Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

When the Tylium reserve of the fleet is running out and enough for two more jumps only, Boomer and Crashdown find a deposit enough for a couple of years in an asteroid. However, the Cylons are exploring and processing the fuel in a well protected refinery with a base with many raiders. Commander Adama decides to attack the base and asks the unconventional Starbuck to analyze their strategy with eyes wide open and based on Dr. Baltar's guess. President Roslin, who is delusional and suffering hallucinations with the treatment with chamalla, agrees with the plan. Meanwhile in Caprica, when Helo sees Number Six alive after dying on his hands, he questions Boomer what might have happened.

"The Hand of God" recalls the original series, with many strategies and airborne battles. The runaway of Helo and Boomer has reached an interesting point with Helo questioning how Number Six could be chasing them if she died. The guess of Dr. Baltar seems to indicate that he is an important part of the Cylon plan. Again the unpleasant part of the episode is related to the useless character of President Roslin, participating in military decisions in another ridiculous sequence. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "A Mão de Deus" ("The Hand of God")
