4)See just how messed some people were.

Betcha mine was worse than yours....

Good episode for the humanistic side of things. Thrace will be an interesting side bar now that she is in a different place. Will she go on a big drunk? Try to screw with Lee Adama? Maybe do something big down the road.

My sympathy. You hit the nail on the head with that one.

Three characters come to mind.

Tigh: This guy is a walking bomb that is about to go off. You can see that he's doing everything in his power to hold himself and circumstances together...note his restraint in trying to keep "the Circle" from being a witch hunt. It's a good thing that he liked Conner, else the poor kid might have really gotten hurt. i don't look for Tigh to get better any time soon.
Starbuck: Kept out of the fight by somebody who is a psycho even by Cylon standards, lied to, and decieved by that same psycho. Needs something to lash out at. Let's hope that it's cylon raiders, and not human beings.
Anders: This guy is TOO DAMNED QUIET. The signs are there though. A professional athlete asking for a cigarette? He calmly lets Starbuck walk away. This guy has the potential to be at least as big a bomb as is Tigh. In Anders' case, it's too much ground combat stress. He had a year of constant operations on Caprica, and four more months of ground operations on New Caprica.
The Chief: He's gonna be ok. His wife and child are fine, and with him, and he didn't execute the guy who was arguably the hero of the resistance.

Dealing with all of that baggage is going to provide lots of material for the writers to play with...a good thing since the expense of special effects in Scifi shows is making action series and movies difficult to do.
