I find it really strange that after all the talk of how impossible it was to bring the Alliance down, and how SD-6 was just one part of the monster (remember the map Vaughn showed Syd?) that it would be brought down so quickly. It just had this feel of hopelessness to it; like something that would be a long, hard process and take years of work. And they've always emphasized that part of it. And now, all of a sudden, in one day, THE ENTIRE ALLIANCE IS DESTROYED??!! WHAT THE &*$)*#?? I don't understand at all.
I wonder if this was really planned all along, or if it is just a decision made to make the show simpler for people to follow in an attempt to get better ratings. I would really be disappointed if that was the case. REALLY disappointed. The whole thing just feels so strange...and rushed....more like a weird dream than a real episode. Maybe next week we'll find out that it was all a dream? Syd was drinking too much again and passed out? I actually wouldn't be too disappointed if that happened....
