So we've caught up with The Horse's posts now, and apart from ep. 4, I'm not sure where the "slow" accusation is coming from. We're only six episodes in and already we've had Starbuck back from the dead, possibly a Cylon, Starbuck going a bit nuts, Starbuck looking for Earth with half of the main characters, civil war among the Cylons, raiders and centurions getting free will and using it, a raider recognising Anders as a Cylon, Baltar becoming a fully fledged messiah, Tory embracing her inner Cylon and killing Callie, Tigh developing a fucked up relationship with Six, Chief Tyrol losing it and being demoted, Lee quitting the fleet and taking on Roslin, Roslin going dictator-lite, the Threes about to be deboxed and much, much more. That seems like quite a lot for six episodes. There hasn't been all that much space combat, it's true, but new BSG was never really about that.
