I never figured that Galactica would produce an episode better than Exodus (part 2). (My opinion, of course) For me, this was simply incredible. The acting, especially by Alessandro Juliani and Richard Hatch as the would-be revolutionaries was intense. Although another reviewer found the actions of the two doubtful, the characters' actions are believable and in-line with how they have been portrayed throughout the series.
Most of the characters on the show despise the very thought of working with the Cylons and although it is valid to suggest that these past two episodes were simply filler and an excuse to kill a couple of the regular characters it was impossible that a suggested alliance with the Cylons would not get some kind of a reaction from the crew.
Zarek and Gaeta, among others, are not evil. They are simply doing what they feel is right for humanity.
On a side note, it's good to see Baltar finally decide to stop running.
That final last meal scene between Gaeta and Baltar is truly stunning, especially knowing that Gaeta is about to be executed for much less than Baltar did.
