Thought I'd keep this going since there seem to be a few diehard fans on this site, and its interesting to air thoughts on the series.

Another fairly slow episode, but surprisingly there was very little in the way of true plot of character enhancement.

Adama is celebrating the aniversary of his wedding by pulling out a picture of his wife, having a couple of shots, and having discussions with his long dead wife. Now this was a classic swerve episode as spoilers have been promoting a major cast member being one of the lost 5 cylons. Adama's conversations with his wife and the way that he handled the toy ball both in his dreams and in the ready room are strikingly similar to Baltars interaction with 6. It would have been funny for Apollo to walk into Adama's ready room to see the old admiral making sweet sweet love to the table, but this show isn't really about the humor. I digress, while this was probably suppossed to get the uber nerd community discussing this episode as proof of Adama being a cylon, I think its way to obvious.

Outside of that point, this episode was all about relationships. We're shown that Callie and the Chiefs marriage is in trouble until an accident that almost kills them brings them together, a little cliched, and I groaned a bit at the whole airlock pressure leak getting flung into the rescue ship thing as it didn't seem to be that original.

Obviously they're setting up Baltar's trial with Lee as the defense attorney, I'm wondering who's going to prosecute and is 6 going to testify against Baltar. Who's going to be the judge or the jury. I think Adama was right when he said it would have been easier to dissapear Baltar. I also guess its lucky that all of the lawyers are dead because a good defense attorney could tie up the holes that are going to show up in this trial for years.

Adama is going after the president for a little somthin somthin if you know what I mean, but it just seems so flat right now because neither of the actors have portrayed thier characters as either totally passionate or anything but self involved. But I have to say that Roslin was looking good tonight, and if I was a lonely admiral, I'd take her out, get her totally loaded and then read her poetry, or frack her, whatever.

Overall this episode was a complete downer to me as nothing really moved forward more then a few inches, but at least they seem to have Starbuck reverted back to a role that could be played by a cardboard cutout.

bleh.

Hope it gets better next week.
