I really enjoyed tonight's episode and its about time that we had a Gorden centered episode.
Spoiler!
It asks the age old question of how far are you willing to go for vengence, and at the same time how far are you willing to take your friendship?
Scott Grimes was just exceptionally good in this episode.
I liked the question of the union desperately wanting to make peace with the Krill in the face of the Kaylon threat.
At the end of it all was the question was how much was peace worth if you have to sell out to achieve it. We know what the Krill are, Gordon summarized it so well calling them butchering Zealots, but its clear that the Kaylon are such a threat that its ok to get in bed with another enemy to counter it.
I liked that they put Isaac in the background for two scenes, I'm sure that at some point he will pay a price for his choices.
You can tell that this episode was made on a budget after probably blowing it over that exceptional battle last week as they recycled a lot of space shots from earlier episodes.
I've said it before Scott Grimes is a god damned treasure.
I've noticed that Ed Mercer is now the series straight man. But I loved his heart to heart with Scott where he tells Gordon that he's the only one that he can confide in.
I'm really starting to like Talia, but she seems to get shot as part of her job. But I did like her boarding procedures of the Krill including snapping on the rubber gloves.
