I can't wait for D'Anna to come back! I hope she's pissed.
* Was it obvious to everyone that Red Shirt human was going to bite it the minute she volunteered to join the group? The target was pained on her forehead right from the start.

Helo, oh, Helo. I didn't start off as a Helo fan but he's won me over big time over the past few seasons and I loved him tonight. A definition of the Greek word "Agathos" is " upright, honourable" and, yes, he was named Karl Agathon for a reason but I still love seeing him live up to it. He always, always does what he thinks is right no matter how hard it is for him whether it's telling Gaeta they're not leaving before the 15 hours are up or making the decision to leave, at 0 hours, without Athena.

I can't wait for next week (and I can't believe there are only four more episodes before the midseason break).
