One of the things I loved the most about this episode was the dark and scary process of chasing some homicidal Terminator-esque cyborgs down darkened corridors, following the screaming.

I think it's brilliant. The last stand at the end. They're just waiting. Waiting for these implacable death-machines, and only seeing this bare metal corridor. Cylon Centurions really can be bloody scary! It reminded me of the scene from "Aliens" where they're all holed up, watching the motion tracker, wondering where the hell the aliens are. And then the sudden, brutal assault.

Old episode, but a frakking good one. Pity it was fairly one-off, I doubt we'll see another Cylon boarding action, other than the more limited one in Razor.

Now when I think about it, I have to agree that it was a very dark episode. All what was missing was Ripley but maybe even better 'cause with her this show would end too soon :)
I also liked this episode for the climat it has.
