I was...kind of okay with Cavil committing suicide though I wish it had been done a little less immediately. It felt like a calculated understanding that he'd lost, his race was lost and any moment someone was going to gun him down. So. Frak it. But...it was pretty abrupt.

I didn't find it epic fail mainly because there were a few ideas in it I appreciated and I made my...sort of peace with the show's apparent divergence from my opinon of WHAT IS AWESOME a few weeks ago, so I'm in a better position to take what I like and ignore the rest. But I also think I might be partly in denial about those things I don't like and we'll see if I manage to work myself to a point where I no longer care about those things (as is my wont with Star Wars) or if they eat at me.

The Chief thing, though... That I can't excuse or retcon, and I refuse to try.
