BG Lately

Battlestar Galactica's plot has been moving around a lot lately, just not always forward. Some episodes concentrated on one character or another, while the big picture--fleeing from the Cylons, searching for Earth--seemed to be forgotten.

In an interesting development last week, Baltar sent out writings from jail. He claimed to be a man of the people, and his thoughts were spreading. I admit I didn't see this coming, though it did remind me of a similar development on Babylon 5. (Not that they created the concept. It at least goes back to Martin Luther King.) Unlike the B5 case, Baltar's motives seem to be selfish. (Actually, a number of famed jail-writers did it at least in part to get out.)

This week, however, was a plot about Starbuck, and I have no idea what's going on. Anybody have any clues?
