There was a nice little civil war shaping up on this week's episode. Gaeta and his merry band of mutineers break Zarek out of prison and off Galactica. There is violence against Cylons, and they lock up Anders, Sharon, and her baby.
When Lee tries to interfere, they threaten to kill him, but Starbuck shoots the bad guys. Nice. This is where the action really picked up. There's a mother-frakking mutiny in the CIC, with Gaeta removing Admiral Adama and arresting him for treason. Meanwhile, Lee and Starbuck make their way through the ship and all the gunfire. They get the President so she can address people and hopefully calm them all down.
Adama and Tigh kick the asses of the Marines leading them to the brig and hook up with Starbuck and Lee. They get the President off Galactica and then the rest of them stay on board to kick mutineer ass. Gaeta orders the President's Raptor shot out of the sky. OH HOLY CRAP!
The episode ends with Tigh and Adama facing down an invading squad of Marines, and certain death with a grenade, which I hope was just a flash bang grenade. Looks like it was, though the preview for next week said Tigh was dead and Adama's about to be airlocked.
Lots of kickass action in this one, and not too much of the usual depressing bollocks. Yay!
