Yeah, otherwise you've just got a bunch of people on some ships.

Latest episode - "You Can't Go Home Again" was another good episode, I thought. I liked Adama and Apollo's moment at the end - "We'd never leave."

Quite good. And the continuing military/political turf war is great.

I've watched the last few episodes, and it's been decent overall with some good ship scenes. However I can't seem to shake the feeling of Starship Troopers when it comes to the various pilots' storylines etc.

Other than the fact that everybodies hometowns got obliterated, I see absolutly no common themes with Starship Troopers. What are you refering to?

Not that there backstories are the same, but the way they look and act etc.

Hey I have a question, if the Viper MK2 is just as good as the Viper Mk 7 why retire the Mark 2? Because from what we've seen the Mk7 is and MK2 are roughly equal in taking on Cylon Fighters.

Oh and is Apollo's Mk7 the last one left on Galactica? Because to be honest I LOVE the mk 7 design.

P.S> Please no spoilers, as I'm in the states we just got "You Can't Go Home Again."
