This would be less ironic if we weren't talking about an episode that included a casette tape on a spaceship.
And now on WBSG, DJ Daniel comin' at ya with the latest cassingle: A-side some boring generic piano music, B-side some crappy cover of All Along the Watchtower.

Damn it, you don't even need to bother with foreplay !

Did you at least bring yourself flowers, or did you jump straight to the sex?
No, but I brought chocolates which I sorely do not need.
One always needs some foreplay. You're getting married in 2 months...you should know better!

Ok, for tonight's episode, I have one question:
Did anything actually happen in this episode?

After the not really revelatory episode last week, I was expecting an actual explation for what's going on with Starbuck this week. But no. So now, we have two episodes leff to explain Starbuck, Hera, hallucinating people, resolve the conflict with Cavil, and wrap up everything else. I think there's going to end up being a LOT left unresolved.

That's pretty sad if they think that confirming her having died is some big revelation. I can't speak for everyone else, but I assumed her death as being real the moment she found her decayed body on Earth several episodes ago. What I've been waiting for is an explanation as to how that is possible! This episode certainly didn't give us anything resembling that.
And then there is as I posted before recently, this episode had more of the Roslin waiting to die and Adama waiting for the ship to fall apart. Way to give the characters something to do, writers!
I mean seriously now, what actually happened in this episode? We had a scene in which it seemed that Boomer was telling the truth about having feelings for Tyrol last week (GKE will probably enjoy that), Starbuck accepted that she died (big whoop! explain why she's alive despite finding her dead body!), and Anders regained something resembling hybrid-level consciousness only to repeat stuff about Starbuck that we've already heard. Nothing new was added to the story with this episode.
This isn't the first time that this show has felt like it was spinning its wheels waiting to actually tell the story. It's rather annoying, to me, honestly.

Nothing at all. This episode was an absolute filler.
It looks like all of the answers are going to be dumped in the series finale, the same way a lot of answers were dumped in the episode about Ellen's resurrection.

Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. I was coming here and I wondering "wtf do I write?"
I think this pretty much sums it up.
When fans can come up with more interesting storylines and "what ifs" than Moore, it's really a statement about the quality of the show (and not in a positive way.)
He's been known to say, "well, we don't have much more left and we're not sure what to do here," and now he's wasting precious episode time? So much to do in such a small space. Maybe the last episode will be some big secret cylon "head" that tells us everything and explains everything in a 30 minute monologue. YAY.
And hopefully they've ditched the Old Man drinking and crying episodes. It's fukkin old now and it's ruining the character.
Next week's preview felt equally as listless, imho.
And I think the final is 2 hours. Can't be sure, but I swear I read that somewhere.

Nothing happaned?! What do you mean nothing happened? All sorts of things happened! Baltar and 6 had an awkward moment. Adama and Roselyn smoked a j. Hera cried. It was chock full of action.
This was the "calm before the storm" episode. B5 had plenty of 'em, it was just that the whole thing was paced better so it played out stronger.
I think there's one more ep next week, then a 2-part finale (finales are usually doubles these days). That leaves 3 hrs, plenty of time to resolve the important stuff.
It's all about the song now, people, that All Along the Watchtower cover that Hera draws, Starbuck plays, and we've been making fun of for 2 yrs. They're all-in on making the Big Reveal about this tune the lynch-pin to pulling everything together.
Also, they did throw a bone to all the fans that obsess over the opera-house dream by bringing it back. It will be related to Caprica 6 losing her baby. I'm thinking she'll save Hera or something like that.
