The final showdown for the survival of the human and Cylon races has begun with the main aim being that of finding the destination for the fleet. Ultimately it's up to Starbuck to lead the fleet to safety - what will be the outcome? Where will they end up?
I really enjoyed the first two seasons of Battlestar Galactica but the final two have been somewhat lacklustre. Substance has been replaced by style and emptiness: twists for twists' sake, changes of characters for the worse, plot developments that seem contrived and inconsistent, mind-bendy nonsense, empty sentimentality and generally and quite a lot of filler. There have been some great episodes that pulls the show back on course but these were the exception rather than the norm
This episode contains all the things that made Season 4 (and much of Season 3 too) such a chore: the random detours, twists for twists' sake, empty sentimentality and lots of filler. This episode really only has about 15 minutes of substance, the rest is just nothingness. At one point I felt this would be a perfect place to end the series, only to notice there was still about 25 minutes left! Even after the filler we then had another attempt at a twist!
At least it's over, at last.
