They have to trust Zarek and never spend two nights in the same place! Er, while I know in real life that this is surely not romantic at all, it somehow is on screen.

Yes, yes, yes!! Ooh, how much did I love that? (Sorry, I think I haven't said that in, like, five minutes, so I'm squeeing here again.)

I agree with you regarding the Caprica storyline being the weakest part of the ep. There was good stuff there -- I liked Kara and Helo working together, for instance. But it had a sense of 'setting up stuff for later' to it and wasn't nearly as intense as the rest of the episode.

The sports thing didn't bother me much, though. Possibly because I'd heard about the Triad playing thing as Starbuck backstory, so unlike the artist stuff, which I considered all kinds of too much, I'm okay with that. (Though I am of two minds about the sexiness factor of sports. *g*)

Maybe it is your mad love for Tigh impelling you, but don't go there because that's the loony Baltar route of crazy, crazy love and we don't want that.

I blame it on the episode driving me round the bend, but this is making me giggle like mad. *g*
