Default So the fifth Cylon is... (spoilers)

...Ellen Tigh? Somehow I'm both surprised and not surprised at all. But, awesome episode overall. Lots of really cool shit. Starbuck finding her own body! Damn!

Great episode, lots of questions! Why did only those five cylons end up in the Colonies if everyone on Earth was a skinjob? What the hell is Starbuck, and how were she and her Viper duplicated? Where the hell do they go from here? Dee shocked me, I didn't see that coming at all.

I thought they were going with Kara for a minute, which pissed me off, so I was rather pleased.

I wasn't surprised by the choice - there's always been a hint, and I'm glad it wasn't as cliched as another choice might have been.

I hated the idea that it was Kara as well. It seemed too obvious. Then I floated the idea of it being Dualla, until the natural end of that theory lol.

Ellen Tigh.. in the last few seconds. It didn't surprise me so much that it was her, just the way they did the reveal. It was kinda out of nowhere.

Overall though, the episode was pretty good. Virtually worthless when it comes to repeat viewings, but still an awesome way to start off the last episodes.

I thought you were going to show the Sci-Fi repeat viewing someone on TW described which had a commercial for tonight's ep at the end of the first act that basically summarised the rest of the episode they were in the midst of airing.

Ugh, y'know... I wonder if something happened behind the scenes that makes them hate Cally so much that they have to crap on her even after she's dead.
