I am struggling to make it to the end of this series. It's too freaking convoluted and slow. The show has shown its potential many times in the past, but the last episodes have been more of a let down than a build up.

Speaking of Earth, are they still there? They can't jump and they have nowhere else to go. Are they just in orbit/in the solar system, or are they just aimlessly wandering in the great void of space? You know, kinda like what the writers are doing?

Another episode with next to no plot advancement.
But about the ad for next week (no spoilers) I'd love a poster of the shot of the hangar deck.

man talk about a "meh" episode. They sure are sputtering towards the finale rather than revving it up like they did with the Mutiny episodes. I have a funny feeling the final payoff just isn't going to be worth it but I hope I'm wrong.

Wow, could they hammer it home anymore that humans now have a way (unknown for now) to resurrect themselves a la Starbuck? Wouldn't the cylons be jealous of such a process?

^ yeah and after one puff comes the existential "whoa" question: "What is home?"
If you were expecting tons of revelations, like I was for a bit, you might feel let down but it really was a good episode of BSG. The shot of Tigh and Adama drinking to Galactica was awesome.
The Canadian promo showed only half of that Cylon colony, with the spikes, so I thought it was the Ship of Lights, as possibly alluded to in Starbuck's drawings.

Loved it from start to finish. I really feel like things are drawing to a close, all bets are off and anything goes.
This is how you build to a finale. Big changes (abandoning ship), small moments (Laura and Adama remembering their time on New Caprica) and some cool stuff (the dying 8's line from "All Along The Watchtower").
Cannot wait to see what happens.

Roslin dying painfully slowly, though lucidly and wisely? Check.
Adama sobbing, throwing things, and generally acting like an out-of-control teenager? Check.
Irritating, incredibly foolish Baltar who can't recall a female officer he nailed? Check.
Yes, it's still post-season 2 BSG.

And are we supposed to feel any sympathy for Boomer at this point? Any that might have been left was pretty much done with after last week's episode.

The episode wasn't bad, except when you remember that we only have a few left. I guess next weeks will be posturing about
Spoiler:
I can see how a lot of the characters will get closure

The show's suffering the same problem as DS9 -- the final run of episodes is full of plots that do nothing to move us towards a conclusion, that would've been good in the first or second season but are disappointing when you want everything wrapped up.
