So if I'm going to sit down and watch two hours of "Galactica" I want to know more about the current situation and not the back story of a ship that appeared in the second season. I'm guessing I'll sit down and really watch "Razor" this weekend or next week ((fall sweeps end this week so most shows are going into re-runs)).

But if you are a fan of the show it gives all of the backstory for the Pegasus, which I found interesting, and we even see some more old style Cylons and the TALK (Craig did a cheer for that). There were some bits that filled in gaps from the last seasons, and some bits that I think will be explained more next season. I think Admiral Cain, who the story revolves heavily around, is an interesting character because she is not what most people think of as a typical woman. And, this story poses some interesting questions about human emotion and ethics in the face of war and survival. While I did not walk away feeling like it was the best story ever, I did enjoy it overall.
