No real fraking in this episode. The streak is broken!

This was the first episode that I felt fairly meh about. Sure, lots of deep character development. Tori creepily revels in her new self awareness of being a Cylon. Tigh looks to the captured Six for answers. Tyrol starts to break down and lashes out at everyone around him. Lee continues to stick in Roslin’s craw. And Baltar is well on his way to becoming a martyr for the one true god. Lots of self loathing and emo to go around.

There was a random insert shot of Starbuck asleep at her desk with Anders walking up to her and thats all we get from the quest for Earth subplot. Why bother with the insert if you’re not going to do anything with it?

Overall, a very meh episode, a mehpisode if you will. Baltar’s one god sex cult is s little predictable. I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to see him martyred off before season’s end. Lee inspiring the Quorum to check and balance Roslin’s authority is interesting in light of today’s political climate. Lee for president perhaps? I’m actually a little more interested in the Cylon’s internal conflict than I am with the human fleet.

Ah well. Still digging the show. Not every episode has to be a total winner.
