This one, for me, wasn't up their with the opening two parter, or last weeks, but it was a whole heap better than the priates one. It felt very much like a story from the original run.
Well true about the little steals but BSG was more recent I guess and more specific than the Blade Runner in terms of the science creating the dilemma. (people killed and re-birthed in a tank somewhere else with memories and emotions intact.} Also the reason why they wanted to kill each other immediately seemed a bit out of the blue. They had time I think to motivate and explore further and I do think this comes down to structural questions. I also think that the trouble in some ways is that the show is trying to move into BSG (and etc) territory, audience wise, under Moff, while still being a children's show. They could fall between two camps and alienate the polarised audience. Not me and you I guess. But mainstream over time.
