CAN wait.
Seriously, I hope tonight turns things around. Until I saw this thread I wasn't even thinking about the show being on tonight, as opposed to something like Lost, which was on my mind to watch all day yesterday.

I think the problem some people are having with the show is that you know there's a big Cylon reveal coming up so the show feels slow as it chugs along to that point.
I have the problem as well but still thoroughly enjoy the show.

The show picked up this episode.
SPOILERS
"The missing three will give you the five who come from the home of the 13th [Earth?] You are the harbinger of death Kara Thrace, you will lead them all to their end."
OK, so Kara is the fifth cylon and the five cylons are from Earth, but who are the missing three? And who exactly was that chick in the bathtub filled with milk supposed to be?

I think they explained the missing three later. They said the missing three was the #3 Cylon, Lucy Lawless who got boxed. She will give the five because she saw them in her vision.
The bathtub milk chick was the hybrid, which they talked about last season and in the Razor movie. In the Razor film she basically said the same thing about Starbuck.
And I don't think Kara is necessarily the final Cylon model.

I think this episode touched on what's been happening during this season so far - the deconstruction of what you thought you knew into something completely different. Who would have considered a Cylon civil war - possibly sparked by Athena making her own choices? How about Tyrol screwing up so bad Adama fires him, or the president considering Baltar's religious message seriously? Or Tigh shagging a Six? The old ways are breaking down on both sides - and no one will expect the new ways that will replace them.
Yeah, I think they've been dragging it out and could have wrapped up more big reveals by now, but this is more the unexplored areas of the mind rather than space. And the smaller reveals they've been having at least pave the way and make you watch so you won't miss something.
Speaking of which - did Baltar use the phrase "undiscovered country" in his speech? Makes you wonder if their world had Shakespear - or at least a thousand monkeys with typewriters.
And no, I didn't recognize Nana Visitor at all, so that must have been a good makeup job.

It was the voice that made me recognize here before the face.
I guess I shouldn't have been so hard on the episode, but I think the bad taste of the last few made me want too much.
I'll have to be more open-minded next week.

So, I take it the gas giant wasn't Jupiter (which I'd been assuming all along) because that would mean that the civil war started (relatively) on Earth's doorstep.
