could be good, but i'm hoping to see just what the hell Starbuck is up to on Caprica. It seems like we've only seen her for like 5 minutes total in the last couple of episodes.

As good a series as I've seen in several years continues to get better. Who knew that with Richard Hatch we'd see a piece of stunt casting reveal a pretty good actor & a damn interesting character? I'm also really enjoying the character arcs of Apollo & Balter. Great show.

Great show. Finally getting some payoff from this season. The first 3 episodes seemed to be mounting to towards this. Should be a great ride from here on in, especially with the

Great episode. Nice to have the old man back. Good theories in the spoilers. This is a show that continues to surprise, so who knows. I forget the number of cyclons types, but we know of 4 I believe.

Here is one problem I had with the episode. Not spoilered, so if you haven't seen it, don't read.....
The only reason I would put the Chief in the same cell as a cylon would be so that I could listen and watch how they interact with each other. It seems obvious that they would have the are bugged or have video in the cell. But Baltar didn't even think about that. Didn't occur to him. Obviously they didn't have it bugged. So why would they risk putting potentially two cylons together? Makes no sense.
Additionally, Cally should have been smart enough to know that they were taking a cylon to a special area so that they could learn all about it. One could argue that she was too emotional to see that, but I don't buy that. That certainly gives good support to the idea that she is really a cylon as well.

SG has no credit sequence anymore, well ok, a 2 second shot of the event horizon of an active gate

I think the show is starting to bore me a little bit. I think it's because I don't really like any of the characters, with the possible exception of Commander Adama. There are just too many plotlines floating around going nowhere.
The plot dealing with the crash on Kobol would have made a fine episode, but extending over several made it feel a bit wasteful. What was the point? The plot dealing with Caprica is also going nowhere fast. It's just not interesting enough to me to sustain going over 20 episodes. For me, it's only served to take Katiebuck off Galactica, which makes her far less interesting.
This might be a Babylon 5 situation, where everything will make more sense down the line, but I don't remember being bored during that. Well, maybe during "Grey 17 Is Missing," but I think that's understandable.
