I'm glad him squirming endlessly through the ducts finally paid off there.
Did you seriously think it wouldn't? The fact that they kept coming back to it made it pretty clear to me that he was up to something important, and it was a matter of time before we had enough clues to figure out what it was. Further evidence that these guys, unlike certain writers of certain British shows who win awards for tapping into the national cultural psyche rather than for any actual talent, can write. (Note to Rusty: Sit down. Watch BSG. TAKE NOTES.)
Did Tyrol see a claw mark on the wall at the end there? And if so, WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ANIMAL MADE THAT?
Sure looked like a crack in the hull to me, especially since, when he found it, everything went all blue, which is the Universal Color of Not Much Oxygen. Would explain why he seemed unusually tired there, even for the exertion he'd been through, though seriously? There shouldn't have been ANY air by then if it's really a crack, and things like the engine part should have been flying in that general direction. Oops.
Did Baltar actually show a glimmer of honor there? He actually recognized his responsibility for his flock. He refused sexual favors from a Six. This is huge.
Good point. Maybe at least partially the result of Laura calling him on his finely-tuned instinct for self-preservation? Still, Baltar mit conscience is not a bad thing, I don't think. Not sure about the prophecy thing. I don't think it was a giant leap to assume that the mutineers (wow, that sounds so 18th century) would eventually execute Adama, and everyone had to be thinking about it, but that dream seemed pretty eerily prescient to me (and kinder than reality, where they didn't even give anyone a blindfold!)
