BSG: Revelations
So, I watched this Saturday morning, then spent the rest of the weekend going to a Bruce Springsteen concert (which was awesome, and he dedicated the encore to Tim Russert), playing insanely cracktacular games that didn't really help my non-crack objectivity re: this episode, and visiting my aunt in west wales, and my cousin blew my mind.

Because - selfish though it may be - and much as I don't want the entire Fleet doomed to a hopeless future in tin cans in space - the idea of settling somewhere permanently seems so...scary in the wake of New Caprica. Or perhaps just so unglamourous, so mundane, so small. But that's the tragedy, I suppose. That's the best they can hope for - a few generations living in shanty towns while their technology fails around them probably leading to some sort of dark age before the cycle starts again. (Unless the cycle of time breaks, which would be interesting).
You know, I think so much of my problem with this has to do with stupid New Caprica. I'll probably be fine with it as long as they land someplace with grass and sunshine instead of mud and rain!
