I've got a longer piece that'll probably go up tomorrow. I agree that Tigh coming out to Adama was well done (and won back the goodwill he'd lost with me after taking up with Six - I'm actually at the point where Tigh is the only member of the main cast I like, which is quite mind-boggling when you think about it) but I could have lived very happily without Adama's breakdown.
I don't know if you were deliberately referencing The Matrix with that comment about an architect, but my impression of where the show is headed is that humanity and the Cylons have been cycling through this story for millennia - one of them destroys the other, and sends their remnants on a quest for Earth/Kobol, where they establish an empire and prosper until the whole thing happens again. Not sure how much sense that makes, but then this is BSG.
Well, I enjoyed them at the time, but I'm not sure I'd recommend them to anyone now ... especially the particular books I'm thinking of, which are the ones where he tries to link the Robot novels and the Foundation novels

Interesting episode. This season has been all over the place in terms of pacing, plotting and characterisation however it's still managed to be more consistent and entertaining than season 3 so far. That said, I really disliked the intensely rushed episode a couple of weeks ago in which Lee became Prez, but last week's and this week's instalments have won me back over a little.
I'm quite pleased with the post-apocalyptic Earth as it's a hell of a lot better an option than past or contemporary Earth (unless they actually did 1980 complete with hairstyles, which would be ace). The real question is where can it possibly go from here? On that front your speculation is definitely not out of the question, although we do have a whole half a season to kill.

No, I was thinking of R. Daneel Olivaw, mostly. :)
