Yesterday I Wrote: So, what’s left, and what needs to be done in the last episode: explain why Hera is important; rescue her from Cavil (probably) and provide some indication of how she will lead to a better future for humans and Cylons (alternatively, give us a dark, unhappy ending where she isn’t saved and [...]
Update: My immediate reaction to the final episode is here. With a single, two-hour episode of Battlestar Galactica remaining, I fear it is nearly inevitable that I’ll be left disappointed. Jimmy Akin provides the best explanation I’ve read of how the series got to this point, and how Ronald D. Moore’s writing process is responsible. [...]
This was a very straightforward, enjoyable episode, made up of three parts: (1) introduce and test the new team member, (2) Betsy’s television interview about her abduction and rescue, and (3) a mission to find and kill the man who killed Hector, which also gives us the first chance to see the new member in [...]
Reihan Salam on Hosea of Top Chef: Many moons ago, Hosea mislaid his pork. The gang rallied around and saved his pork, and he won the elimination challenge. And you know who helped rather a lot? Stefan. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the “12 Days of Christmas Episode.” Hosea was throwing [...]
This was a somewhat uneven episode, possibly because it too much going on. There was (1) the main story about looking for the last Nazi, (2) the story about Molly in the fake airplane company office, being confronted by Carson (the “uncle” of Grey’s serious but very short-term girlfriend Joss, aka Switchblade), (3) the story of [...]
UPDATE: March 20, 2009 I’m getting a lot of search traffic for this post today. If you are interested, you might also want to read my discussion of what is left to be explained in the final episode which you can find here. Friday Night’s episode, “No Exit,” went a long way towards assuring me [...]
I’m getting a bunch of hits today from people looking for answers to various Battlestar Galactica questions. They keep hitting my old posts. I presume the interest is based on last night’s episode. My problem is that I haven’t seen last night’s episode, and won’t have a chance to do so until tonight. I’ll try [...]
After a layoff of more thna a month, there will finally be a new episode of The Unit on Sunday night. I write up my entry as soon as I can, but sometimes it takes me a few days.
In a post written just before BSG resumed, Jonathan Last at Galley Slaves managed to list what I think is a good list of 4 questions that the show needs to answer in its last episodes: 1 Where do the humans go? 2 What was the original Cylon plan? 3 Is there a reconciling between [...]
So, I haven’t yet watched the new episode from last night, “The Disquiet That Follows My Soul,” but this is based upon the prior two episodes in which the Colonial Fleet finds Earth, arrives, and then discovers that it was destroyed in a holocaust thousands of years ago. It is clear that Ronald D. Moore [...]
