Battlestar Galactica: 02-12, “Resurrection Ship”, Part 2
Rating: 
I didn’t much care for this the first time around, but I was half falling asleep at the time. I decided to watch it again and I’m glad I did. I’m not sure why, but I felt better about it the second time. The score makes this show. It’s just as much a character in the show as Starbuck.
Everything else is a spoiler. Spoilers inside! Do not continue if you haven’t seen the episode.
Okay, well first off… why does this weird relationship Adama and Roslin have feel so intimate and natural? Where did that kiss come from? It made me want to cry. It made me feel like they’ve been with one another for a lifetime, but maybe a lifetime’s worth of experiences in a short period of time has the same effect?
I was sort of liking Cain when Six Gina shot her. I was almost starting to think Pegasus and Galactica could work out their differences. Now, I just don’t care what happens on Pegasus anymore, I just want them off my TV. I don’t want to see them anymore. The show is called Battlestar Galactica. I’m tired of entire scenes devoted to nothing but Pegasus sub-plots.
The show’s been a bit depressing recently, not that it was ever a barrel of laughs. It just keeps getting worse for Galactica. The destruction of the Resurrection Ship didn’t seem like enough of a victory. The previews for next week seem promising, but it could just as easily turn out to be morbid and disappointing.

Six DID NOT shoot Cain, it was Gina. They are distinct charachters. Six in BSG parlance refers to the one in Baltar’s head, or the physical model on Caprica before the attack. The way you have it, Six and Shelly Godfrey are the same charachter, which they weren’t. Hate to pick nots, but on a show where the characters are king, let’s get the characters right.

Thanks for setting me straight, Daniel. I made the correction in the review. It’s still pretty hard for me to keep up with this show in just one viewing (don’t have time for more though) so I just referred to any Cylon played by Tricia Helfer as “Six”.
Honest to God, I have no idea what the difference is between Six, Shelly Godfrey and Gina. Guess I’m going to have to go read up on Shelly Godfrey at the Battlestar Galactica Wiki, which I didn’t even know existed until now!
