I'm another eyecloser. I swear if he got rid of the "Cylon's were created by man and rebelled" bit and the preview scenes bit, maybe they'd have time to show a lot of these little subplots that are only ever referenced in the podcasts.
As for Collaborators: I'm still not sure what I want to say. Definitely a necessary episode in the storyline, but not easy to describe how I feel about it. I wasn't one bit surprised that Zarek approved it though. And I do think we should have seen another scene of Geata explaining what he did. As it stands, it seems like it was written that way just to give us the "last minute reprieve" bit with Starbuck tuanting him and the chief overhearing. But seeing the look on the "jury" when the chief revealed he was the source, and then the chief eating with Gaeta was really good.
I'm wondering if Tigh is just going to go completely over the edge and eventually be written out of the show. I'd hate to lose him, esp with the acting we've seen from Michael Hogan in the past few eps.

Does anybody buy their eps off of iTunes? We've been waffling on dumping cable TV and this is the main thing I'd miss. How much are they per ep?

Wow, that looks pretty nice. I downloaded BSG: The Story So Far, and while it's pretty good quality video, it's 4:3.
Be careful buying older episodes. When the iTunes Store started selling videos, they were 320x240 and were suitable only for viewing on the iPod. Now that they've switched to 640x480, there have been reports that they are simply upsizing the old inferioir quality files.

I don't think they needed to show Geata explaining himself any more than what they did. When Starbuck is sitting with him and starts blowing him shit he says something like "Like I've already explained 50 times.........." then they show everyone just sort of staring at him like yeah yeah we've heard it all before Geata and we think you're full of shit.
Loved the scene when he puts his dogtags back on and prepares to put on the uniform.
What the hell is up with Roslin's Advisor/Assistant? She's shady as hell.
BTW I close my eyes too. lol

I frakking loved that Jammer stuff... how his increasing visibility in the webisodes and start-of-season led most fan-sites to cry "Cylon"--only to have him tossed out the airlock as a human collaborator...
