Quotes:
Admiral William Adama:
Mr. Lampkin, what are you doing here?
Romo Lampkin:
Writs of forfeiture for the ships you're borrowing. The captains want to be absolved of any blame should anything untoward happen.
[Adama takes the legal papers and examines them]
Romo Lampkin:
One of the less ennobling consequences of a legal culture. No one wants responsibility. Lee said you once gave him something before a mission. A lighter, was it?
[Adama begins signing them]
Admiral William Adama:
Belonged to my father. Foolish to think a hunk of metal could keep him safe.
Romo Lampkin:
And yet, that's what we do, isn't it? Hang on to hope, in every hopelessly irrational way that we can.

Admiral William Adama:

I have to disagree! While I would never say it was 'the best' of episodes, I must say that It was terrific to watch the casts best actors really ply their trade. The intensity of the drama was fascinating. Tigh is such an interesting character and Michael Hogan plays him so well. I hope when the series ends we will see more of him in some interesting roles.
I would like to see some more action, however, as I have been missing the fantastic fleet battles of earlier seasons. I'm expecting the season will be low on action, unfortunately, but leading up to an epic final episode (or two).
