Last night's "Battlestar"
I don't mind a character-driven "Battlestar Galactica" every once in awhile, particularly when the character isn't Young Hamlet, a.k.a. Perennially Indecisive Lee Adama. My issues with last night's installment were the obviousness of it all (is it really going out on a limb to think that racism is bad?) and the nagging feeling that it was quite out-of-character for the Old Man to dismiss Helo's concerns so quickly. (In this week's behind-the-scenes podcast, executive producer Ron Moore explains the backstory in a more satisfactory way.)
But I always like glimpses of Actual Life on the Run: the animal-pen environs that the civvies occupy, and the comparatively-palatial Agathon living quarters. (How did they get hold of that Crate and Barrel couch?) And, of course, i like that Six is still having her Baltar hallucinations. Kissy-kissy!
