I always thought it was Baltar that left the note. I'm intrigued by Boomer's renaming. In the original series Athena was Adama's daughter. When Adama cut Starbuck out of the family does that mean that he considers Sharon a daughter now? Aside from a couple of missteps in the second season...
When Tigh said "Everybody likes Gaeta" I thought to myself "damn right!". He's one of my favorite characters and I was really worried for a minute that they really would space him (this is BSG after all). I was so glad they didn't.
That little bit of story has me terribly excited for the season to start. I think I'm going to throw a party for the season premiere. Between this and Dr. Who, it's going to be a fracking good autumn.
