I have to rewatch it before I post my thoughts. The dialogues did give me a hard time, except for Baltar's speeches. I wish they all would stop whispering, and they'd articulate!

I must confess that I wasn't impressed, but an episode showing a lot of Helo can't be a bad episode, can it?

BSG seems to have lost its soul these days...Hadn't been for sweaty Helo I could have been bored!

Captain Agathon was very handsome (especially in the scene he tells his wife his has no choice) and down to Earth (pun intended), and I'm glad that there's at least one Leoben alive for he's pretty too...the rest of the episode seemed just so slow and....well, not necessary.

Gaius' sect makes me think of the Manson family...Tory is freakish. There was one shot of Baltar looking at her sideways during the sex scene in which I found James Callis very attractive.

Yeah the writing was less impressive than the eye candies...I will keep watching the show whatever they write if they put on screen Helo, Leoben and Baltar !

Of course the writing wasn't really crappy, there was the obvious mirror between the Demetrius and the Galactica; between two visionary leaders that believed to have been chosen, Kara Thrace and Gaius Baltar; between two human/cylon alliances, that is Kara/Leoben and Gaius/Tyrol.

I also noticed that Gaius' words to Tyrol, concerning human beings, echoed exactly what the credits used to say about the Cylons in the previous seasons: we(they)'ve changed, we(they)'ve evolved !

I prefered Tyrol when he had hair on his head. His face is too baby-like to go hairless IMO. Also the fact that he had to turn the radio back on for Nicky made me smile...Nice detail.

I wonder if the mutiny against Kara foreshadows a similar situation on the Galactica. I kinda expect the Final Four to split up too.

But at the end of the day, I think that the whole Demetrius arc isn't about Starbuck's journey. It's all about sorting Helo's office out. Adama couldn't have two XOs on the Battlestat Galactica so he set another ship to keep Karl Agathon as XO.

At least I got to see sweaty Helo. I'm sure Gaeta liked it too ;- )
