Battlestar Galactica S1 E10

Spoilers

“Hand of God”

With the fuel supplies dwindling among the fleet, Adama and his crew of the Galactica take a huge risk in an attempt to find energy to support them.

This is one of Starbuck’s big time episodes as she is shown to be capable, smart and more than just the best pilot in the fleet.

It also gave some major props to Apollo as he stepped up and took the place of Starbuck, whose knee injury was not healed fully for her to be involved in this attack plan.

After plenty of time in these first 10 episodes (and the mini-series prior) where the humans were just able to escape from the Cylons, it was good to see them articulate and execute a plan to fight back once. Their plan was offensive and gave some hope that it was not just evacuation that the humans could do against the Cylon fleet.

I’m still not getting sucked in by Baltar again. After last episode, he is still the villain in the mix to me and, even though he made a lucky pick at where to strike on the base, I am not buying him as a hero. I am not sure what motivated his mind Number Six, but it can’t be positive for the humans.

Exciting episode with some great effects. It looks really amazing for a Syfy Channel show.
