The new BSG is a very over-rated show IMO.



Pfft.. The new BSG is singularly the best show of any genre on TV at the moment IMO.

Go play with your rainstick..

Kara Thrace will lead humanity to its destruction! WTF!!!

Not sure I like where thats heading..



I do... Galactica seems to be heading towards a Blake's 7 style ending where rather than finding Earth and everyone going off happy the entire fleet burns under fire from the Cylon guns, now that would be a good ending from a plot point of view it would be memorable, unexpected and have fans talking about it for years.

And even if it doesnt happen then it certainly indicates that Season 4 will be full of action and suspense something that I feel the show lacked after Exodus Part 2.

I didn't like it too much.

It served its purpose (ie feeding the jones for BSG), but the known facts from S2 were really shoe-horned into the script. The shooting of her XO was just dumb..felt completely unnatural and forced.

Once the er..main character, the girl, got shot, I could have written where the script was going to go. Very, very predictable.

I'd give it about 3 stars out of 5.

well, i disagree - i thought it delivered everything i would want from a long BSG episode and didn't feel any particular moment to be overly forced (maybe a couple of the hair-pieces!).
there are always little bits n pieces in any ep of any show but hell and attempting to reviisit is always gonna be tricky - Sharon had a pretty unecessary bit role - but when you get performances as strong as Forbes and Jacobsen's what does it matter?
and visually just a total FX fiesta!

The hybrid doesn't mention Kara in relation to being a threat to humanity much at all - the initial speech could mean finding earth and the final speech ("They must not follow her") could refer to the splintering of unified Cylon culture (not humanity) into seperate pieces.

Totally.

Honestly, I liked it because I had no real idea what it meant. For me, when you nail something down on the new BSG down too precisely, it doesn't make sense. I'm hoping they do something great for the finale, but as far as new, space-based SF is concerned, I'm goin' SGA.

It was Steve Bacic. He gets shot in almost everything (I can only think of two roles where he hasn't been killed, and one of those just started a few weeks ago).

I felt that moment was perfect- she knew him well enough to know he wouldn't change his mind, and he didn't know her well enough to see it coming.
Caine was a cold b**ch.
