Battlestar Galactica, Series 4 Episode 18, Islanded in a Stream of Stars

** WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS **

After spooling up the FTL and jumping us right into a mutiny mealstrom a few episodes ago, BSG seems to have settled back into the moderate pace that we're all familiar with. That would be fine except the finale is just a few episodes away. Surely the frantic action and shocking revelations should continue apace until the end?!
Apparently not, but that's not to say that performances from the lead characters are waning. Michael Hogan (Saul Tigh), James Callis (Gaius Baltar), Tahmoh Penikett (Karl 'Helo' Agathon) and Edward James Olmos (King Conky-Bonky) all put in some emotional performances as they lament the loss of wives, girlfriends, children and battlestars respectively.
I think the twists and turns of recent episodes and the discovery and subsequent abandonment of earth has left the audience as aimless and adrift as the colonial fleet. Let's hope things start to become more focussed next week. Time's running out!
