<\/div>\n

Okay, probably the next to the last guy out there to have not seen the season finale of Battlestar Galactica<\/em>, but finally <\/em>caught it on DVR re-run.<\/p>\n

And … wow.<\/p>\n

Not quite sure what I think — aside from someone went in and knock around a lot of chairs and tables.  This episode had about four or five climaxes (the trial outcome, the jump, the gathering, the attack, the bogey, the final zoom-zoom …<\/p>\n

(And, no, not giving away any details, for that person out there who is the last person to have not seen it.)<\/p>\n

Anyway … hell of a speech by Apollo.  A bit heavy-handed by the prosecution, and a bit rigged of an outcome … but Apollo’s speech really brought home a lot of what I’ve been saying the show is about — the battle to hold onto civilization and values when survival is on the line.<\/p>\n

As for the rest … yowzers. <\/p>\n

Then, again, I thought the climax of Series 2 was pretty yowzers, too … and that was both more structured (if rushed) and a lot more ultimately disappointing.<\/p>\n

Still, and there are times I wouldn’t have said this, I’m jonesing to see how they pull enough rabbits out of the hat to make the summer worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
