once again a fantastic episode, It managed to undo much of the major changes in the series without out doing one of those dreaded resets and kept the most important thing (the character development) going.
The treatment of religion was once again very fascinating. Starting with the title, Exodus which is a obvious reference to the Book of Exodus. I also liked the touch where the battlestar "parts" the skies when it enters the atmosphere, (Israelites ) humans flee the barren planet where they are enslaved (Egypt) and finally the ending where you see a sort of return to the search for a home.

Laura Roslin seems to think she is president again. I really have no idea what would make her, or anyone else, think she is president.

Baltar left New Caprica with Caprica 6. No choice, really - he had no more home with the colonials, so it was either hang with the Cylons or die.

I think the show is simply amazing. The acting is spot on! The story line is amazing. There are hardly any special effects in this sci-fi show...speaks volumes. This this threat...and add me to the ping list.

Baltar will be placed in a REALLY high chair on a basestar.
Actually, I don't know about the chair thing, but we will see a lot more of the Cylon society -including a new Cylon never seen before.

Baltar will be placed in a REALLY high chair on a basestar.Makes sense - the way they photograph him, and will all that time with the 6 foot blonde, he appears to be about 5'3" tall. ;-)

i suspect after the disaster that balthar was, people will look at the last president for leadership while they try to form a new government. Like everyone said, Balthar was the cut and run Democrat who preached the simple idea that if you hid your head in the sand they would be left alone.

Still kind of presumptuous on her part to walk into Colonial One and act like she owned the place. Baltar was a disaster, and I can see the electorate going back to Roslin.
