However, while he's aboard, the prisoners take control of their ship, and Lee is taken hostage by their leader, the notorious revolutionary Tom Zarek.

I had forgotten that Cally bit someone's ear off in Bastille Day.

I never really liked Richard Hatch's character that much in NuBSG but I was glad he was involved in the reboot.

I hated his character in it. Too back we did not also get at Dirk Benedict character too.

I watched both of these today. I don't understand why they had to have this thing with the prisoners when they are still trying to deal with survival. I do not care for Hatch's character at all on the reboot. That accident with the missile was a shame. Just what they needed. Baltar is starting to sweat again. Some tidbits of info in the second ep.

The prisoners were being recruited as labor to help mine the ice from the moon. The whole question of what to do with lawbreakers did need to be addressed.

And even without the accident they needed to start recruiting from the fleet to get Galactica back to full crew.

It just felt a little stand alone ep for me. I understand the writing of it, but I think that it was out of place for me.
