Wow, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. Jonesy? Sophie? The healing thing? Wow. On HBO's chat board, there's all kinds of speculation as to what's going on, how inheritance of these powers work, and all that. I'm not sure how much of it corresponds to what's in the writer's head but I don't have any insight beyond what's already posted there.

Anyway, now it's the Battlestar Gallactica season finale coming up next. Yowza.
