I'd gotten depressed after reading a rather critical print review, but honestly -- I don't have any complaints. (Aside from maybe the final scene, which I'm still trying to form an opinion of; felt a bit thick.)
They answered the big questions and hit some notes I didn't think they would, and they used even the most irritating characters in the best way possible. Win.
I never, ever imagined Baltar's arc ending this way. Kudos on that. I was immediately getting weary during the truce, but nobody can fault Tyrol for, really, anything he does in this episode.
Loved the launching of the nukes. Skulls and Racetrack, you're more useful dead than alive.
Many little touches worked so nicely. Cottle. Romo. Jumping from inside the flight pod. Starbuck. Athena/Boomer. Flank speed. The theme on the last flyby. There were some misfires, but more hits than misses.
An angel, I suppose -- an actual agent of the divine (which is really the only plausible explanation for that Viper) unaware of her origins. I actually like that better than the Daniel-daughter idea.
