After listenening to the podcast, and thinking more about the episode, I've come to like it. It really sucks that she died, but its probably one of the hardest hitting dramatic beats they have ever played. It really changed the shape of Battlestar. Her death had this emotional backing and sense of realism that I've never felt from any other show.
It is arguable that her death was stupid and meaningless, but I think it made sense in the end. This episode raised Battlestar to an entirely new level.
