What a rubbish episode, honestly I was doing my work which incredible boring instead of watching this.
We have what eight set up episodes in a row and non about the metal cylons new found freedoms, non about the angles, nothing on a new world, no answers, I would even of settle some decent flash backs of the ff or even of cylons when they were attacking the colony and what there plans were, okay I forgot they saving that for another tv movie, when it should just be part of the tv series.
The flash backs could been done anytime in the last four years and serve no purpose what so ever in this ep or telling any more of the story in fact you probably skip all of them and still not of missed anything important.
The discovery of colony should of happen in the first 10 minutes with the rest being base preparations and making the decision of whether to join the attack, it would of been interesting if the tin heads were also give a choice on whether to help in the rescue mission or protect the fleet. In fact what the frack going on with the tin heads we have not heard anything from them what a wast.
Roslin should of died at least 2 episodes ago, her story is needlessly being drag out.
Baltar will someone just shoot him in the head, I bored with his character I mean does he actually ever do anything useful.
I agree with Babylon 5 being an example of how you do a perfect serial, BSG is how you do not do it. And Lost is an other example of how you do it. In fact I would love if it was J. Michael Straczynski was in charge of the series at least I confident that we would awesome space battles and action scenes with a good story to boot.
To me if his character does not cross the line on his own or end up on the mission somehow, may be someone will force him to go knowing the fleet will be better off without him then he been a wasted character part of a wasted last ten episodes.
morjana shame I cannot get it , it might solve my bout insomnia I been having for the past few weeks.

I can honestly say I've been extremely disappointed with these last nine episodes. I thought they were going to go all out with the final ten...instead they just keep teasing us with little tidbits but never following up on them. I keep on thinking about Babylon 5 vs. Battlestar Galactica when I think about how the show would end. With B5 there was never really a feeling like "this is so convuluted" from day 1 through to the final day, everything fell into place, even considering that season 5 felt a little stretched but that wasn't JMS's fault. By the time you saw the final scenes of B5, you knew it was over. You could look back on the past five years and say "it was worth it, it all made sense." Not so with BSG. Granted, JMS wrote one and a half seasons all by himself, but with something like B5, and I would put BSG in that same category, when it comes to the writing you have to be that structured or it will fall apart like it is now (anyone remember the X-Files).
With BSG, the failure to plan anything ahead of time is finally rearing its ugly head and proves that, with a heavily serialized show you need to plan ahead at least for the whole season rather than write "on the seat of your pants." Remember seasons 3-4 of B5? Almost no episode was wasted across two seasons of that show. When B5 hit the meat of its story, which is season's 3-4, after the buildup with 1-2, you rarely ever got done with an episode and thought "how does this forward the story?"
In an episodic series like Star Trek, I can accept that if there's five episode left, a few of them might be stinkers, because its episodic and not meant to form one cohesive story. Even Stargate I can accept that the next to last episode might not be a crowd pleaser, but in a TV show like BSG its IMHO unacceptable.
Maybe I'm over-reacting, but I look back on the past nine episodes and I feel really underwhelmed. Maybe the finale will prove me wrong and will answer all those burning questions that we still have. I'm praying that it'll end the way Frascape ended, with an awesome finale/miniseries that did the best it could to conclude a series that was canceled prematurely. I've been watching since season 1, so I might as well stick around for the finale, if anything out of curiosity to see how it all ends.
That's not to say that I didn't like these episodes, just that when I look at what's come before as far as what we've had in sci-fi series, they could have been so much better. R

Did anyone else notice Gaius in that scene? It seemed to me as if he was struggling to decided whether or not to go. I think he's actually changed.
morjana shame I cannot get it , it might solve my bout insomnia I been having for the past few weeks.

Just 2 eps to go.
