Heavens pardon my potty mouth (and I was doing so well), but after watching last week’s BSG well I was left scratching my head yet again. It has to be said it did remind me of the best days of Lost where you do get answers to some questions, but the riddles just keep coming. These are just some thoughts that came to me while watching and I would love to hear what you all think, because quite frankly all these riddles are driving me bonkers.

I was thinking and thinking – we all know Starbucks has been acting well a bit loopy (I know that’s putting it mildly) and in this episode she finally seems back to her normal self – kickass and focused on the mission at hand. But for the life of I could not understand her fascination, attachment (?!) to Leoben. It did turn out he was telling the truth about the base ship, but one would think she would be more vary of him. And then I remember a psychology class in had in high school, could it be that Starbuck has a case of Stockholm syndrome?
Oh heavens – the irony of Roslin leaving Tory in charge. Roslin who is so anti-Cylon, so anti-Baltar leaving everything in hands of Tory who has started embracing her Cylon inner b*tch and is sleeping with Baltar on the sly. Pardon me for being cynical but I don’t think this bodes well.

Heavens the Hybrid - I find it a bit funny when Leoben told Starbucks “You have to absorb her words” Absorb what exactly, she did not make any sense until they unplugged her and even then I had to repeat it to myself a few times to make head and tails out of it. Ok they have to unbox D’Anna, she will reveal the final five and then Earth?
What if she does not want to reveal the final five? From what we have learned in the last 2 episodes it is obvious Cylons a) can change their allegiances and b) are just as capable of petty human emotions and just as capable to turn on each other.

I have to admit I did find myself almost shouting when Anders almost (ALMOST!) put his hand into that liquid thingy, I do hope we will find out what would happen – eventually. Me thinks he would be able to communicate with the Base ship (at least I think) after all that Cylon raider did recognize him.

Random thoughts
Gaeta did not look too good in that last scene.
Debris from the base ship how horribly gross was that? Like something out of a Stephen King book exploded in space.

Will Roslin have a change of heart about the gods/God, what will Tory do with all that power, will Anders crack up and fess up who/what he really is, will the next episode mark D’Anna’s return, will she be willing to co-operate, what is it they will find in the Opera House?
Questions, questions and even more questions - no wonder I was left scratching my head.
