The Hub is quite possibly the most romantic episode of the new Battlestar Galactica series, ever. Not only did it nearly bring me to tears over the most mature love story I’ve ever seen on television, but it also had one of the biggest plot fake out I’ve ever, ever seen. This was a bigger fake out than in Three Stories, the season one finale of House MD, and gets a reaction almost as big as when we saw The Crying Game for the first time. This wasn’t a twist, like a device M. Night Shyamalan might use in one of his stories, it was just a fake out. But it also scratched another name off the list of possible identities of the fifth and final unknown Cylon. All will be revealed, as the show’s promos say. I can’t wait!
Also, in discussion of the episode with the guys, I came up with the word “Cybrid” to easily label a human-Cylon hybrid; like Hera. This was just me mispronouncing hybrid and creating the portmanteaus as my mind was also trying to say Cylon. So it came out “Cybrid.” And here we are.

I wouldn’t call it romantic… but this was definitely one of the better episodes. I was really not liking the president anymore, but that gesture at the end of the episode really restored hope in her.
HaHa… Cylons are mortal now.. :D
That made me smile.
