Yeah. Before this subplot Apollo was likable, although he took a weird twist during the New Caprica period. Starbuck was obviously dysfunctional but endearing. Now I just dislike both – which isn’t good in a show like this IMO.

I understand what they are going for – trying to play up the effects of the Cylon occupation. But it ultimately didn’t work.

And of course, the biggest negative was the interminable Apollo/Starbuck saga.

Amen. Somebody please put that sorry story line to bed for good. All it it does for me is make me dislike the Apollo and Starbuck characters. If they keep this up I’m going to start hoping they kill these obnoxious characters off so we don’t have to suffer through this hideous “tortured love/not love” crapfest.

Note the scene is working at the link I gave above now.

Basically Caprica-6 tells Roslin that she’ll tell her anything about Baltar that the humans want. If there is a trial she’ll be the chief witness. Given that Caprica-6 was so heavily involved in the initial invasion with Baltar (and Roslin long suspected this, although it’s debatable whether she knows this is the same version of 6) this could be huge.
