I guess... This was ok.....

It was dark, but look at it like this - as I posted in the other thread, this episode had to accomplish a few things:

1)Setup Baltar with the Cylons
2)Deal with the resistance and how they would integrate back into the fleet.
3)Deal with the traitors.
4)See just how messed some people were.

It did all of them, and it crammed it all into one show.

They almost overdid the Vichy France thing, with a bit of South Africa from the 90s thrown in (the whole truth/reconcialiation and full pardon thing).

Let's be blunt - a lot of their budget went into last week - tonight's episode was an easy and cheap way to tie up a lot of loose strings so they could move on to the race for Earth or whatever. Don't get me wrong - I think we'll see more about the resistance stuff in the future, but I get the feeling this was them cleaning their plate off so they can get to the good stuff.
