Quite a few great things in tonight's Battlestar Galactica.
For starters, how about that teaser? Multiple threads mixed together in a way that pulled you straight into the story. Another tender moment between Adama and Roslin, a startling and scary scene with Tyrol and Cally, and much more.
And then, I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see Dean Stockwell show up on Battlestar Galactica. And what a homerun he hit as this character. I truly hope we see him again, but if this does end up being his only appearance on the show, it was a wonderful and memorable one.
The rest of the episode, while enjoyable, was to me not quite as gripping. But understandably so, as it was laying down the story framework needed for part 2 next week -- and undoubtedly, the cliffhanger that will ensue.
I can't help but think back to the first season of the show, that also ended with a two-part finale cliffhanger. It was a cliffhanger that threw so much chaos into the show, it took the first seven episodes of the next season to wrap it up and return things to "normal." So I have to believe that some really serious stuff is going to happen next week in the season finale.
And then the long wait until mid-summer begins.

they just love to torture Tyrol. that poor guy is so frakked up, they brought in a super-guest-star to help him out, while the A & B plots were certainly setups for next week's stuff, this C plot was great. let's hope they give the guy some reconciliation next week.
I'm not too sure they would be so trusting of thier Boomer to let her join the "away team", they shoulda kept her on the ship with some guards or something. notice she was not given a helmet? what's up with that! it's not like this show to break the fourth wall and do it just so the audience will recognize the actor, and her sad-puppy hairstyle.
and I liked the small scene where Apollo wished he was part of the pilot group again.

Again, this is the Battlestar I know and love. While I did enjoy last week's episode more, the political machinations were great, and Stockwell and Tyrol were wonderful together. A lot of good, little moments. There were a few "move the plot along" moments too, but ultimately very satisfying.
