Galactica: Exodus II

I am inclined to agree with fajrdrako and crisper regarding the installment that aired on Saturday night on Space Channel.

For those interested, their reviews are here and here, respectively. Short and to the point, after their respective fashions.

Yeah, I liked it. I had been worried they were going to spend a long time on that planet, and I was giving some thought to dropping the show. Now I'm intrigued again, though I still think some of the deaths and drama are there to stop you thinking too hard about other aspects of the show.

Which other aspects?

Why did Starbuck think a girl as old as Casey could be hers? How were the humans able to so easily use their ships again after presumably cannibalizing parts of them to build their town? Things like that.

1) Ovary preserved and experimented upon by copies of mad scientist Cylon Simon model. Simon seemed just nutso enough in the right way for that, given the revelations of "The Farm I and II".

2) A lot more of the Colonials were likely more paranoid than was openly admitted to on-camera. They were on the run after the Fall of the Colonies for at least a year, after all.
