Dr. Gaius Baltar: Something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I will choose to call this something, "God." A singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself, you will find this spark too. You will. But you have to look deep. Love your faults. Embrace them. If God embraces them, then how can they be faults? Love yourself. You have to love yourself. If we don't love ourselves, how can we love others? And when we know what we ...See more »

Finally an episode that showed what I loved in the show. All the dramatic developments from previous episodes do have an impact on the characters. Baltar is becoming a true martyr and even a messiah if it continues like this. Will it be for the better or worse? Saul,Tory and the Chief are coming to terms with being cylons. It is a delight to see them struggling. Will they turn? Or will they side with the humans like they have been doing. It is impossible to predict. I have no clue what the writers want to do with the final five.Will they become a real threat? Or are they just a gimmick? I would like to believe that they do have a genuine purpose in explaining some matters. More and more it becomes clearer that Baltar is in the middle of all this and that he and the final five are connected somehow. I am glad that the dramatic elements are back. Although I missed actual plot developments. If the show continues like this then I am confident the show will be back in form.
