The mission encompasses some quite exhilarating ideas like decoys for the Cylon basestars in orbits, as well as having the Galactica jumping into the atmosphere of New Caprica and launching vipers during a dangerous descent before jumping away again.Notable events include: the putting to death of Ellen Tigh by her husband for having sold out information to the Cylons; the Cylon retrieval of Hera, the Cylon-Human born child of Boomer and Helo; the insurgents working with the Colonial forces; Felix Gaeta confronting Baltar; Lee Adama's coming to his Admiral's rescue; and the sacrifice of the Pegasus to bring down two basestars.
There are many reasons to bash the BSG for... like how draggy it can get sometimes, in addition to those cost saving episodes... the loose and unexpected sexual tie-ups (sorta reminds me of Grey's Anatomy)... the constant mythical and theological references... I'm also baffled how too often after an episode of BSG I'd feel like I have watched an episode of ER, or Law and Order, or the West Wing. I haven't followed any of those, but my point is sometimes BSG tries to be something else, or everything else.
Yet, on a good note... sometimes, BSG projects a clear sense of identity and engages you like no other. This episode is one of those sometimes.
