I love BSG, but it would be nice to, you know, weave some of the plot threads back together. A lot happened in the first two eps this season, but the plot didn't advance much. Hopefully tonight we'll see some major advancement.

Well, there wasn't any major advancement, but boy did I enjoy the new episode all the same. What I'm really liking is how they don't let some of the obvious loose ends go, like last week when the cylons were shooting at the crew trapped on Kobol, but they didn't chase them? Why? It irked the heck out of me. Well, this week, now we know why, and it's more than a satisfactory explanation. The metal cylons are more like walking terminators, and I'm liking that.

Baltar has to be my favorite character, and one of the more complex villians we've seen in a sci-fi series. The best part? How the man who is solely at fault for humanity's predicament because of his selfish ego is being brainwashed for further problems for the human race, and the people in the fleet totally percieve him as someone and something he's not. Now that's evil.

The best loose end I've seen was when the Cylons were hacking the firewall. Just as Gaeta was unplugging, there was a split second of showing red, as if the firewall had been compromised. People with keen eyes noticed it, but it was addressed right away in the next episode.

I love the way they are setting up Baltar, also. I never watched the original, but he sounded like he was just a evil maniac, with no backstory.
