Bring back the Cylons dammit! I'm tired already of watching humans being human. And I wouldn't mind if Starbuck actually was permanently gone (although I know I won't be that lucky). Her bitch act was growing old too IMO.

I must agree with this to an extent - this season has certainly had more than its share of filler episodes, and I was never a big fan of the Apollo/Starbuck romance, which was always just a bit disturbing to me as a fan of the original show. And now it seems likely that they're setting Starbuck up to be one of the bad guys, if not one of the leading bad guys.
Are they running out of ideas as well as cash? Who knows. But the last couple of episodes have been better.
