BSG: "You can’t go home again"

I liked the acting in Friday's episode, but I wish they could've avoided the bogus science. How did Starbuck plug up that hole in the Cylon ship? What kind of seal could she make that would make that vessel spaceworthy? Shit, we've seen two space shuttles blow up because of tiles falling off.

Did the fact that she was piloting a ship by grabbing handfuls of meat work for you? The ship never had a pilot, so why would it have any controls you could grab? I guess we're supposed to think she was stepping on different "lobes" of its brain or something and it was reacting to that. But didn't she "kill" it, or give it a lobotomy when she shot it down? So why would it fly again? She didn't repair it.

I hope Starbuck doesn't get a disease from sticking that nasty tube down her throat.

Cute how she said, "Are you alive?" like Number Six always does.

Something I really liked was the tension when Helo was trying to hide from the Cylon and he knew that when the bread popped out of the toaster he'd be busted. I like how they wove back in the "Cylons are walking toasters" thing. The toaster even had a red light on it.

I also liked how Adama relieved Tigh of duty for questioning him. That'll really improve the relationship between Tigh and Starbuck, huh?

It was a nice touch at the end when Starbuck "waggled" her wings, which is something the original Starbuck did in a similar situation when he was flying a Cylon Raider.

Baltar is looking grimy. LOL!

I think Tom Zarek should use this incident to "prove" that the President and the military are corrupt. They jeopardized the safety of the whole race for one person.

They finally got the fucking water! The Colonials haven't made any progress since "33"!
