Some spoilers to be expected.
The first two episodes of this season boast some remarkable scenes towards their closes that help create a fascinating picture of the dynamic between the vicious Admiral Cain and Commander Adama. The story here progresses admirably, despite the fact that a large number of the episodes contain stand-alone, one-shot plots. The "48 hours earlier" scheme is used possibly a bit much in these episodes. The election campaign is intriguing, and I am impressed that the whole crazy Dr. Baltar thing has been preserved so long without getting stale. There is a general feeling of yearning for the "good old days", that being the time of the mini-series and the first season before everyone underwent all these ordeals and became so hardened, especially with the frantic and extreme direction-changing finale, about which I have not fully decided how I feel. The episode "Downloaded", however, is a stunning and captivating look at the Cylons on Caprica and the shocking revelation that Six a.k.a. Caprica also speaks with an imaginary projecton of Gaius.
