Quoting yourself? Sheesh...
The thing I find interesting about Baltar--and even more so with this last episode--is that you're not really all that sure that he really is a 'bad guy.' It would be so easy just to make him--and the Cylons, for that matter--just another set of stereotypical bad guys, but Moore doesn't and I applaud him for that. It's an absolute testament to the writing (if I can paraphrase Onodrim) and it's what makes this show so very, very good.
It definitely going to be interesting to see where Moore will take Baltar now that he's a stranger in a strange land.
As for last night's episode, I thought it was pretty good, although I would have rather had them explore Jammer's story a bit more rather than blow him out into space at the first opportunity. Another outstanding performance from Hogan (did you see the look on his face once he found out Gaeta wasn't who he thought he was?) and an excellent bit of work from Aaron Douglas, who plays Tyrol.
I find it a bit hypocritical on Starbuck's part to be so quick to condemn. She did what she had to do to survive, even if that meant getting cozy with Leoben. How can she hold others to a standard she can't even hold herself to? I guess it shouldn't surprise me all things considered, but boy, does it make it hard to like her sometimes.
