Once in a while a really good episode of Battlestar Galactica pops up and I remember why I started watching this show in the first place. I am also periodically reminded as I slog through Babylon 5 episodes (ugh writing, ugh characters, ugh plot devices, ugh one liners), but that's beside the point.
The point is: tonight's episode was actually very well done. I like the developments they're setting up, I like the character they've introduced for this arc, and all it seems that BSG is lacking in (besides more screentime for Caprica!Six and Athena) is pacing. I fear it's going to be another one of those shows where the pacing is terrible but the season closers are asskicking. Things could be, and frequently are, worse.
I am also fundamentally opposed to the idea of them revealing more than one of the Final Five this season. Okay, maybe they can reveal two, but any more than that and I'm going to be annoyed. The cylons really don't have a plan, do they?
