4.10 mid-season finale!

Maybe they just got to Earth That Was.

Wouldn't bother me at all .

There is a great amount of space for the two series to exist in the same universe .

Yep, me too.  C'mon, guys, let's at least TRY to be original. 

[spoiler]Here's my question, why would they get to earth (which is SUPPOSED to be the end of the show) before they reveal the fifth?  Stupid.  And, if there is one person who did NOT expect earth to be barren when they arrived, I'd like to know it.  I could have done a better job than that.  I'm REALLY disapointed with BSG right now.[/spoiler]

ETA:  I did think EJO did a great job w/the whole bawling like a baby, just lost my best friend thing!

Al Gore warned us!

[spoiler]I could have totally balled right after Saul told him (I was trying not to laugh at Michael Hogan's expressions, but I couldn't help it!), with Saul going to the airlock and just standing there and Adama just devastated and Lee trying to get him moving out the pain. Saul: "DO IT!" I loved that he said that, I expected it, and I'm glad the writer kept him true to form. [/spoiler]

All I have to say is
[spoiler]poor New York![/spoiler]

I really enjoyed the Hub episode. Baltar 'witnessing' to the Centurion was a hoot. Rosyln almost letting him bleed to death was very good.

I've been fine with this season. I'm riled up, I'm engaged with the show. I'm not on the Internet while I'm watching. I'm not distracted. I am bakc to giving it my full attention. I'm still seeing knee-jerking analogies to current events, but it is back to being the BSG I remember: smart, dramatic, and unapologetic. (with certain roles more unapologetic than others!)

I really, *really* wanted to smack Baltar. His prostheletyzing does *seem* genuine, but it smacks of a load of gao se. Baltar's priority has always been himself. St. Baltar he ain't, even if he deems himself cleansed and free of guilt.
