Battlestar Galactica 2.16 Sacrifice (2006-02-10)

In the episode, Dee spurns Billy Keikeya and goes on a date with Lee “Apollo” Adama at a bar. An armed group takes control of the bar, demanding the captive Cylon Sharon in return for the lives of their hostages. Lee is badly wounded when Starbuck attempts a rescue. Billy is shot and killed saving Dee just before a team of Marines raids the bar and rescues the remaining hostages.

Good to see the Dana Delany get a role. She does well, but the episode is very formulaic. They do get to kill off a major character, but apart from that it doesn’t move the plot forward.

Critical reaction to “Sacrifice” was lukewarm. Moore discussed his own disappointment with several aspects of the episode in his podcast commentary on the episode.
