Yeah, you just had to know it wouldn’t be as simple as finding Earth and everybody being happy.
Tigh and Bill Adama were awesome. Michael Hogan, from what I hear, really wasn’t on board with being a Cylon but he has played it to the hilt.

All four of them were great with the “not again” feeling as the song started playing again. I can’t wait six months.

And so, Battlestar Galactica is reduced to a simple fable – we run from our past, believing the future holds something better for our species, while praying we can rise above our dark “human nature” before we do ourselves in. This episode was a mirror, showing how despite hope for a bright technological future, we’re simultaneously on the knife’s edge of destruction.

In one episode, Battlestar Galactica moved beyond the addictive, nit-picky details like “who is the last Cylon?” and “how did Tigh get Six pregnant?” and reminded me of the big picture – our irrepressibly hopeful yet frustratingly misguided humanity.

Enter Doctor Zee – The Fifth Cylon

“The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr

loved this episode from” all along the watchtower” to Adama’s freakout about Tigh being a Cylon. Everything was just great this whole six months for the next episodes is going to drive me crazy. I must have my Grace Park fix.
