I'm a little disappointed that Katee Sackhoff is basically recycling her Starbuck role. As an actress she's got a lot of energy and I'd like to see her do a little more than the "high-strung butt-kicking b****." Her opening scene (playing poker with the undercover agents) really drove it home for me. "Ok, you just want her to play Starbuck with less Viper flying and more kicking."
I liked last night's episode better than the others, but the show is firmly in the realm of mediocre. But a similar show, 24, had similar problems in the first season, and didn't really come into its own until the second. IMO, at least.
