I don't have much to say about this episode. The first two episodes before this were really, really good- they mixed intrigue, mystery, action and character development flawlessly, and packed pretty good cliffhangers at the end of each episode (especially episode 2). The directing, writing, and acting continue to be great, but for some reason I didn't feel as engrossed throughout this episode as in the previous two. The scenes where Starbuck and Captain Lee Adama were passing by the Olympic Carrier were very tense, but aside from that there weren't any other scenes that caught my attention. I love the religious overtones in this series so far. Many shows try to use religion in some episodes, but so far none have done it as well as Battlestar Galactica. I really enjoy seeing the contrast between the beliefs of the humans and the beliefs of the Cylons.
Overall, 33 is a really good episode, but it's not as great as the two that came before it. It's not a 10/10 like some people are saying, but in no way is it anything near a 1 or 2/10.
7.5/10
