Wow...Just caught episode 13 which is the season finale for this new refited television show. I can honestly say that I was not really all that hyped when I heard about the mini series they were releasing for Battlestar, but I ended up watching it anyways and thank god for that.
Then I heard that since the mini was so successful they were going ahead and giving it a weekly televised run. To my surprise I discovered that the show was already airing in the UK and I immediately began downloading them.
Funny...The season has already finished airing there and here in North America we are on what? Episode 2 or 3?
Anyways the two part final was awesome...Very tense and theres a great little surprise at the end of the final episode..Well I don't know if great is the right word...But it was an awesome way to close off the season. I will most definitely be back for season 2 and you can bank on the fact that I will be picking it up on DVD as well.
Its the grittiness of the whole thing. Its wonderfully fun sci-fi but yet at the same time somehow the writers manage to bring the show to a human level and give us the viewers something that we can really relate to. Obviously we aren't being chased around by Cylons, but the interactions of the characters in this show bring things down to a base human experience and present to us stories that are actually very relevant to where we are as a human race today.
Anyways...I'm sad that I have finished this first season, but look very very forward to seeing what is in store for us come season 2.
Now get the frak outta here!
