The show is getting less fun. For me it was the last minute saving of the president bit that did it. It's feeling more like a soap opera about the main characters. They used to have multiple plot lines with lots of characters (with the stuff back on the home planet) and the fun religious cylon weirdness. Now we hardly get to see the cylons. Tonight better be better.</p> I’m with you. The show is getting less fun. For me it was the last minute saving of the president bit that did it.

But he did say that the next episode would be back to the BSG you expect and they really like it. He also indicated something about how this season ends… not specifics, but enough to make me go ‘oh no!’ in a good way.

That's where it instantly went south for me. The fact that she was not only saved, but did an instant turn-around after such a long decline was worthy of a Voyager episode. Baltar has always seemed a little over the top, so the handing over of the nuke didn't surprise me. His Cylon love interest is, after all, the head of the group he gave it to. The Apollo plot arc is a weird one too, as is the weird infatuation-from-nowhere by Dee.</p> <p>Who knows... we'll see where this goes over the next few weeks. They haven't introduced time travel in yet, so I'm still with 'em.</p> So you’re telling me you weren’t bothered by the last minute saving of the president by blood form the Cylon baby?
