My first thought is that if the ending is Gaeta going to warn Zarek that the cylons are like, crazy motherfrakkers and fucking with the truce or something, it might actually be a good thing we got these webisodes to explain why Gaeta made that choice.

Up until the last minute I thought the webisodes were pointless, but it seems it was all a way of establishing why Gaeta would go to Zarek and help to overthrow the government. I still have a couple problems with this though. Shouldn't this be addressed during the regular season? Will we have a scene where Gaeta explains why he's making this choice or were they relying on everyone watching the webisodes?

I also think this grand plan to take the fleet back is doomed to failure. Even a damaged basestar is one hell of a weapon and it's parked in the middle of the fleet. Can Zarek say "Go away" and the Sixs, Sharons, and Leobens are just going to do it? At least they've established Zarek has a history of acting without really thinking his plans through and Gaeta is acting on emotion so I can see them going ahead with their plan and ultimately have it blow up in their faces. I have a suspicion Zarek will not live until the end of the series...and Lee being Laura's VP would be my dream come true. ;)

I'm presuming - or hoping - that Webisode 9 is key to explaining why this Sharon model did what she did. Maybe we'll find out that Boomer was not the only one to split from her model line? And that the 'flaws' in the eights that Six has referred to are more profound then we thought.
