Sadly, this episode was fairly predictable and fairly heavy-handed. I was a bit disappointed.

I'd have expected better from Jane Espenson, because I am usually a big fan of her writing. After seeing the episode I told myself, "oh, all the parts I didn't like must have been down to the other writer" since she co-wrote it. But then in her blog entry today she described writing exactly one of the scenes I didn't like. Darn.

I really enjoyed the food shortage episode she wrote earlier in the season. But you know what might be really interesting, is to see her pen a very, very Cylon-centric episode. That could be really great.



Wow, the backstory is very interesting. I don't know if I agree that using B&W is the best way to signal "flashback" but the story is so good it doesn't really matter. Eccleston and Takei and rooftops, oh my. And little Hiro! This is my favorite show on TV right now.

My Bunny says it looks like Eric Roberts has had some plastic surgery, and I have to agree. It doesn't suit him -- he actually kind of looks like a Romulan, especially with that hair he had in the flashbacks.
