But suffice it to say I disagree with you on most things :)

There's cylon pilots in the raiders? Since when? That just seemed a random insertion to have fauxAthena speechify.

It's only ever been explicitly stated that the Cylon Raiders are biomechanical. The Heavy Raiders on the other hand, which is what were being used, are more like the Colonial Raptors, and it's never been said in the show that they fly themselves. Indeed, we saw in Valley Of Darkness that it was the Centurions occupying it (and, we assume, piloting it) - so it's not unbelievable that the Humlons would fly them too. Basically, my argument is that they were never definitively shown to be biomechanical, so there's leeway :)

FauxAthena. What was the point? Well, I get the point an eight looking to be an individual decides to mimic Athena casue she hasn't quite got the hang of this individuality thing yet. In itself it's not a bad idea, but they seemed to just, do nothing with it. Helo barely even blinked.

This probably comes down to your view of Tahmoh's acting and what was necessary - I personally thought Tahmoh did an excellent job of conveying his natural curiousity, his revulsion and his confusion all at the same time. And also, I don't think that's going to be the end of this. FauxThena will be back, and pissed.

I'm not commenting on the acting choices made by Lucy Lawless and James Callis, because a) I've never seen Xena, so I can't compare; and b) I'm not entirely sure how you can say that the Baltar you saw was Season 1 Baltar - maybe in the more light-hearted moments of the episode but he's a character that can go either way (comedy or drama) depending on the situation, and besides that with the emergence of the cult (and his "forgiveness") there is a little less of the angsty, guilt-ridden Baltar we had in seasons 2/3.

He doesn't overact unlike so many others...
