Haha, I thought it might be, but I was just playing it safe .

Why didn't you use a pic of Ellen popping out of a resurrection tank? We've seen enough pics of Tyrol in this season to have the show renammed "The Galen Tyrol Show wt Killer Robots".

The image used is from the Wiki episode page.

[thevarrior]

Who approves the pics, just out of curiosity?

[genji2000]

I think they're licensed pics. Usually G. uploads them. Sometimes ThD.

Not one of the series’ best episodes. It reminded me of the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movies, so very busy with explaining its mythology that it didn’t have time for any meaningful drama, action, or anything else.

[Shane]

This episode for it's slow pace was very enjoyable. It explained a lot and answered a ton of questions I been asking myself.

While it didn't have much Colonial story lines it was all about the Cylons and able to show Cylon material while on Galactica. Since all the Baseship stuff was in past, it is no wonder why Ellen was never seen by any of the others.

[The Dirt]

So, so many answers... yet still more questions. I loved it. I don't think that I can do an action episode every single week. We needed this. I needed this. It was glorious.

Ellen!
John?
Boomer.
Daniel...
Anders?!
Starbuck...
Galactica!%&$

For how slow paced it was, that was a fast hour. And for some reason the discussion of the 7th model just doesn't really excite me. I hope more is flushed out about that.

I'm also wondering where Tigh and Adama get all this booze. Considering them alone and their drinking, then factoring in the 38,000 depressed people out there every ship in the Colonial fleet must have been stocked full of alcohol. Unless it's distilled from algae, which doesn't sound pleasant.
