Agreed!

It's interesting how the novelizations can complement the episodes. I remember reading them at the same time the series was on, and I think it helped me appreciate the shows just a little more because even though they weren't exactly the same, it was usually able to go deeper and more thoroughly explain the cylons and other things. In the case of this one, it removed the cheese, and improved it. Though, I'll be honest. I liked the episode. Audrey Landers....
