I especially liked "Bastille Day," and not because of Richard Hatch nostalgia. (I liked Apollo pointing out -- rightly -- that Roslin could only serve out her predecessor's term, and that elections at the appropriate time was the only proper course to take.)<br /><br />Still, when you have a show whose basic setup involves a military vessel running from its opposite number(s), you kind of expect more combat, or at least more threats from outside. I understand the paranoid parallels of the humanoid-Cylon subplots, but those plots can only go so far. The internal threat here serves the external threat, but if the external threat starts fading away, where does that leave the internal one?<br /><br />(Thanks for the smiley face, by the way. :))Tom Bonduranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209820912557263080noreply@blogger.com
