I don't think that I've enjoyed the show in the same way since they resolved most of the New Caprica fiasco - season 3.3ish. This half season had a better tempo than most of season 3 but yeah, it doesn't seem to have the urgency/something else that made this show so incredibly watchable in the first place. Personally I tend to think that it's because people don't really work anymore (on screen). Hitchcock once said that any character can be lovable so long as they're good at what they do. Well it's been a long time since I saw Tyrol do any actual flight deck maintanence work, and my liking of his character has certainly suffered for it.
It's like in Razor when they showed us the Pegasis origins. The commander was set up to be some military hardass who was taking the fight to the cylons, and then when they showed that mini-movie she got destroyed on her first assault. It instantly removes all sense that her opinion was valid and simply sets her up as a villain.
Another thing that has dragged this season (and most of 3) down is the lack of origional music. They've really picked up that baton in the last couple episodes with at least 3 new tunes, but I was getting sick and tired of every heart to heart moment being impailed by bagpipes before anyone even said a word.

When she said that I thought that Anders was still on the baseship. But it appears that he wasn't. However, Roselynn, Gaius & Helo (not likely a Cylon) were on the ship. It makes my head spin a little, and then I realize that I'm watching a (not even weekly) soap opera set in space and I feel shame. But not very much shame.
