Two words adequately describe last night's episode of "Battlestar Galactica": It sucked.
There was a boxing tournament. Adama got the crap beat out of him, then made a much needed -- but way too late -- speech about "getting too chummy" with subordinates and all that. *Yawn* Oh, and Lee and Starbuck said "I missed you" to each other -- after they beat the living sh** out of the other. Makes sense, right?
This was probably what they dub a "money saver" episode since it took place virtually all on one set inside the Galactica. Y'know, minimal FX and all. Next week we'll see how the fleet deals with a food shortage. If the third season's track record holds true, we can probably expect Adama to OK the sharing of needed food with the humanoid Cylons. After all, can't have them starving too, right? It would "diminish" the human survivors' "humanity."
Once again, as Bruce Dickinson would say:
Personally, I found the whole Starbuck/Lee thing totally out of character. The whole yelling at the top of the lungs declaration of love to be silly. Is that something either of them would do? Ever?
Hey, they can't all be home runs.
