If I recall correctly in the Mini Series 2 parter the Cylon Basestar attacked with nuclear Missiles, or some sort of missile based weapon.

The Cannons seemed to be for shooting down Fighters and Incoming Missiles. It makes sense that the Galactica would just weather it. Either its Military Capital Ship Ordinance was stripped when it was about to be decommissioned, or perhaps they know they have a limited amount and can't use them frivolously.
For those of you who haven't bought the dvd, there is a deleted scene in which they show the Galactica dumping all of her munitions as part of her retirement. When it was a safe distance away from the ship, they blew it all up. Don't you know they must have regretted that once the war started. I think the only reason they don't have missiles is that the supply station where they resupplied must not have had any. Or not enough to blow up a Cylon baseship.

As far as Boomer, I think she's fighting her sleeping cell side, and will eventually resolve her conflict and be with the good guys. There's at least 2 of them, and I think they'll both do the same thing. Although one might have to be sacrificed. I wonder if Baltar will really work on a Cylon detection system, or just fake it like he has been doing?

I'd love to see Dirk Benedict and Richard Hatch both appear on the show. Maybe they can reprise the episode where Starbuck finds her dad (in the original episode, it was Fred Astaire). I'm still wondering why Kara is so mad at Colonel Tighe. Someone mentioned awhile back that he could be her father. It's either that, or it could be they had an affair. The reference to his wife doesn't really clear it up. It could mean that Tighe remarried after divorcing Kara's mother, and she took her name. Or it could mean that's why their affair ended, because he married someone who he wasn't supervising (that's why there's rules against fraternization).
