I have to agree with Sly.
I'm not loving the new plot path/twist- and it really seems
to me that they are going to great lengths to make a political
statement at the cost of the shows storyline and integrity.
That being said...I'll still be watching so I can drool over

There is no doubt that there is a political bent to the show, but frankly I don't care. My wife who is probably one of the last people I would expect to make a connection with politics or history immediately pointed out similarities to current events in Palestine and Iraq, but also Vichy France. She then said, "All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again."
My wife and I were significantly freaked out by the scenes with Starbuck's daughter. That kid looks eerily just like my youngest daughter and when she fell, my wife nearly lost it.
Very cool! Although I'd have to give the nod to Star Trek, transporters would tip the balance. Beam a photon torpedo into the power generator of the death star, buh bye.
This topic has fallen too low!!! I was wondering when they would do away with Pegasus, guess it's time finally came. Now, is Lee gonna go on a diet or what? lol
Even though the name of the show is Battlestar Galactica, why sacrifice the more advanced ship of the two. Granted they would then have to change the name of the show to Battlestar Pegasus.
Did Tye really kill his wife? Or did he give her something to knock her out and leave her for the Cylons? A woman scorned...
What's going to happen when Boomer finds out she was lied to by Adama about her baby?
And looking at the revenge killings, is the Pres' Aide going to get wacked even though he was leaking info to the resistence?
I liked the jump into the atmosphere by the Glactica to launch fighters. That was cool. Starbuck really got her mind fracked by that Cylon and "her daughter" ploy. I was glad when she killed him, again. Everyone seemed to shave and get back to normal. Maybe Apollo can lose the fat face implants.

Yeah. Great episode. Not only did they end the silly planet sideplot but they did it with one of their best battle scenes in recent BSG history.
Sacrificing the Pegasus mighta been necessary. If the Cyclons had nearly blown the BSP up and the BSG showed they mighta finished the job. Pegasus would be considered the bigger threat. But since the Adama's didn't think this up together they didn't have a chance to consider which was better to sacrifice. Since it was rushed I gotta think they left a bunch of food/spare parts/toilet paper(Think about it. TISSUE!!!!)/pet meercats on board.
Nice job getting the BSP to take out 3 basestars - one on the initial push and 2 as it blew up. That's gotta be some kinda record.
I just moved back home to Pittsburgh and DONT have SciFi channel on cable.. UGH!!!!!
Do you know of any way to watch the previous e(last) episode???
I checked like google videos (like the south park/WOW episode) and found nothing there.
Doesnt look like the SciFi.com website has it either to watch...
