BSG finale: commercial break 4

"We never should have trusted her." "Trust didn't enter into it. I simply miscalculated." Reminds me of my current diplomacy game. (Next turn in 53 minutes. Go Mexico!) If the cylons can really upload/download their minds so freely, can't they just upload Boomer and then read her mind to see if she is planning betrayal? Or use her mind to simulate the upcoming situation, and see if she'll defect in the moment? Lots of of John C. Wright options here.

Another outstanding plot point: Balthar sees visions of 6. 6 sees visions of Balthar. AND NOW THEY BOTH SEE VISIONS OF EACH OTHER. Yes! My theory: Balthar and 6 are going to go get Hera. As per all of those operahouse vision/dreams.

Theory immediately proven wrong as Boomer returns with Hera, paying back the "one" she owes the old man. Then we have a flashback to explain that, because we didn't know.

The dying woman comforts the dying soldiers. X marks the spot. The terrible spot. I cannot imagine actually having that job. How sad that the former president's days as a religious icon/prophet are over; she might be able to heal them with her faith.
