Pretty weak stuff. I'd been out of town for the past month or so with no BSG, so I got to catch up pretty much all at once.
Honestly...there weren't a lot of a good episodes after Exodus. The genocide one was interesting, if poorly resolved...and I didn't hate the boxing one as much as some seemed to. If you MUST have filler episodes, I'd rather have seen more of life on New Caprica with Exodus as the mid season finale.
I think part of the problem is that all of the tension is artificial right now since the humans and Cylons are separated. It's all just boring whiney internal drama and weird mcguffins.
The other problem is that as boring as the humans are without the Cylons, the Cylons are even worse without the humans.

I liked the episode... not their strongest one, but nothing to complain about. I actually felt a bit of emotion when Adama made Kat CAG. And that's saying something, since the character meant little to me.

so when does galactica catch on fire? although that will require the return of Boxy. is that kid free? I don't think I've seen him in anything except the pilot miniseries

And the piano theme for the scenes on the base star is stupid.
