2.5 stars (Dance of the Seven Veils)

Yeah, I'm late on this one, but doing it anyway.

It wasn't as entertaining as the previous episode
perhaps because I'm sick of Kara Thrace and just
want her to die.  There was a brief glimmer of hope
for this aim, but then...nope...Roslin missed.

I thought maybe Roslin meant to miss until she and Bill
had a conversation later about trusting Mancow.  It was
point blank range. How could Roslin miss? That was
just dumb.

But see there was this symbolism. When Roslin missed,
she hit the framed photo of herself and Bill right
between the two figures and which shattered the glass.
This allowed foreshadowing of the scene later with her
and Bill squabbling. It was ****pper heaven.

Once again an episode started promising with Dean
Stockwell. The writers finally learned about exposition
to set up a story (even if it was inconsistent with
previous episodes). Then it tanked into ****pper heaven
and illogic. Even the Cylons were confused. "Say what?"

Although I have to admit, I think the toast to
"absent friends" diverted me into "Rocky Horror Show"
callback mode.

I was cheering the Centurions at the end. The only
thing that would have been better would have been
if it had been the "By your command" model doing
the shooting.

Also the actors mumbling was really bad this episode.
If they weren't mumbling, they were screaming or hissing
making it all but impossible to figure out what they
were saying.  Was the dialogue that bad that the
actors decided not to enunciate?
