Also, I have to ask, why do you think Boomer might not be a Cylon?

Legimately?  No good reason whatsoever.  Emotionally?  They just can't do that to such a good character, so I refuse to buy into it full-on until it is just inescapable.
Watching that final scene of the miniseries wasn't inescapable enough??

Not necessarily.  But you hammering the point home is really a jerk move because, as I said, there was some doubt in my mind.  But you are unequivocally spoiling that issue, so thanks for that.

I'm not spoiling anything the series hasn't already said!

IIRC, there's two Tricia Helfers (blonde one), two of the guy Adama killed a few minutes before and another of the reporter guy and then Boomer, who makes a statement very out of character from the Boomer the miniseries shows, so it couldn't be the same one we've seen.

I haaaaate Helo.  What a terrible character.  Although this doesn't really become evident until later.

I dislike Athena as well.

I don't think I hated anyone. I guess you could call me the antithesis of Guineapig.

Same. Pretty much all of the characters have their flaws, but that's kinda the point.

I loved that. In fact, when I first watched the series as it aired Baltar annoyed me, but when I rewatched the entire series on DVD he somehow wound up my favorite character in the series.

He really annoyed me at first too, but as the series progressed he became one of my favorites.  I dare say that Gaius could be the key to just about everything, BSG mythology-wise.

Definitely one of the best episodes.  And a very interesting one, structurally, and how the narrative is developed.
