So what song was Gaeta singing? I couldn't hear the text too well since I was on the train, though lordy, he's got a nice voice! I thought of you the whole time he was on screen, because I kept thinking "Hmm, maybe she was right, 'cause something is definitely up with our boy Gaeta..." (I also noticed how little we've seen of Dee lately--I was surprised when she actually showed up for, what, two lines in this ep?)
Roslin!Bush is scary, for real. Eep. I wonder if Adama will continue to go along with her. Which one of them is Cheney and which is Bush? Of course, neither of them are clueless enough really to be Bush.
I keep trying to figure out what the point of the Cylons is, overall. Seems to me that they've got to be serving some bit mythic/Jungian purpose. The scene with Natalie (did they ever call her that onscreen or did we all just pick it up from the Last Supper photo?) saying that being mortal is what makes humans whole is the one that really has me wondering.
If we created the Cylons, they rebelled, but took on our image, they could just be reflections of us, or they could be higher lifeforms, or both, I suppose. Then there's the fact that they can't have children on their own, so they need humans (speaking of which, are there repercussions of The Farm, like, ever?)--and I was struck by the religious comparison when looking at Madonna And Child paintings at the National Gallery the other week. (Not just the needing-a-human-to-procreate angle, but also the "created in his image" bit--are we god, or were we just playing god, or...??)
So just what the heck is the deal there, and will it ever be revealed for sure, since there are so many possibilities? /senseless babbling
