It´s the greatest thing on TV right now.
Well, as i live in Germany, i don´t even watch it on TV, but rather download the latest available episode.
This method has the great advantage that i can simply watch it when there´s time for it.
I am so hooked to this show it is starting to terrify me.

Ok, I have to admit: I have not enjoyed post-New Caprica season 3 (except for the episode with the secret tribunal). It's starting to feel like just another sci-fi show.

We need more Chief! We need more naked Number Six!

BSG! You are losing your way!

How many hours do sci-fi fans have in a day? 88?

The episode before last reminded me of Minority Report, why do psychics hang out in the bath tub all the time? Well, I guess the hybrid wasn't really a psychic... anyway.

So.....

Who's seen the most recent episode? Thoughts? I have a few.

That Starbuck is one of the final five? This last episode was pretty good, excellent in comparison to the sub-par garbage they've been stuffing down our craw. This seems to happen every season though, they have these middling episodes right before the end of the season when everything gets awesome.

Yeah, that Helo vs. the racist doctor episode really blew hard, and "Chief and Cally are trapped in the airlock!" wasn't so hot either. I was into the strike episode from last week, though. But overall, i've been pissed that they're dicking around so long waiting for Baltar's trial.

I think Starbuck's a Final Fiver, but i don't think the Final Five are cylons the way we understand them right now. Since they've been dropping hints about cylon and human religions intersecting, i'm guessing that the Final Five are somehow both human and cylon (and probably relate to Hera somehow). There's a race of noncorporeal "evolved beings" called "Seraphs" from the original series that i'm betting they start to incorporate, since they've been lifting a lot of plot points from the original series (the original series had a Pegasus and an Admiral Cain, Baltar went from betraying the humans to living with the Cylons to being imprisoned in the original, there was a pilot named Athena, etc. etc.).

yeah seasons 1-2.5 = greatest sci fi 2 year stretch of all time

season 3 has been like OMG this is boring

The Leoban / non-Leoban bit really pulled the needle off the record. WTF. They spend all that time setting it up, and then what? To invalidate it in the last scene? BS.

There's been speculation that her whole hallucination/vision/whatever in this last episode was similar to Baltar's Chip in the head/Angel of God Six conversations. I dunno.
