Just a few random thoughts on "Resistance".

I'm honestly surprised that Roslin seemed shocked that Zarek would be helping them out. The moment Lee said, "I have a solution but you're not going to like it", I came to that conclusion even if I hadn't seen Richard Hatch's name in the credits. I'll buy into the "faith in Lee" argument in that she didn't press for the details right away, but once they were in the shuttle, I would think she would find out WTF his plans were.

As for Billy, it would have been more plausible for me if he had waited to part company until they docked on Cloud 9. Staying on the Galatica is the surest way to jail time and, well, a pretty intensen interrogation. Granted, he's got a few guards on his side, but Adama (or someone) will grill him for information.

Speaking of Adama... Most people seemed to balk at his softer treatment/forgiveness of Tigh. I think that Doc Cottle gave Adama the lowdown while in the MedBay and he had time to get pissed and then cool off. Berating Tigh for fucking up so badly wasn't going to do much good, especially with Tigh freely admitted to it, and I think he realizes that he needs Tigh to help put things back together. There may also be a difference between accepting what had happened and forgiving him for doing it. Perhaps Adama is feeling guilty about putting Tigh in the position of command in the first place. At least, that's my two cents.

Still, another great ep even with the professional Pyramid players;)
