There was a comment made about the type of gun Boomer and the other guy had...about it being an old military issue, I just have this strange feeling we're going to see something about that come up again. There was no reason to point it out unless they mean to do something with it in a later episode.
I believe all they were trying to show with this was, in a subtle and for once in TV unspoken way, that Hatch's partner had set up the entire assassination attempt. If Boomer had been shooting on her own by her own choice, she would have only had access (supposedly) to a military issue weapon. When the comment was made about the gun's origin, the next scene showed a matching gun at the dying guy's side. So instead of Boomer whining 'He made me do it, he gave me the gun!' she just kind of coldly (and machine-like) made it obvious to Adama. Remember the dude gave her the gun earlier.

And yes, I've been avoiding this thread as I had DVRd the last 5 episodes and just yesterday (thanks to a cold) had a chance to catch up. I'm still really enjoying the show and am thankful that I was able to catch up *after* the cliffhanger had concluded.

Like DAYV said this is a remake and not a continuation. Actually I've come to feel that its more of a TRUE-make, in that the original (which I loved) focused more on seperate single-episode adventures (ala Star Trek) with only hints for the most part of the 'greater story' whereas this version so far has pretty much been ALL 'greater story' and very little side stuff. The original never had a chance to come into its own because of the few episodes it lasted. It IS well worth a rent if you'd like to check it out, but have an open mind because there is little resemblence really between the two shows. The Cyclons were true alien invaders in the original too, btw, and not human created. (or if they WERE, they never got there in the story
)I'm also glad that Hatch mended his fences and came aboard the new series. I like his character and think he gives an interesting counterpoint to both sides in the human-based conflicts.
Oh and Shim? 'Galactica: 1980' the series never existed. I mean NEVER existed.
kinda like the SW prequels... lol- kidding!
