Battlestar Galactica 4.14  

I still didn’t care for that storyline, but they managed to make it much cooler and more intense than I ever expected. And the episode’s ending was very strong.

I loved the darkness of it all but I think the wrap-up of that storyline was a cop-out; I mean, suddenly they all come to their senses? Puh-lease! On a more positive note, next week's episode looks heavy on the mythology: Anders remembers EVERYTHING and Ellen wakes up in a resurrection pod. Can't. Hardly. Wait.

Please do not comment on the previews for the next episode.

Some people chose not to watch the previews for the next episode.

There will be no further warnings.

Any repeat offense will be punished by termination of the lethal, violent and painful kinds.


Godsdamnit.

As for being a cop-out... I'm biased because I don't care, but the bottomline is, this was a low-stakes storyline anyway, because there was no way any important character would get killed by humans — they have to be here for the Cylon finale.
But I'd say most of it is okay because those reversals aren't essential to the plot: the fact that some guy cries at the thought of Adama being executed doesn't change anything, it only adds emotion; the fact that some of the soldiers follow whichever is the more powerful figure makes sense (and everyone did have time to realize that this mutiny wasn't that much of a success, so their motivation was waning); Gaeta's gay lover remained firm in his refusal to cooperate with the Cylons; and Gaeta's not-quite-clear reversal doesn't really change anything to the outcome, it's just there to make you feel a bit sorry, or at least ambiguous, for the guy when he gets shot.
