what have they been doing besides running in place?

I'm about ready to give up on this show at this point. I think they had twelve episodes of story and twenty six slots to fill. The Verheiden stuff is especially bad; last night's episode was a worst example of the "character development" via torture. Beating up and/or spotlighting characters does not equal development; I don't know anything more about Chief and Cally's relationship than I did before and it didn't develop in any way... plus, it's not as if I really believed y'all were gonna kill them, so why should I give a damn about this story?

Meanwhile, a'la 'Lost', their have been so many major changes that go undiscussed for no reason. Say, don't you all have a Cylon in captivity? Remember last season, when that was good for six episodes and a near fleet riot? Why is it unremarakable now? For that matter, where did the fleet go? The only action these days is on Galactica.

Again: about ready to give up.

Yeah, I wish they'd do more with this storyline rather than Cally/Chief angst.
