Although I agree with Grim that the last shot of the "sleeper agent" was unnecessary. I'd been hoping it was Boxey.

Rewatching the first part, I realized that I completely bought into the notion that these people's world had been destroyed. The emotional connection made the scenes of the refuges and the presidential swearing in very powerful. There was enough conflict to keep it very interesting, but I never felt like it was overplayed.

Baltar is so incredibly slimy, and I'm a proponent of the psychotic break theory to explain how Six kept talking to him.

because he doesn't really seem to know that much more from Six's information than what his mind could have picked up on its own. I briefly wondered if perhaps he had been replaced by an cylon because I wasn't sure he could survive the explosion near his house, but my brother thought they couldn't possibly replace him with someone soooo snively.

I wasn't too sure how I felt about the parting shot, though I do like Boomer quite a bit so I'm concerned.

Just to not be completely gushing over it, the one scene that did break the action for me was the scene between the President and the little girl. Don't know if it was the little girls acting or the obvious pause in the action, but as most of the other stuff had been nicely underplayed that scene felt rather forced. I think they could have cut out the coversation and just left the part where her aid says that little girl you spoke to is on a sub-light speed ship.

I was also surprised they cremated the remains of the one cylon sample they had. I don't really think that the blood could be that identical (human blood is excedingly complicated to reproduce hence all the difficulty we have had in coming up for a replacement for when people need transfusion), but still they would need the body to continue working on a way to detect them. For a second I wondered if they could come up with a retinal scan like "Blade Runner".
