From the “Well-Duh” Category: Sci-Fi channel has proven they aren’t ALL complete boobs (the idiots who canned Farscape excepted of course) and have renewed their latest hit, Battlestar Galactica for another season.
No mean feat considering only five episodes have aired.
I think we had much of the discussion last week, owing to the fact that the Brits have already watched the first season, and the Americans are one week ahead of the Canucks– whose country, curiously, provides the show’s locations.
Anyway, the acting remains strong in Part 2, but the writing grows weaker.
The public learns that Cylons can look like them, and the result is a tense, suspenseful episode that raises a number of questions.
Number Six appears on board the Galactica– and she’s not a hallucination (or implant, or whatever Baltar has been seeing).
Starbuck interrogates a Cylon; Baltar tests the Cylon detector.
The tests for human-seeming Cylons begins, just as Adama starts behaving suspiciously and Colonel Tigh’s troubled and troublesome wife surfaces.
The Galactica finds much-needed fuel– but the Cylons already have a refinery there.
Update: if, like y42, you’ve been carefully avoiding a certain much-discussed spoiler, perhaps don’t read the yodapez18 posting.
Tensions mount when Zarak gets elected to the Council of the Twelve, and an assassin gets uncovered who may or may not be connected to the one-time terrorist leader.
Meanwhile, on Caprica, Helo and Boomer reach their goal, only to make a startling discovery. and it’s about bloody time, too
The Galactica finds the lost planet of Kobol– and several new problems.
Season One ends with a bang.
