battlestar galactica - the ties that bind



This was an excellent episode. Battlestar Galactica is back to being a really dark space opera instead of a war series. I'm sure those who love space marines running around shouting will be disappointed but I'm not.

Warning: minor spoilers ahead!

The tensions amongst both humans and cylons are growing and results in some violent conflicts. Brother Cavil is reincarnated and continues his conflict with the sixes and the eigths. I loved the scene where Six had to say please to a Cylon raider to make it accept her order and Brother Cavils response to that: "You’re going to find that you’ve opened a bigger can of worms than you thought." I'm a bit curious about the future for the number threes and the hybrids. I hope they'll be back.

Lee Adama and his father Admiral Adama seems to be destined to end up in a conflict with President Roslin eventhough the Admiral is doing whatever he can to avoid it. The President is very displeased with Admiral Adamas decision to let Starbuck have the sewage recycling ship Demetrius for her private search for a way back to earth.

The story about the Final Five and the four that we know are in the human fleet continues to be interesting. Galen has serious marital problems and Tory shows that she's a really cool/cold cylon. As Brother Cavil so nicely put it when Boomer asks about their souls: "We're machines, we don't have any."
