I thought it was great, and I thought EJO gave a very powerful performance this episode.

I guess I'm one of the minority, but I liked it. The revelation was great. Stuff like that keeps me watching.

Thos.

TV Guide says Galactica will move to Sundays for season 3.5 at 9pm CST.

I don't know how to take that, is that 'good'?

I doubt that is "good", since it will be taking on the Sunday night powers from the big 3....I would think they would like ot keep it on Fridays to keep the Sci Fi Fridays intact with pushing more non sci fi programming on us, ut all depends really though hopefully this isnt true and we will ahve SG1, SGA and BSG back on Fridays, but my thinking is that they will move BSG to Sunday and keep Dr WHo on Fridays along with SG1 (the last episodes remaining) and SGA, but thats just my opinion...

As far as the episode I enjoyed watching it, gave some "filler" to the story on why the Cylons attacked ect, also THe Cylons most "knew" sooner or later that Bulldog would find out what rally happened to him and being human nature would want revenge in one form or another so they were hedging thier bets.......

About next wek I dont know but this one seems more of a filler episode then anyother I have seen "gladiator" style events dont really entice me and I dont see where they are taking it hopefully the pisode will clear that up....

I liked this episode.Interesting character stuff. I agree next weeks looks just horrible.

Yeah that was truly preposterous.

Yeah I didn't get that either.

Was he somehow "programmed" to go after Adama, or were the cylons just hoping that's what would happen?

And how did they even know Bulldog would be pissed at Adama?

How could they know that Adama shot Bulldog's ship down, etc?

I mean I guess they could have gotten that out of him through torture but if that's the case, they made no mention of that in the episode.

Overall I thought this one was kind of weak.

We KNOW Adama isn't going to die (not at this stage in the game anyhow) so the threat of someone trying to kill him isn't too intimidating.

Yeah although maybe he should. He's such a pussy.

adama shot him down after the cylons attacked and it means they probably recorded the whole thing just like starbuck was watching the recorded version of bulldog's escape

Hmmm - I liked this episode just fine (and I think next week's looks interesting too). Especially the stuff with D'anna. I love it when the Cylons get all trippy.

And yeah, I missed Starbuck, but there are a lot of characters to deal with on this show (especially since we now see so much of the Cylons on their ship) so I don't mind when some come forward and others move back. I think they've done a tremendous job fleshing out a BIG cast.

And it's always nice to see Dixon (and hey, they've got another Raider!) and I thought he did a good job with a small role. I really liked how viciously he killed the Three that was tormenting him. And seeing Tigh a) kicking ass and b) with an eyepatch instead of the gauze was nice.

Is my iTunes broken or did they never release a podcast for this episode?

Finally watched this off the box, while the idea that Bulldog would head straight for Adama is a little tenous, we don't really know how far the Cylons got inside his head. If they broke him and he told what happened, they might have been able to give just enough programming to push him over the edge.

It was interesting seeing Adama's previous command, though I'm not sure if I like the idea that the colonies instigated the war (like, recently, as opposed to the 40 years previous events).

I'll try to get to the next one this weekend, then I've got about 4-5 Who's to catch up on.

They obviously didn't get the information from Bulldog, as HE didn't even know Adama shot him down until Tigh told him.

I'll add to your questions, how the hell did Bulldog and the two Raiders that were chasing him find the Galactica so easily? If the Cylon's know where Galactica is, wouldn't they be on their ass already?

I was really dissapointed with these last three episodes. Just started watching the series from the beginning a couple months ago and got as far as "Hero" last night. I don't remember anything from the first two seasons (which are pretty fresh in my mind) that made as little sense as the last few. There were a couple episodes that were just bad ("Scar" comes to mind right away) but I didn't even think "Black Market" was as lame as these last three. Will probably watch "Unfinished Business" off the DVR tonight. Praying it steps this season up a bit.

Latest one was pretty bad too. Uhhh....boxing?? The writers are super lazy on this show, they rely on Earth-based paradigms when clearly there would be no way for those people to have any connection to things that arose on Earth, such as boxing. Ironically the only place where they use more appropriate conventions is when borrowing them from the original series (frak, words for time such as yahrens (sp) etc).

Hm, I actually just finished "Unfinished Business" and REALLY enjoyed it. I though it was the best episode since Exodus Pt. 2. I'll post more of my thoughts in that thread.
