I've been a little tough on this season so far. It's like having two children: one perfect straight 'A' child (Battlestar Galactica), and one charming-in-its-own-way, yet not-so-sharp one (hmm, let's call that one Prison Break)... you love them both for different reasons, but you hold one up to much higher standards.

The episode opens on the Algae Planet. Why was everyone hell-bent on settling on Kobul, but no one even suggests living on Algae Planet?? The place has food, sun, AND oxygen. Sure, everyone seemed overly sweaty on this newly discover planet, but it beats the drab lighting on Galactica.

Starbuck is doing some showboat of a landing that causes an irritated Dualla to wonder aloud to her faithless spouse why she was always at the top of the pilot rotation? That's not all she's on top, heeheeheehee - bad infidelity joke, sure, but I was half expecting Apollo to stutter out some nervous answer, but instead he quickly ran to Starbuck's ship and pinned her up against the wall - who knew starvation was an aphrodisiac?

What they lacked in discretion they made up in heat. I still don't really buy their chemistry, but it was pretty hot... and sweaty. Then, of course, they had to talk about their feelings. Buzz. Kill.

Apollo points out that he wants something more than secret ass-grabbing in the halls of Galactica and quickies in the coed showers. He couldn't possibly mean divorcing sweet Dualla for the unstable Starbuck, could he??? Yup. What an asshole. But no, Starbuck turns out to be the bigger asshole, by saying that marriage is a sacrament to the Gods, and she won't divorce Sam, only play on the side. What she and Apollo were doing was just "bending the rules" a little. Huh? That's like someone having pre-marital sex Monday through Saturday, but abstaining on Sunday because it's a sin and a holy day - like God won't notice the other days you were fornicating your head off, but will be thankful that you took his day off. No sense. They're trapped in the dumbest argument. Apollo feels guilty (finally) and Starbuck is deranged.

We then see the Minority Report-like woman in her bath spouting words of wisdom or babbling - I'm actually not too sure what her purpose is. However, a very astute friend of mine pointed out that there are twelve tubes inserted into the mind-reader woman, symbolizing the twelve cylon models. Interesting. Still have no idea what it means though.
