I'm going to allow my shallower viewer to show by saying ... Shaw was mad hot.
Seriously. And I knew she was going to die but I was more than willing to handwave any continuity issues if it meant more Shaw. She is - 'hello! where have *you* been all my life?' hot!
Plus, at the rate Starbuck's ex-girlfriend's are kicking the bucket on this show, I'm gonna have to start calling her the Black Widow.
I think my favorite scene was the one where Starbuck busted Shaw. And Starbuck's all 'you are soo my bitch now'. And Shaw's like 'bitch puh-leeze, I can hurt you so good in ways you haven't even heard of'. And Starbuck's 'true, but as they say - it's a long way to being my top. And don't even play like you aren't gonna watch my ass as I strut out of here'.
I think, in the end, I was just a *tiny* bit disappointed in that this wasn't really about Cain as much as it was a setup for the next season of Galactica. As much as Forbes sold it, I really don't think they did as good a job as I expected of explaining *why* she made the choices she did. And, in the end, there was that feeling Cain doing what she did not so much because of the dire circumstances but because she was a borderline nutjob who cracked under pressure. That's more of a time issue, imo. This could easily have been a two-parter. There's was alot of info squeezed into 100 minutes without any opportunity to breathe.
