A nice premiere. Really, it's great to have BSG back period after a drought of over a year.
The intro battle was some great CGI and I liked the ironies and undertones between the revealed 4 and everyone else as well as the mystery surrounding Starbuck.
Some parts were slow though, especially the Baltar storyline. I'm really over having women fawn over Baltar. Meh. Was the guy who assaulted Baltar in the bathroom the resistance guy who played Ladon on SGA? I couldn't tell for sure.
I had two questions that didn't get answered on the TWOP boards:
1) How did Starbuck know where to find Roslin in the end? Was it common knowledge that the president was bunking in Adama's quarters (pardon my squee)? Are we to assume that she found her way in a cutscene? Or is the whole scene with Kara, Roslin, and the gun some kind of daydream like Tigh shooting Adama?
2) Starbuck winced and grabbed her head right after the fleet jumped, presumably moving them further from Earth. Roslin had a similar reaction after they jumped toward the end of Crossroads 2. Are these reactions related?
