Okay, so this rocked. In a quiet way. It was half an episode, but a *rocking* half. Is it just me, or has there been an absence of silence lately? Daring shots like the almost endless quiet (save the guitar riff) of Baltar smoking and Six watching on.
But on the to the point. The reason why I would have loved this episode even if it had terrible dialogue (it didn't) and bad effects (it didn't) and poor acting (it didn't.)
It did that thing - it made me look at one of my most deeply held beliefs, and think, crap, that belief could actually end up doing more harm than good. And the other ace bit? The belief I found challenged is also one of the core beliefs of the show.
