Well I am sure enjoying this season of Battlestar Galactica a hell of a lot more than the last one. I think the show went off the rails last year. Too much interpersonal relationship crap. Too much philosophy. I don't watch sci-fi for that.

If you haven't caught any of this season yet, you might want to look away now.

BG is going out in style with this last season. The fleet has found Earth, only to discover a nuked wasteland. Then they discovered the inhabitants of Earth, the 13th tribe, were Cylons. The four Galactica Cylons have visions that they lived on Cylon Earth, and were there when the nukes started dropping. Starbuck has found her dead body in a wrecked fighter. Is she Cylon? Or isn't she? And, my favorite gay on the show, Felix Gaeta....

has teamed up with Tom Zarek to lead a coup to oust Adama, only to have Adama turn the tables on him. The last we saw poor Felix, he and Zarek were being executed for treason.

Whew! That's a lot of action in only 4 episodes. If last season had been a fraction as good as this one, perhaps there would be more of BG.

I have a suspicion that we're going to find out that it was actually the human 12 tribes who nuked the Cylon Earth 2500 years ago. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass? As they keep saying on the show, "this has all happened before, and it will happen again."
