Battlestar Galactica (Season 4 Episode 11)
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I get a great notion
To jump into the river an’ drown
Its been almost a week since the first episode in the second part of season 4 aired so I had some time to think about it.
Overall I loved the episode. It was one of the darkest episodes of BSG ever. The heavy mood of lost hope was brilliantly filmed.
The plot did not progress much but the bits of information we got were really shocking, yet expected (13th Colony being Cylon).
The biggest revelation of the night happened in the very last scene, where we found out that Elen is the 12th cylon (or the fifth of final five). At first I was unimpressed. Why her!? I don't even like her character. She was annoying in season 1 and I didn't care for her much in later episodes.
After few days of reflecting on it however I am starting to feel that she does fit. I don't know where the story will go but I predict that Cavil knows Elen is a cylon and that is partially why he doesn't want the others to know anything about the 5. I could of course be horribly wrong.
Can't wait for next episode.
4.99/5
Lost (Season 5 Episode 1)
I must say that I am a bit unimpressed with the Lost's time traveling island story. It seems that every time a show starts to play with time travel it ends up being a mess.
I hope I am wrong but I already see logic holes in the story which bothers me.
Don't get me wrong over all the premiere episode was good. Hugo was funny as always and my wife liked Sawyer running around the jungle with his shirt off *raised eyebrow*. It looks like the producers of the show finally know where the story is going which means that hopefully they will start answering some questions.
4/5
If you are wondering why there has been very little activity on this blog lately, the answer is simple. Battlestar Galactica.
The new episodes start this Friday and I have been re-watching the series in order to prepare myself for the new things!
Few things come to mind when I look back at my re-watching experience.
- This is the best show ever. I forgot that a bit since it's been so long since I watched it last.
- There is tons of things that I missed on my first watching, that the second time around made more clear.
- I may be addicted to all things Galactica.
- I think this is the most "religion" themed show on TV right now.
