Tigh's going to survive, but he's going to be worse than ever. He is also going to hate Anders, Starbuck's husband, for forcing him into the position to kill Ellen, whose situation aroused a great deal of sympathy for me. It was really untenable: save the man you love or let him die. She was never supposed to be a very smart woman (as evidenced by that episode where Apollo was in a bar that was taken over by the Cylon sympathizers). It was a tragic end, but also I'm kind of glad the character was gone because she was a total drag on Tigh while aboard ship.
Richard Hatch's character is Tom Zarek, not Derrick, btw.
One of my major complaints about "Lost" is that the characters act like plot points, not humans. The humans in BG act and react like humans. How is it that a story set on a FTL ship in space being pursued by religious zealot cyborgs is infinitely more believable than plane crash survivors on a deserted island? It's respect shown by the writers for their characters in the consistent and evolutionary behaviors of those characters. BG is on a natural progression, not the spinning wheels or pile-on mysteries of "Lost".
