The Starbuck-Baltar thing did come out of nowhere. It almost felt as if we missed an episode, though by what she covered herself up with I'm guessing it was the night of the pronouncement ball.

Overall I liked this episode, but I do so wish we see Starbuck get punished in some way, shape or form. So what if your commanding officer lied about knowing where salvation was? YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL, NOT A CHILD. And that's what she's like to me, often. Just a child. A wayward attention-starved teenager.

Ultimately though, a good episode. The Starbuck stuff just struck a discordant note, I give it an A-.
 

There's definitely alot happening at once in this episode. Well done.

And the Starbuck/Baltar fling...well, she did catch him doing his "exercises" in a previous episode. ;)
 

The Kara/Baltar scene was a little jarring but I believe that was the point. They most certainly hinted that he liked her but then again he simply loves the company of females it seems. And she's crazy enough to sleep with him, too. It's quite established that she doesn't play by the same rules as the rest. And wasn't the original Starbuck a womanizer? Why can't the new version be a - er - manizer. Um. Yeah.

I never watched the original series, BTW.
 

the original starbuck wasn't a womanizer ... well ... alright he was pig, and pretty good at it ... until Casseopea got her hooks in him.

one thing keeps bothering me ... the Cylons seem to know what is going on all the time, why don't they just wipe out the humans and get it over with ... or are they trying to find earth too?

Though I am not sure it is working everywhere and always.
Usually the problems are around Boomer - G-Boomer´s Cylon self seemed to be unwilling to "see" the water in "Water".
C-Boomer seems to feel a bit more for Helo then she is supposed to do... Though, as No.6 says it - The model was always weak, but will do what it is supposed to do in the end. Maybe the plan accounted for her weakness...
And I don´t know the attack on the cylon outpost worked as intented. (If they wanted the humans to get the Tylium at all cost, they could have just installed no outpost at all....)

I remember the intro from Babylon 5. It changed every season. I believe, in the first few ones, they said "Babylon 5 is our last hope for peace", and then, in the third or fourth, they say "Babylon 5 was our last hope for peace. It failed".
Maybe the second season of BSG will say "The Cylon had a plan. But it failed."
Though, season 2 might be to early to say that...

meh. I lost interest in the series after the fourth of fifth episode. It just wasn't holding my interest.

Hmmm...I'd consider it one of the best shows on TV period and defintitely the best Sci-Fi show on TV right now.
