Grousing about Battlestar

[cyrano]

So I was going to talk

I could have sworn that I'd read somebody talking about Ron Moore pulling another classic "What the Fuck" moment and people's heads exploding and stuff.
I'm now fairly convinced that I just dreamed that, because... wow. What a mediocre 'who cares' cliffhanger. I realize that nobody promised that the Fifth Cylon would be revealed before the break, but throw me a fuckin' bone here. If your big reveal is 'Earth is a postapocalyptic wasteland' then at least give me a half-buried Statue of Liberty or.... something. I liked the peaceful resolution of the Caprican Standoff, but pretty much the whole episode was a disappointment.
The previous episode, The Hub, at least had some semi-interesting bits about mortality and everything has an end and stuff, but there's been way too much manufactured conflict and... wasted potential.

I'm watching on scifi.com, so I'm not hep to schedule issues. I didn't realize this week's was a hiatus ep. Did they say when it would be back?

Also, I don't know how anyone could have _not_ seen the post-apocalyptic Earth thing coming. God trying to get both the Cylons and the humans to understand what will happen if they continue their warring ways, have to learn to work together, blahblahblah.

With the particular wording they used, I got the impression that the fifth cylon was already on the base star when Deanna went over to Galactica (i.e. Baltar or Pres maybe?).

Um. They may well have said when they'll resume, but given that it took me nearly two weeks to get around to watching this one, it will likely not surprise you that I haven't gone to the website for the latest reports. (:

And yeah, the abrupt switch from talking about 'the Five' to talking about 'the Four' led me to believe that either Deanna had something up her sleeve or the writers just decided that nobody'd notice if we put that revelation off until later. I was just wondering why nobody in the Colonial Fleet said anything.

Between the fact filming got fux0red by the writer's strike, and the SFC's completely insane concept of scheduling, we won't get the second half of the season until January 2009.
