[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] I wound up really liking the '33' episode. Less so, 'Water'. But '33' was real science fiction. I love the idea that Galactica, et al. have made FTL jumps what was it, 238 times before the Cylons manage to track them? That sort of relentless, unwavering determination is admirable in a bad guy. It reminds me of The Terminator. No, but it's great. It's what a machine would do: 1) [i]Track remaining humans.[/i] 2) [i]Assault remaining humans.[/i] 3) [i]Humans left? Go to step 3.[/i] 4) [i]Dance around little tin god or whatever.[/i] That simplicity appeals to me because it doesn't make them over-clever, but still makes them completely menacing. I love how ragged the crew is getting towards the end. Some of the Tigh and Adama stuff seemed like real short-tempered behavior. It's different from the way, say, VOY would handle it (with Janeway's infalible magic coffee decanter.) It made me question whether the decision to blow up the Olympic carrier wasn't sleep-deprivation induced paranoia. That's interesting. I do likes me some fallible hero characters. I like Adama and Roslin's strained relationship and the way Apollo fits in between works nicely. It seemed desperate in a way the original show and Voyager rarely (if ever did). Me likey.
