[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 4259837, member: 20741"] The problem with the events in this episode is that we now know that the "changes" that supposedly happen will be undone in a few episodes. You can only go to that well so often before the audience knows it's just all crap. Will Lee really remain President? No. Will Adama really no longer be commander of the fleet? No. Will Sharon remain in the brig? No again. This is a show that was once premised upon consequences. But unfortunately, the writers have demonstrated that when it comes to true role changes - they simply don't take. It's all reset back to square one a few episodes later. That should be self-evident to all viewers and the writers as well. Given that it so - I have a hard time accepting why they have chose to go this route. The brightest light of the season continues to be Michael Hogan's Sault Tigh. Saul Tigh is easily the most interesting character on the show now - and there appears to be no limits to where Michael Hogan can go with the character. I kept reading the pre-hype of the season where Hogan was reportedly pissed off that his version of Tigh had changed so much his carefully built up persona as an actor was thrown out the window - and he didn't like it one bit. Maybe so. But the guy can do any scene and act in any persona and can role with any punch. He's the best actor on the show. [/QUOTE]
