Hmm. For the most part, I agree with you, especially about the Baltar-Roslin scene. Throughout, I was a little confused and also a bit 'wtf?' and I still don't quite understand what happened. So I generally agree with what you said. I did think that that scene featured some wonderful acting by Mary and James, though.
Also, I loved Baltar talking to the Centurion. I don't know why, but I was laughing during the entire scene. And I never realized how much I missed Three. Now that I think about it, she's probably my favorite Cylon of all. :)
And yes, the dream!Kara was vastly out of character, but I was just flailing and going, 'OMG! Lee and Kara are touching and comforting each other! Yay!' I kind of let my starved shipper heart take over. ;) But I have to mention, why is Kara showing more of a reaction to Roslin's death than Lee? Because um, wasn't Lee the one who interacted with her? I think the only times Kara has spoken with Roslin had to do with the Arrow and the SAR to Caprica. And of course when she pulled a gun on her. So why is she reacting more strongly (from what I remember)? Have the writers really gotten that appallingly forgetful?
On another note, while I completely understand your take on the end scene, I was actually a little happy with it. Yes, it could have been handled much better, but I liked it. Can't quite say why.
I don't think I can explain just how much I loved Helo this week. But it was because of everything you said. So... yeah. :P
Laura being back as Pres again Blasphemous lies! You are wrong, Boppy! We will get our Lee-as-Pres fix. Like I said, I SHALL BELIEVE! Remember, they weren't back with the Fleet just yet. Have hope! ;)
And in case you didn't watch the preview, I won't be spoilery. I'll just say it looks as if Lee will be in the next episode a healthy amount. So I'm very excited. :)
