BSG Spoilers!


Some notes on tonight’s well-worth-the-wait don’t-miss-at-any-cost episode of “Battlestar Galactica.”


* If you want to see the first 90 seconds, click here.


* The revelations in the first 10 or 15 minutes of are so staggering in their hugeness, you may feel like you’re watching the first few minutes of the series finale.


* Baltar’s back in labcoat, and in superscientist mode. No worshippers lurking about.


* We learn how long ago the planet was nuked.


* Anders finds a guitar neck.


* Dualla cries over a set of jacks she finds in the sand.


* Starbuck & Leoben decide to explore the planet together.


* Dualla babysits Hera for Athena & Helo. (So I gather those scenes deleted from the prior episode - the ones depicting Athena's violent death - never happened.) This scene may prove important later.


* A major character speaks the words, “What am I?”


* Six finds something astonishing in the sand.


* Starbuck finds something astonishing in a field.


* Gaeta finds something astonishing in his bunkroom.


* Tyrol finds something astonishing in his brain.


* Leoben speaks the words, “I was wrong.”


* Roslin comes to some very big decisions. Mary McDonnell may be the finest dramatic actress on the planet.


* An enraged William Adama has a memorably tense conversation with his executive officer. It begins with the words, “Sit down, Cylon.”


* Lee will adjust the number on the whiteboard.


* At least one character will begin hiding a big new secret.


* The final scene deleted from screeners forwarded to the press is said to contain the identity of the 12th and final Cylon. Which means I'll be watching tonight as well.


* How does your screener end, spoiler boy? “Just ride the tide out to sea,” Tigh tells his fellow Cylon.
