I am going to break all this spoiler tag mayhem. I mean it is Saturday and if you haven't watched it yet, you should not be in this thread if you want a surprise.
Well - yup that is a way to keep the storyline fresh. I really liked the shot of Adama walking down the very quiet corridor and checking out the disrepair similar I believe to the first episode of the Mini-series. Classic.
So are we finally going to see some merit in Tigh next season? I mean really - he has done very little to endeer himself to both the fleet or the watcher. They did that whole "people can change" thing with him to Starbuck who seems to like him now. WTF. Maybe we see Chief run for office or something. Prolly he will just run the rebellion.
Now the thing I like most is the struggle feel of the fleet. I mean after the Pegasus showed up they had lots of modern fighters, and the tide was seeming to turn their direction. All the staff of the fleet gets pressed into service building "New Caprica" and the Galactica starts to show her age again. She was looking downright young before this.
Gonna have to ditch some ships or at least hide them maybe so you can staff the Gallactica and the Pegasus. Seems like they don't have enough people. Roughly the same number of ships (not sure how many went with Cloud 9 if any or the number of people who died) but there are roughly 39k on the ground. That would leave maybe 12-15k aboard the same number of ships. Seems beyond a skeleton crew to me.
I have lots to say, but here is one way to sum it up: I like when TV makes me think. I have been trying to devine what they were going to do for a solid week. I stayed up for hours last night trying to figure out what they were going to do next after I was done watching the episode. Lots of different threads. Lots of different ideas.
BTW, money plays that Duella and Anders are dead halfway through next season or so.
