I just watched this last night. Wow, wow, wow. I noticed the crucifix posture of Baltar, and wondered if that indicated his potential "godhood" or whether he is destined to be the sacrificial lamb. Good call with connecting that with Adama's posture on the table. That Boomer shot him just totally took me by surprise. I sort of expected her to stay behind on the Cylon ship and sacrifice herself in the explosion. I'm really interested in exactly what the Cylons want to do with the hybrid children. Are they trying to make a race that combines the "best" of human and Cylon? No idea, but it's fascinating to think about. The Cylon religious mythology strikes me as similar to the radical Evangelical Christian right..redemption through fire and brimstone. I can't wait for season 2!
