Trivia
The title is a reference to the folk song 'Goodnight, Irene': "Sometimes I live in the country / Sometimes I live in the town / Sometimes I have a great notion / To jump In the river and drown". This lyric has also inspired the title of the
Ken Kesey novel 'Sometimes a Great Notion'.

Right after Dee shoots herself, Felix (who's in the hallway) reacts, and, as he approaches their quarters, the shadow of his (real, healthy!) leg is visible on the floor - even though it's digitally removed.

I was a huge fan of this show in the first couple of seasons, but it seems to have lost its direction. It seems like the writers are just making it up as they go along, and have lost sight of the original plan. The story is getting more and more convoluted and unclear. Now the humans have allied themselves with the Cylons, but you'd think they'd ask them why they bombed the twelve colonies originally, but they don't. You'd think the Cylons themselves would know why, but they don't seem to. The Cylon plan, mentioned in the intro to every episode, seems to be gone; they have become as confused as the humans and even split up into two factions. The Cylons, who have created the human-looking twelve models, didn't know who the remaining ones were? How could they not know? And if they are as confused as they seem, there's STILL no explanation for why they bombed the twelve colonies to begin with!!
And now this latest episode opens up another dozen questions without supplying any answers. What do they mean the bones of the people found on Earth (and hence the 13th tribe) were all Cylon??? Can these people even distinguish humans and human-looking Cylons properly? So, are all humans Cylons, or did the Cylons copy all the original Terran humans?
I like to think I'm pretty smart, but this is getting ridiculously confusing and silly. Unless some real answers start arriving very soon
- some pretty effing damn GOOD answers - this show is becoming a
disappointment of historic proportions.Get your act together, people!!
