Anyway, yes, but isn't it kind of cool to see her self-destructive for once?

Actually yes, I think it is. It's interesting because we haven't seen it before. I think I went on about it because I feel so strongly that the message taken from this episode shouldn't be, "OMG HOW SWEET! THEY GOT TOGETHER!" but..."Shit. Laura Roslin is having a complete frakking breakdown."

But yeah. That's a story they haven't told us yet, and seeing her so...unhinged, so not with it was almost physically painful to me. Which may be a sign it's a worthy story to tell.

We'd been seeing a calmer/saner Kara post Demetrius.

But we also didn't see much of Kara post-Demetrius and she was probably on a more even keel because she's essentially been vindicated. I'm not sure she really ever stabilised that much, although I did appreciate the return to oldschool Starbuck. Still, this seemed more informed by desperation, exhaustion and fear than the old bragging, swaggering image-maintaining Starbuck of season one. Something about the "Okay," she first gives Gaeta as she pulls herself together; puts on her Starbuck mask is...heartbreaking, and I think why I keep my sympathy for her even as she says the most horrid things?

it possible she was just intent on not leaving Nicky with her cylon husband?

I don't really think so since she knows Nicky is not the Chief's son and if she outs him as a Cylon he's gonna get carted off to the brig pretty damn swift. Even if her marriage to a cylon was enough to make her want to kill herself, it then becomes kind of selfish of her to not warn people first/take her son with her if we don't have that horrific, "my child is half monster - I'm part monster," kind of connection? Bah. I don't know.

The Tigh turnaround was mind-blowing. The shizzy is gonna hit the fan if/when Ellen returns!! I don't know how he magically got OK with Caprica either.

I blame the magical power of Flipper. And may, in fact, start blaming Flipper for every nonsensical thing that happens for the rest of the season. :)
