A Cylon Billy, eh? .... hhhmmm, doesn't exactly send any chills down my spine. ...my non-red-glowing, human spine.

I love this show but this episode went nowhere. Also I've noticed two character situations that make no sense, as if there's missing episodes.

1) Lee being the old "passive" Lee when he has the terrorist at gunpoint leaving the bathroom. just two episodes ago he had cold bloodily shot and killed Bill Duke and seemed like he had really turned a corner on what he was willing to do in regards to the human element making the Cylon's mission easier. All hostage situations (on TV) end in a raid and a shoot out so it would have been much more interesting if Lee had shot the guy knowing it would end badly anyway and then have all hell break loose.

2) They hinted in the last episode that Lee and Anastasia were getting cozy from training together and all of a sudden there's this big love triangle w/Billy. WTF. Again out of nowhere and they never addressed Lee and Starbuck reconciling their feelings many episodes back.

The way Starbuck is always at the head of everything is getting old as even short manned the military would still have specialists for such situations. She was absolutely hopeless. She's a great pilot, but there's a time when the marines have gotta do their thing and you get out of the way.

2) The feuding between Starbuck and Kat in the scar episode was from out of nowhere. There was no build up in previous ep's to show that was coming.

It really feels like episodes are missing or they're being shown out of sequence from a writing perspective. I also agree that we need to get back to the central issue of the Cylons, Pegasus and remember the nuke that Baltar has given to the "peace" movement. I do remember there were cylons in this show other then Sharon. A little less character fluff and more meat.
