the beginning of the premiere was SWEET! i was so happy to have the show back. everything was so crazy and i was loving it, but then the episode slowly started to lose its appeal. it focused way too much on baltar and his cult group. didn't the writers know that after last season's finale, the questions on the forefront of our minds were "tighe, tyrol, anders, and tori are cylons?! how?! what's going to happen to them?! starbuck is back?! what happened to her and where's earth?!" and "what's going to happen to baltar?" was more of a minor question, but too much of the episode was focused on answering that. i guess the writers are saving the answers to the other questions for the rest of the season. i understand that they obviously can't answer those questions too quickly, but maybe they could've focused more attention and fleshed out those stories more instead of making a BALTERstar galactica episode. i can't wait to see the rest of the season though. its gonna be good!
