I'm wondering if they're ever going to resolve the issue of Tory having spaced Cally. As much as I enjoy the show, it's as frustrating as Chris Claremont's X-Men. Lots of interesting plotlines that seem to have just been completely forgotten about.

Just watched it and--wow--that was one fraqed up episode. I don't know if it was the writing or editing or both. I agree with some other posters here that I'm sure many of these elements will become important later (I hope!), but surely there was some better way to get there than this piece of filler. Sigh.

I was let down and I'm usually pretty of forgiving of BSG. But this episode just lacked. Baltar was annoying, and how many times did they need to show Adama staring at the bowels of the ship? I at least expected some sort of remark from the Cylon repair crew implying that the repairs were or weren't working.
I hope it's better next week.

Does anyone know how long it takes before the episodes show up on Hulu? My TiVo choked Friday night.

Aside from the mutiny episode, this whole season has sucked so far. The last episode had too much talking and was hard to follow, and this one was just plain silly. As the last of the revered Final 5, it was surprising to see Ellen distracted by petty jealousy; I would have expected more tolerance and wisdom from her. It looks like the writers couldn't think of anything to do with Adama, Lee or Starbuck. I've never liked Baltar, but he was at least tolerable the first 2 seasons. Watching him play messiah is really boring. I hope the series set on BD is cheap because I've lost a lot of my enthusiam for this show over the last 2 seasons.

anyone else find Starbucks line about "it was like watching my parents making out" interesting especially since we don't know what her deal is? Not sure if it was just a throw away line or not but who knows.

count me in as one of those that thought this episode was lackluster. a real let down after the previous few eps.

I thought it was hilarious how Ellen just flipped the jealous bitch switch on when she found out about Tigh and Six
Tigh's line about his grandfather being a power sander was great

i can't think of a show i've ever watched on tv that was so good at times and so horrible in others. this episode was atrocious.

I thought for sure Tyrol would vote to stay, the vote would be 2-2 and the argument would be over whether Ander's truly wanted to stay and since he wasn't conscious - they couldn't just claim a 'stay' vote.
And I wonder which writer(s) Baltar pissed off! I'm sure the latest thread is leading somewhere into the final shows, but they took a character of such promise early on and have completely eviscerated it over the last few seasons.
I'm starting to get worried about a truly diasappointing ending coming to a once great show.

Howard Stern said SciFi was intentionally not reairing the episodes immediately because it spreads the audience out and the show gets less ratings. Less ratings = less advertising revenue.

I'm sure that's the rationale. I don't think it makes much sense given the target audience (who is more inclined (computer literate) to illegally download).

Anyone else think it was weird how easily Boomer got to the fleet? If the other cylons know where they are why haven't they attacked them yet?

I loved Adama's line about going to the head to do something productive. A project I've been working on

She seemed like such a rational, mother-like being on the baseship (as if before with the humans was all an act), and then she returns and she's back to being a wailing harpie. And yes...how did Boomer find the fleet?
Put me in the "meh" column.
