It wasn't so bad. Missed the Cylon side of things and Baltar, but for blatantly obvious filler material, it was enjoyable enough, certainly better then last seasons 'scar' which I thought was the weakest filler episode I've seen to date. Some great fights in there too, very well done.

I'm in two minds as to whether this episode was good or bad. The bits on New Caprica showing what had happened between Apollo and Starbuck were needed. It also explained Apollo's depression and weight gain. But I feel all of this could have been done in about 10 minutes. Obviously this was a 'keeping costs down' episode, but they could have mixed in some Cylon stuff to keep the interest up. I didn't get the whole boxing thing at all and I mostly ignored it.

You really feel the lack of Baltar in this one. It'll be about the first missable episode of BSG in my opinion.

Loved Baltar's few scenes on New Caprica though. Really liked all the scenes on New Caprica actually.

Thought it was a nice, refreshing, look back at happier times.

(I've never seen a BSG poll so devided before!)

...oh, and Adama and Roslin were definitely smoking the wacky-backy. "You say this stuff grows around here?". Stoned of their box tbh.

I thought it was a good episode, character development is needed, it can't always be about blowing basestars up!

I feel sorry for Kara, she's scared of committing to a relationship where she won't be in control (with Lee), when she's with Anders she's always in control- she asked him to marry her, he's the one begging her to come back etc.

Adama and Laura are the ultimate power couple, and they were most definately passing that 'cigar' to each other!

Can't wait for next week, I think a good cliffhanger is needed soon...

Every so often they have to give us an episode that is kinda off, however having said that I liked how they filled us in on little things here and there. Feel bad for the other halves though!

good character story,but again Adama at the end with the unnecessary speech put my in mind of Bruce Boxinleter (from B5) "My father once told me" speech per episode

Why do some people keep feeling the need to point out this was a filler ep when they post?

I liked the story being filled in and it was needed to balance out the action of earlier episodes. But it wont be one I'll be digging out to watch again any time soon...

Plus looked like back on New Caprica, that Le Prez and the Admiral were smoking something that wasn't exactly standard-issue

Kara is a freakin loon tbh. Wtf was she playing at. I love yous here and there, and a wedding or two.

Poor Lee Adamas wife... just getting swept up in it, esp after she lost her real love earlier in the episodes...

Overall, the episode showed a lot and the fighting was good but wasn't the best thing ever!!

Ye i have to say i found that to be just bad
You feel sorry for her, but still i cant wait to see how it plays out

Were we the only ones who thought this was utter crap? Easily the worst episode of the show yet - we were waiting for it to end throughout.
The fight scenes as a means of relieving tension? Too forced and too damned boring.
The New Caprica scenes added precious little to anything other than shoe-horning in a Adama/Starbuck love element that we didn't need.

One I don't ever need to see again.

I didn't think it was that bad at all. i was not waiting for it to end but i was not a huge fan of the boxing scene reminded me too much of the episode of voyager when chacktoy is having those visions and he is in a boxing ring fighting aliens or something like that, - worst episode of voyager ever

This BSG was better because i actually feel for the characters and care about what happens to them, the only other show to pull that off was DS9 but i love BSG and the chars so much more than DS9

Strange episode.
Was very mundane for the first 30 minutes but then picked up nicely for the last 10 minutes.
I missed Baltar's musings and ravings .

Damm right maybe he was right when he called it "baltarstars galactica"

Ok sorry i don't get it

1.Skar is not is in NO way a filler.

2.I loved skar one of the best, a friend of mine just saw that episode and he liked it so much he started at the movie and watched every single episode

10/10 for a filler ep taken as just that with extras

That had to be quoted just because sioda is right that was very good for a filler

i missed that line first time around "You say this stuff grows around here?"

Ye good point im happy i voted 8 anyway

Overall i enjoyed it like i enjoy all BSG but as said above there was not enough Baltar and i did not like the boxing, still tho i will re-watch it at some point down the road.
