Apparently, I am not the Fifth Cylon.

OMG OMG OMG OMG! IT WAS SO AWESOME AND I DIED TEH END!

We're watching the rewatch at midnight because I'm sure that I missed at least some subtle nuances, but damn... I will have to say, though, I'm not really surprised about any of the revelations nor who the Fifth is. They were Steven's and my first guess, really starting, I think, around the end of season 3. Nice reveal, though.

I am kind of annoyed by the high levels of desaturation in early part of the ep. Yes, post-apocolypse, blah blah blah, but when I'm trying to figure out if a scene is in black and white or colour, someone in editing is a tad heavy handed. Also, holy shit, how cold must filming on the beach in November have been?

Ok, so the XO's wife is the fifth, not a HUGE revewal, but really it seems to me that there are more than 5 since they were all walking around having flashback memories of living on the planet "before". I mean...doesn't it seem to you that Kara is a cylon too? How the hell does she end up dying and then come back to find herself in the viper.

And what's up with the chick who shot herself in the head minutes, no, seconds it seems after kissing Lee? Ok, so earth is toast but geeze, does that mean you have to be so dispondent that you go and shoot yourself?

And as for "over the top" the close up images of Admiral Adama's face all drunk, pissed and angry while in the XO's quarters. Gimme a break!

Kara's arc is definitely the most interesting to me. I'm honestly wondering if the corpse was a red herring. I get the Viper with her numbers, the tags, and the blonde hair, but honestly, there's no way you could tell who that might have been. It could be a plant, the corpse could have been the harbinger of death and now she'll lead them to salvation... I'm really into this.

Dee just kind of sucks. I'm honestly glad she's gone and I found her suicide to be well played. Much better than Cally's drug hysteria last season.

I kind of liked the Tigh/Adama scene. I really got the suicide by cop vibe off of it. He wants an easy way out after rolling the hard six and getting blown off by the president, but it's not happening.

Was it anticlimatic for you?

Yup. It was a bit anticlimatic.
