First off, anyone who had a clue knew that Starbuck was not dead.  Unfortunately, this lead to the corollary that she was a Cylon, since her Viper pretty much splatted all over the high-pressure "floor" of the gas giant.  Granted, she could have punched out, but since the Vipers themselves had a hard time escaping the gravitational well of the planet, I doubt an escape seat could manage it either.  So that accounts for one of the five. 

Her hubby, Colonel Tye, the Chief, and the President's aide...  they certainly fill out the rest of the five, and were relatively unexpected.  Personally, I was aiming for the President Herself, Admiral Adama, Apollo, and... well...  I could not come up with a fifth.  Maybe Gaida?  However, considering how obvious those options would be, in retrospect, they were nothing more than red herrings for the real problems - people who are not actually in positions of authority, but instead in places to very easily influence those positions.  Of course, now certain things make a lot more sense... like Chief Tyrol's discovery of the Temple of the Eye of Jupiter and other such things. 

Third, what is with the power blip when the ships jumped into the Ionian Nebula, as well as the President's sudden headache.  The latter could be nothing more than a convenient coincidence, but all of the ships in the human fleet simultaneously losing all but emergency power, just as they jump into the nebula?  Dunno.  One would think that a group who used to have a hold-out outpost and armory deep within an anti-Cylon nebula would know better than to jump directly into another interstellar dustcloud, but I guess they were in a hurry...  and overly cocky... and complacent to boot. 

Fourth, the Cylons seem to have beat the humans to third base.  Bummer.  And considering that the Starbuck that showed up in the nebula claimed to have been to Earth itself, I think the Cylons beat us to home base as well. 

Fifth, considering the massive presence of the Cylons in the immediate area, one has to wonder if they are back in "kill all the humans!" mode, or want to help out with the whole "find Earth" thing.  Although, since they have decided that Earth is going to be their new home...  Once again, bummer. 

Sixth, it is good to see that the Earth in the show is the Earth we know... in orbit around what appears to be a G-type star, having a small greyish moon in orbit around it, and with landmasses that are relatively identifiable as things we know, so the timeframe has to be within the past few millenia.  Not exactly useful, no, but at least now we have a relatively narrower window in which to work. 

Finally, I love the use of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" for lines, as well as a modified version providing the soundtrack at the end.  Very appropriate indeed. 

But not-so-finally...  we have to wait until 2008 for the next season?  What the unoholy flying frak?  I know it takes a while to put television seasons together, but making us wait a whole nine months for the next one?  Ouch.  Waiting that long is going to be all manner of painful... 

At least the last episode of this season was outstanding...  If there is one thing to be said for this series, it has definitely maintained its quality over time, and you really cannot ask for more, considering how great of a show it started out as.
