When the show premiered in December ‘03, I was certain that I was going to dislike it. Having been a fan of the classic show, I figured this show was going to be a cheesy remake that would waste one hour of my life. My husband felt the same way.

We watched the first show out of curiosity and became hooked. I watched tonight’s rerun, where Starbuck tries to torture the truth out of a cylon that they captured aboard one of the ships. At the end of that show, the cylon whispers in Laura Roslin’s (the president) ear that Adama (the commander) is a cylon.

This places a seed of mistrust in Roslin, who can’t hide her feelings from Adama. I didn’t suspect him of being a cylon until Sharon (a cylon nicknamed Boomer) shoots him when she returns from her mission. That’s how the last episode ended.

He said something that made her shoot him, although too much time has passed for me to remember exactly what triggered her reaction. I hope they’ll show the last scene again before they begin the first show of the next season, which starts July 15th.

I’m very curious to find out if Adama is, in fact, a cylon or whether this was a gross error on Sharon’s part. If he is a cylon, then things will get very interesting. Stay tuned.
