Battlestar is back

So Battlestar Galactica returns for season four tonight. Now, I think BSG jumped the shark towards the end of season two, and that the season two finale was a travesty. As evidence I'll offer that they spent most of season three meticulously undoing everything that had happened in the finale, and the rest of the time was spent on new stupid stuff.

At any rate, the last season starts tonight and heck, what else am I gonna watch? Lost is on hiatus anyway. Here's a fantastic 8:18 recap video if you need some refreshing on what the frak is going on.



Has anybody seen anything official on the speculation that this season will be split into two halves due to the writers strike? And when do we get to call bullshit on that? If 10 episodes air in 2008 and 10 more air in 2009, that's two 10 episode seasons damnit. A four-six week "hiatus" I'll accept. If it's longer than that then it's two seasons.

Wow, amazing recap (especially for someone who bailed on the series after just a couple of episodes).

The first season was some great television. I wasn't thrilled by the mini-series but the first season itself I really enjoyed. The second season is pretty uneven - it had some great stories but it also had some really dubious episodes. Season three was pretty miserable in my opinion. We'll see what season four brings.
