Robert, I couldn't disagree more on S2. Nothing in S3 has approached the stuff that happened which Pegasus which was possibly the shows apex. For me the New Caprica stuff was different but up to par. The rest of the season has been below that level. The show just wasn't captivating must see...

BSG is still a good show but for me Heroes is currently the best show on TV.

The show had imperfect flawed humans like Tigh and Starbuck who were still able to do good things for their fellow man. Now that they are Cylons those achievements just become additions to Cylon achievement. I also want to see where this is going to go next season as I have invested time in...

Which was a brilliant series of seven books with a final chapter that was absolute cop out and decidedly unsatisfying.

I remember reading back before either the series or the mini-series that 2 of the basic tenets he was going to use where: 1. There will be no aliens. Its BSG not ST. 2. They will never get to Earth. Otherwise you get BSG 1980. Seems he's going there though. If he's not doing an ancient...

The trial played out as expected apart from the way Adama voted and wasn't really compelling. I don't like the idea that we have more major characters that look like being Cylons. That means that all of the Cylon models managed to survive the original attack in a fleet that small. The odds...

Can we presume that since we have seen no evidence of the "death order" like the document itself that it was lost during the evacuation and all they have is eye witness accounts of the document? If the document existed and presented during the trial there would be no point in trying to discredit...

A show has to live or die by whats shown on screen and not what RDM explains in a podcast. He should know this. I'd like to second whoever mentioned that the boxing episode was where things went into creative free fall. One of my buddies has the picture of the fonz jumping the shark as his...

I guess Roslin could be faking it because they need the scriptures and Earth's existence to be true to give them all hope. Cottle could easily confirm or deny her claim but I doubt Adama would let anyone question him.

It's a retcon because it comes out of nowhere. The viewer had no reason to doubt the deus ex machina that was used to cure her in the first place. Now it's revealed at the most dramatic moment that her cancer is back just to give the character a way of saving face after she has been exposed on...

I remember Tyrol walking through the hanger and the trial on the radio but not him hearing music.

Roslin's cancer returning does fit in with the mythos of the show but with no foreshadowing it's a definite retcon. Just more evidence about how poorly executed and disjointed this season has been.

A fascist state needs a dictator so it really all depends how we see Roslin since Adama is not part of the government.

Maybe I'm just distrustful but I would completely expect any room Adama expected Baltar and his lawyer to be in would be bugged. With his capture and subsequent torture they showed that Baltar only has the civil rights they grant him. I have agreed with everything Mark has said about the...

Last night seemed like more poor execution and missed opportunities. If this disconnect RM seems to be having with his audience continues my expectations for a 4th season and any sort of resolution will continue to slide.

Last nights episode was a lot better than Maelstrom but it still lacked the punch of previous seasons. Without any sign of the Cylons the show is just a soap opera at the moment. So "That Guy" was bombing Baltars lawyers because Baltar loves Cylons more than humans. Right. It would have made...

I didn't like the episode and felt it was a poor way to kill off an important character. I don't quite think the series has jumped the shark yet as a friend does but it's been sliding since New Caprica. I get the feeling RM killed Starbuck just to prove to the fans that he can do what he wants...

Unsatisfying is right on the money for last night. I hope theres a point to that. Maybe RM was just trying to prove that he can kill Starbuck off if he wants to.

Didn't Adama argue early in the series that he didn't want to impose martial law? It's unclear since New Caprica if things have changed on that front.

At the start of the episode the refinery workers complaints are dismissed by both Adama and the President because everyone else in the fleet has hard work and poor conditions. In fact they seem to think the complaints are bizarre since they are on the run from the Cylons. To me it played out...

If RM had no plan for what he was going to do post New Caprica then it's showing through.

Wasn't Baltar's capture a secret? So at what point did the rest of the fleet find out he was on Galactica? It might have been announced when they decided he was going to have a trial but I don't think we saw anything. I guess were just supposed to assume the fleet found out before his book was...

I liked this episode more than the other recent stand alones. It dealt with something thats been a potential issue since the day of the attacks and gave us some further insights into Tyrol and Baltar. Baltars part in the discord is interesting as he has a similar past to some of the workers but...

How about a character driven episode that focuses on Baltar and perhaps something from before he met six that made him the person he is or about he and six on Caprica that may show us more about what he knew or didn't know? If it tied in to the start of the war or the development of the Cylons...

The show has suffered in the last few episodes from Baltar not being seen and the Cylons going missing. We have gone from having separate stories in a Base Star to nothing. No news, no raids, nothing but Athena and Six on Galactica. The point that was raised about B5 mixing the macro and...

There has been some discussion of Baltar by third parties in the last few episode s but if the main arc and focus is now getting to Earth that has been missing.

I understand that but I just don't like the balance or some of the execution. The story seems to have really lost direction and focus. Whats happening with Baltar himself, or the Cylons or the search for Earth? The focus the story had before New Caprica hasn't been there since IMO. I did like...

Bored now. I'm not a fan of the stand alone episodes and this was another one where the pacing was deathly slow. I'm really starting to miss the show that BSG was in its first season where it was tight, urgent and action packed. It used to be must see TV but it's really slipped from that mantle...

The first season with it's 13 episode count and really tight writing is what hooked me on the show. Since it went to 20 episodes the writing just isn't as tight IMO.

Baltar could of easily just been hamming it up for the camera he knew was there though. If Gaeta did let his guard down and engage in any of the activities we saw Batlar in you can be certain that Baltar remembers and is reminding him.
