What a great episode!!! I wonder how long until this boomer turns on the humans?
I kind of liked the tangent of her on the planet. IMHO, the writers have done a wonderful job of giving us a variety of storylines and environments to keep it from being too monotonous. I have enjoyed the break from seeing so much of Gaius and No. 6.

Speaking of Sharon, what happened in the Cylon mother ship (or whatever it was called) at the end of Season 1 that turned the Galactica-Sharon into an assassin, apparently against her will? I could see that happening to the Caprica-Sharon.
And yes, Gaius is one of two characters who I just don't like watching, the other one being Tigh's wife.

Was glad Tigh was kept to a minor role this week, as he had really been bugging me lately.

Just watched my recording of it. This is best show on TV IMO, and it isn't afraid to take advantage of being on cable in terms of pushing the limits with subject matter and violence.
Glad to finally get a lot of Katiebuck, she is such a gem to this show. The scenes of her discovering "The Farm" really moved the show from sci-fi to horror for a minute, and that isn't something I disapprove of at all. So many horror movies and shows nowadays rely on the "boo" factor to create horror, but it is all about the atmosphere and unsafe creepy feeling, which this episode did really well.
I also am enjoying the way they are exploring the issue of Church vs. State, not many series are willing to tackle such an issue.

Well, I tuned in to watch Battlestar Galactica last night and got some PGA recap instead. I guess I won't be watching the show anymore because my cable company has replaced the SciFi Channel with the Golf Channel.
I googled to see what was going on and apparently Comcast is moving SciFi to digital cable in most if not all of its markets in a lame attempt to get people to upgrade their service.

Small thing, but I wish the writers would tighten up the writing just a tad bit. I groaned when I heard Adama say "She can hide, but she can't run." What made it worse was that it wasn't even said tongue-in-cheek; he was being serious.
There are always a few lines like that in each episode. If they would just clean up a little bit of the sloppiness, the show would go from good to great.

They did this to me this week also. I took our digital box from the basement and hooked it up. The channel didn't come through.
