BSG Rewatch: Bastille Day

A surprisingly strong episode, pitting new Apollo versus old Apollo in a battle of wits.

The best scene of the episode is when Tom Zarek and Apollo are discussing the call sign, Apollo. The entire episode brings to light Lee's inner conflict between his positions as CAG on Galactica and military liaison to the President. His father speaks of "picking sides", a line that will resonate many episodes later.

It's always fun to see Baltar in awkward situations because of his virtual Six, and the warhead scene is no exception. Not much to say about the Helo/Sharon plot other than some nice atmosphere established in regards to being alone in a huge city (plus some nice commentary courtesy of Aaron Doral).

Overall, a good episode that reminds me of a time when I liked Lee Adama.
