Battlestar Galactica never ceases to impress.

Tonight's episode was really good.

1. They are all very good

Season 3.0 is just as good as all the others. Next week looks to continue the trend. The writers are amazing on this series. I will listen to the podcast recap early next week while Moore explains more of it.

2. Where do you find the podcast?

3. Why should anybody have to explain a story?

Isn't that what the story is supposed to do on its own? All these followup shows do is confirm the writing for the actual stories is amateurish or inexperienced.

Like the new Dr Who (and Torchwood) series, where there is a followup show where the producer feels he has to explain everything, I found the new BG to be trifling and sopping in character-oriented soap opera with a parallel-to-a-social-situation (inference or otherwise) subtext. All the time is taken up by that drek that anything of a plot has to be pushed to the side. Making a separate program to cover those aspects for every story is just a waste of material.

Do people like these shows because of the character soap opera? The political subtext? Or what?

I'll admit the mini-series had hope, despite a couple of really awful scenes (to have a human president more worried about her health over that of every human she's pledged to protect, she should have been sacked on the spot. And as for the really obvious scene where the humans get needlessly careless with explosives, one has a pratfall, and one of the bombs rolls out to an "oooh-scary commercial break cliffhanger", I'm speechless at the inane stupidity!) But 4 or 5 episodes into season 1, it turned out to really go nowhere (and the blatant ripoff of "Firefly"'s spaceship shots got annoying too...)

IMHO.
