My memory fails in my old age, but didn’t Jack kill the dude in the CTU interrogation room? 🆒

Keifer must have been sleeping off a bender as he spent most of this episode in the car doing nothing. No Jack pistol, no Jack sack, no Jack torture.

I keep waiting for Starbuck to kick the living shit out of her trailer trash blackmailer. That may be because I keep seeing Starbuck and not whomever she is supposed to be. And the Battlestar Galactica link grows, as Vladimir was formerly the Cylon Leoben. Add in a Heroes link, with Josef, formerly Adam Monroe, being all about filial love here.
