I just love this show. This episode was mostly set up, but had a little of everything and is so full of intrigue that I can barely wait until next week to watch. WAKE UP NUMBER THREE NOW PLEASE. Thank you.

This episode is the epitome of "show, don't tell." It's commendable just how much trust and credit Moore gave his audience instead of holding our hands and blatantly saying things outright. The scene with Emily and Laura immediately cuts to the scene with the eight asking Athena for forgiveness, giving the audience credit for being able to see and understand the contrast between two "different" things being the same, and two "same" things being inexcusably different. That theme of dissimilar similarity and "us/them" is present in almost every scene of this episode, actually, but never addressed directly. That's black label top shelf art right there, folks!

" That's black label top shelf art right there, folks" Too early in the day for me, but I'll have a Shirley Temple if you've got ginger ale....

Ok now I've watched along - Mary McDonnell, ladies and gentlemen. This is why you hire two-time Oscar nominees for your show (EJO's got one, so she's one up on him). Just beyond words, what she did. And I'm certain it's no spoiler to say that Mary McDonnell isn't through giving you knock-out moments just yet. You're right that this episode is mostly set-up, but what a spectacular set-up it is. So many things are put in play, and it's hard to say which is the most enticing at this point. Of interest: if you listen to Baltar's broadcasts in the background during the scenes between Laura and Emily, he speaks several famous lines from Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy, including "shuffle of this mortal coil" and "the undiscovered country / from whose bourn no traveler returns," both about dying and death, but also -- direct quotes from Hamlet? While the Hybrid is quoting The Book of Jeremiah? Both of these things struck me -- a whole bunch of us really -- as *very odd* when this aired. The boat crossing the river from life to death is from Greek mythology (the River Styx), and Roslyn refers to the Fields of Elysium which, while located in the underworld, are the Greek mythology equivalent of heaven.

So much great insight! Thanks. This is the kind of set up I love because it doesn’t feel uneventful or emotionally dull waiting for the set up. It’s fully engaging as it tells the story. 👏
