Previewing Battlestar Galactica


Unfortunately I have not been able to watch any television lately let alone write anything, the Gnarls Barkley review I wrote last Monday was the last I had time to do so. So instead of accepting the screener for the first episode of the last season of Battlestar Galactica, the good people at the Sci-Fi Channel, like Courtney, were kind enough to send my copy to Jo, who could definitely do a better job hyping the premiere, which you can see on April 4 at 10, than I could. And here is what she has to say about it (anyone else interested in doing a guest post, shout me a holla):

Battlestar Galactica amazes me. Every season has ended in jaw dropping fashion- last season especially. And the beginning of the final season promises a whole new direction. This episode is just the tip of the iceberg and I refuse to ruin it for you with spoilers.

The great news:
Starbuck is back!
No season can begin or end with the giant battle scene.
More Anders this year!

Some things haven't changed.....
- Gaius is still a slimy weasel. He gets whisked off to a cult dedicated to himself, so you know that'll take him about 3 seconds to learn to love. I wonder how long it will take him to manipulate them. Honestly, Caprica Six has more of a soul than him.
- Helo is still the open minded one while Roslin's first instinct is AIRLOCK! This is why I love both of them.
- Those that love and trust Starbuck still do, despite the evidence pointing to the weird and the unexplained.

Some things are very different....
- Starbuck doesn't seem to be all right in the head...and not in the usual Starbuck way.
- The four new cylons will probably take different paths through their upcoming identity crises. That's my personal guess.
- Apollo! Oooh Apollo. I'm very eager to see Apollo's new civilian take on life.

  1. Huh. On one hand, free pizza. On the other hand, you have to say "frakking" in public. Do we get free pizzas for wearing signs saying "I am a huge nerd"? Because I pretty much should have been getting pizza for free for life at this point....

  2. Well you could have called it in. And the thing about saying "fracking" the people wouls have to know BSG to know that it is nerd related. For me, free pizza is free pizza.
