I don't think we needed an entire episode to set up that obvious facts that Zarek is bad and Gaeta is a weasel, especially given all the unanswered questions they introduced in the season opener. That being said I thought part2 of this episode ( blood on the scales? ) was really good and has me excited about the final run of episodes. Everyone always knew Zarek was nasty but he's really nasty in this episode, and Gaeta well he's just in over his head, be careful what you wish for. I could have done without the "it was just a dream" part, but all in all this was a good one, it wrapped up some stuff that needed to be wrapped up, and cleared the way to move forward again. Now it's time to get on with the answers. Hang in there Chuck, you've made it this far.

And it paid off, because even the "off" episodes of Lost are really good these days. And it's not just 3 episodes, this whole "season" of BSG (which started like 2 years ago) has been getting lamer and lamer. But it's the kind of lame of people who've been blowing their wad since the miniseries ended, and don't give any indication of being able to deliver.

Because it seems obvious to me that humans blew up that cylon planet oh so many years ago, yes? Or am I forgetting something that would negate that theory? And I'm not saying a "Humans did it first" thing justifies the cylons' attempts to annihilate the human race, but it does seem that that knowledge should make the "mutineers" think a little harder about continuing a war. Because, you know, there are only 40,000 humans left, why risk losing even more lives? And regardless of some cylons out there still hating humans, they can't regenerate anymore, so WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL. Stop yer cryin', suck it up, and find another gods damned planet to live on. Sheesh. I’m really getting annoyed at the lack of talk about earth and 2000 (or is it 3000?) year-old-Cylon bones too.
