After a 9 month absence (thanks to the 2008 writers strike) Battlestar Galactica's 4th season resumes on it's 11th episode, following the mighty mid-season cliffhanger they left us on.May I just say... Fraking Hell. Fraketty Frak Frak. Mother Frakers.
Galactica's a great show but after the high drama of the cliffhanger, and the solid, small scale story of the recent webisodes, I anticipated a slow build up over the course the final 10 episodes.
Nope! No such thing here. Major, major revelations are made here. Characters are pushed to there VERY limits... in some cases over them.
And it's bleak. Many characters are confused, struggling to cope with events. Others are crumbling under the weight of events. And just when you think there a couple of regulars to carry a torch of hope and optimism, the writers rip it from you.
Amazing stuuff. This is Galactica at its best; perhaps the best episode they've done. This is television at its best. Full stop.
