Battlestar Galactica Review: Torn

The SciFi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" delivers another episode full of interesting plot bits for fans to mull over. In this first half of another two part episode, we see Tigh and Kara wallowing in their post-New Caprica lives. Without Cylon collaborators to punish after Roslin's general pardon, they turn their anger toward other Galactica crew members who they deem didn't share in their suffering during the occupation. That doesn't go over so well with Adama.

The Cylons, on the other hand, have a big problem of their own. A Basestar is infected with a mysterious virus that ravages the ship and its crew. Meanwhile, Baltar tries to make himself useful so the Cylons will be inspired to let him continue breathing a few days longer. Some key questions are raised - including whether or not Baltar is one of the "Final Five" Cylon models!
