Battlestar Galactica Series 4 - the begining of the end?
Tuesday, 15. April 2008, 22:15:17
Tonight Sky One started Series 4 properly with a double treat of back to back episodes - just to get the juices flowing. Season 4, Episode 1: He That Believeth in Me sees Boltar taking refuge with some crazy religious nutcases and seeingly Boltar doing a "Jesus" like miracle. The final 4 (Who the frack is the 5th?) find themselves coming to terms with the revelation that they are Cylons.
Episode 2: Six of One. Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) face off with a gun between them, Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) says goodbye to the Galactica (What the frack!), violent conflict breaks out between the seven models aboard Cylon Basestar which is fracking mental and has a shocking conclusion, and Gaius Baltar (James Callis) is directly pulled into the "Final Five" situation which what looks to have been a strange encounter with one of the final 4, is he indeed the 5th "Final 5) or is this a red herring from the makers of the show. Somehow I feel the final revelation will be unpredicable and as much of a twist as one now expects from this show.
I hope however that it will not be Admiral Adama who will turn out to be the final 5th member as I think this wouldn't feel riht. There has been much speculation from day one that Adama was in fact a Cylon but somehow it could spoil things. Don't ask me why it is hard to explain.
My final verdict of episodes 1 and 2 is that it has got the juices bubbling and I am already looking forward to the 3rd episode next week, but probably will try and catch the repeats of the first episodes later this week as I feel my BG excitement has been re-awoken!
Thanks SKY ONE you are the best! Why didn't the BBC snatch this great Television?
