What was good is that things started to go somewhere. We had goals and we had end-dates and we had consequences of those goals were not met by those end-dates. Up until now, anything being planned or hoped for by our leads did not seem remotely time sensitive, or particularly important. However, I still didn't feel a strong enough connection with all of the characters to care about their pain.
As the episode ended, setting up cliff-hangers for almost all the characters, classical music which was religious and hopeful in nature played in contrast to mass chaos. Cylon-Zoe (Alessandra Torresani) had killed Philomon (Alex Arsenault) and escaped from the lab; experiencing mass visions of the most traumatic events that happened to her this season, she drove a van into a military barricade. Dramatic, although we know the character will survive, but this is the first incident in which a Cylon killed a man, and it is quite fitting that it was the man she loved and who loved her, but betrayed her.
Lacy (Magda Apanowicz) realized that she had trusted the wrong soldier of the one as she blew up Clarice (Polly Walker)'s car. I was a little disappointed that we already have seen that Clarice was not in the car, as it might have been nice to have some doubts there, but I am glad that Polly Walker is still on the show as I enjoy her performance very much. It would not be the same, however, if Amanda (Paula Malcomson) died, since their dynamic is so terrific. We do not know whether her swan dive off the bridge cost her her life, or simply drove her completely insane. But maybe that's what Daniel (Eric Stoltz) will do in the second half of the season - create an Avatar of his wife.
I am only going to mention the plot of Joseph (Esai Morales) and Tamara (Genevieve Buechner) to say "Are you kidding me?" Joseph spent the entire damn season in V-world looking for his daughter to have her fake-commit-suicide and than kill his avatar so he could never go back. What was the point of that? What a waste of time.
So I wonder what will happen next, but I'm still not sure I know what I want to have happen. And if I don't have a clue what I want from the show, why should I care about it? Despite wanting answers, I'm not sure I need to watch the show anymore to find them out - a quick check on wikipedia will give me the answers and take up far less of my time. But, what about you? Are you desperate for the return?
