I disagree.  I think we need to see the lack of the eye sometimes -
esp. since Tigh was revealed as a Cylon.  I thought it added value to
a scene that was kinda in the 'been there, done that' category.

Baltar's scenes were okay.  I think I prefer him as a scheming semi-
villian than I do as a religious prophet - but I'll take what I can
get.  Glad to see Six back.

My favorite scenes were those with the Chief.  His comments to Adama
in the bar were actually quite bang on (as far as how someone
sometimes feels when they are grieving - Cylon or not).  It is common
for people to make an "Angel" of the dead - regardless of what they
were like in life, and sometimes others also grieving can resent
that.  I enjoyed watching the Chief self-destruct.  Funny how Tory is
embracing her inner Cylon and the Chief and Tigh are having a tough
time...

I give it a 3.8....anything after last week's episode is going to pale
in comparison!
