After a year of waiting for the final season of Battlestar Galactica, I couldn’t fully appreciate the episode because I sat next to a BSG Hater who kept dissing the show, sighing at all the right moments and generally being disrespectful at my desire to watch the show. It got to the point where the host of the frak party was telling him to shut up…in the nicest possible way.
At the end, the Hater decided to pull a vote on how weak the episode was. I couldn’t participate because I said you can’t judge a story arc based on one episode. This is the continuation of several story arcs, in fact the middle or beginning of certain story arcs, and all I want is to watch it play out before I cast some kind of vote on weak or strong an episode was. I don’t start calling out my favorite or least favorite episodes until after a season has ended. And I’m not going to judge an entire show or an entire season based on one episode. And this episode was “to be continued” anyway so it’s not fair to judge this even as a single episode. Whatever.
I couldn’t get into it because I was distracted by a hater. From what I saw, however, it looked like the show was again placing the chess pieces across the game board, getting ready to strike with some kind of “oh my goodness!” moment of Battlestar Galactica-calibre awesomeness. I’ll have to catch the episode later to really comment and postulate on it.
To be continued…
