Everyone in the world knows my love for Battlestar Galactica. There’s no way I’d ever miss an episode, especially not in this fourth and final season. In fact, I took vacation on the weekend that BSG was not showing new episodes. Thanks for that little break, Sci-Fi Channel! Last night, however, the episodes were back and in full force. Last night’s episode was action packed and full of surprises. First off, how is nasty, smelly old Tigh going to get beautiful, amazing, wonderful Six (played by the most beautiful woman in the world, Tricia Helfer) pregnant? I cannot possibly figure out why they would even get the ball rolling in that direction. Couldn’t they just have said that Doc found some semen or something? That would make more sense.

The great thing is that Lee is now interim President. He’s going to do a great job, and his bono-lookalike lawyer friend Romo was definitely spot-on with that observation. I like the lengths that he went to in order to get him to see it, too. I’m also glad that Admiral Adama is finally admitting how he feels about Laura. That should make for some interesting times when she gets rescued.

One thing I didn’t like was in the previews for next week they show Deanna saying “How do you not know about the five when you’re one of them,” then cutting to a picture of Laura looking surprised. It’s obviously creative editing on BSG’s part but it irritates me that they want you to think that. It’s so not her. She’s not the last.

All in all? The last two episodes have been much better than the few before that, and next week’s is promising, that little editing spoof notwithstanding.
