Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A figure from Adama’s past returns to haunt him. His return raises questions about why the Cylons launched their initial attack against the Twelve Colonies.
Our Take
This one leans hard on Adama’s guilt and Eddie Olmos sells it, but Bulldog himself is a thin character the show never makes us care about. The idea that one pilot’s capture triggered the whole genocide feels like a stretch the writers didn’t fully think through. Decent character material, weak premise. Worth watching for Adama alone, just keep expectations modest.
