Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Tigh has to work with Lee to defeat a Cylon boarding party that threatens to take over Galactica and destroy the fleet.

Our Take

A tense, claustrophobic hour that keeps the screws tight from start to finish, trading last week’s chaos for a slow crawl through darkened corridors. Tigh and Lee make a surprisingly good pairing, and the Cylon threat feels genuinely dangerous instead of routine. It’s mostly setup for the next episode, but it’s gripping setup, and well worth your time.
