I question the storytelling decision to include two separate messianic characters -- I can see that they were trying to parallel a false one with a true one, maybe, assuming either of them are "true" and not just out of it.
I do enjoy the return of Baltar's lower face. I hated that beard, I hated that beard so much. I would have hunted that beard to extinction.
One thing we noticed was that they've removed the low, grating music that typically accompanied Virtual Six appearing to Baltar -- which would have been great two seasons ago, but now feels off-putting because it's become such a part of the "effect" that Virtual Six has on Baltar's psychosis.
Apparently, once you learn that that you're a Cylon, you just hang out in rooms staring at each other, not really talking. Honestly, I don't understand why one of them hasn't killed themselves yet, particularly Tigh.
For a season opener, this felt really unfocused, inconsistent in both characterization and the story's previously accepted logic. It felt like it lacked a real plot and was the equivalent of people walking around, bumping into walls. Earth... we learn nothing about what Starbuck saw or experienced, and I didn't believe that nobody thought that maybe, just maybe there might have been some kind of wormhole phenomenon going on at the Eye of Jupiter... |
