10 Most Hated Battlestar Galactica Episodes

4. A Day In The Life - Season 3, Episode 15

Battlestar Galactica The Passage

An attempt at an Adama character episode as he celebrates his wedding anniversary, it sadly comes across as bland filler.

On this day, Adama pulls a wedding photo from a drawer and reflects upon his lost ex-wife, Carolanne. We are shown their history through a flashback device that takes the form of a conversation in the present between Adama and his ex-wife. Unfortunately it doesn't work. First, we already have imagined conversations between Baltar and Six, so these come off as unoriginal. Second, the story is riddled with clichés as Adama is shown to be the typical military man unable to make his marriage work due to his dedication to duty.

Meanwhile, Tyrol and Cally get locked in a damaged airlock with the oxygen leaking into space in a halfhearted attempt to add some suspense. If everybody had solid character material, the episode would not have required this crisis.

A true day in the life should have focused more on all the characters' daily routines. Regrettably, a large part of the cast are omitted from the proceedings making this a day that falls way short.
