This ep made me love Anders in a way I haven't since the Caprica resistance arc. He's is so frakking solid, even when he's totally about to lose his shit.
Totally dude. He's so capable of being a really engaging character when they give him the screen time and character development to back it up! And he is seriously a rock of awesomeness and support--even if the memorial hallway peptalk was kind of feeling Kara out for how she would react to him being a cylon, he still meant the unconditional love and support he was offering her.
Slashy subtext pwns my brain--and Sam seems to attract the subtext very easily ;)
Lee's bear hug was so emotionally satisfying! He has been so restrained and guarded with Kara at times in past seasons, and then completely lost his shit at stuff that I think wasn't really worth it, so to see him completely embrace Kara, to cry at the relief of hugging her, was incredibly vindicating. Made me love Lee all over again in a way that I've been somewhat begrudging about lately.
"Miss Smite Them With A Crowbar" is the best epithet ever! LOL!
