Battlestar Galactica 215 - Scar
Before I start, what's with the return of the fast forward plot summary in the title sequence? I thought that Ron Moore had agreed to get rid of it. It means I have to close my eyes through the fast music.
Anyway, this episode the Viper squads encounter an extra mean cylon raider.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
So last week Apollo had a bad time, this week Starbuck has a bad time. I'm getting a bit annoyed with the flash forward start and then show the story in flash backs. It smacks of not being able to write a story that's interesting without cutting it up. Generally though I liked how this episode showed Starbuck under stress, and not coping at all.
I also like the idea that now the resurrection ship has gone the cylon's are a bit more cautious. And they're angry after being killed! And I love the idea that you get a super experienced raider who has been respawned a hundre times.
Not a lot of major plot arc reveal, but some nice space combat and a good character episode.
