Errr, this has no replies so far? ODD.

Haven't watched the episode yet, but I will probably sometime tomorrow.

maybe some people didn't like the direction the show took this season. Sometimes, it's just so gritty and serious.

episode was ok, good to see marcus dixon still working.

It's neat that we are building a backstory. That the Cylons didn't surprise "everyone" by attacking...

..but I wish we didn't have to deal with a very Star Trekkian 'Neutral Zone' type of line in space. I kept expecting to see Romulan warbirds pop out.

Nice to see that Baltar had the very geek wet dream of a three-way with Six and D'Anna. That could not have been anything but fun.

I liked this episode, better than the last few...I'm sure we will see Martian Manhunter in future episodes.

Everyone is out trying to get a PS3!

I thought this episode was good, much better than last week's episode.

i thought it was pretty good, but it looks like they are using the DS9 model probably for budgetary reasons

big episodes full of CGI at the start and end of the seasons and character building in the middle with some smaller missions

episode was OK but it does look like the are running out of story ideas for the mid-season episodes.

I thought the part that dealt with the backstory was good.

Baltar is my new hero after the shot of the three of them in bed.

You mean they've structured this season the same way they structured the first two? Shocker!

Decent enough episode, but the ads for the next one have me cringing.

Spoiler:
Has any SF series had a boxing/martial arts competition episode that didn't suck? Babylon 5 and Angel both tried and produced the worst episodes of their entire runs.

This is the only episode of BSG that I truly didn't like. I could barely keep my eyes open. Yeah I thought black market was better than this.

Spoiler:
While not technically "boxing", who can forget TNG's "Code of Honor" and Voyager's "Tsunkatse"?


Baron, I fell asleep trying to watch this too.

Seeing Dixon was enough to keep me happy. I hope that this wasn't a one-shot deal for that character. The episode wasn't earth shattering but there were some decent character moments. Nice to see Tigh take one step toward getting his life back together. You gotta figure sooner or later the Cylons are going to stop trying to off the old man.

I've enjoyed the season a lot so far, but this ep. just felt flat to me. I think I agree with Baron of Hell. So when are we going to get to see Starbuck kick some butt?

I agree, Katie has been damn near absent this season. Was she off making a movie or something?

I was hoping for more and better detailed shots of the Valkryie

Well, she is co-starring with Nathan Fillion in White Noise 2.

I actually dozed off during this one as well. I have to go back and watch the last part of the episode.

I wasn't looking forward to this one, but it was really good. Nice gritty backstory.

The next episode looks like a disaster.

This was certainly a filler episode, but I still enjoyed it.

Considering that we find out

Spoiler:

Adama possibly set in motion the Cylon invasion


I wouldn't really say it was all filler.

It seemed like a stretch for the cylons to assume that once bulldog was released that he would go after Adama....as suggested for the reason he was "released".

Go Baltar!!
