good show, nothing like the 70’s kiddie crap that spawned it. It is dark and very adult........it has only 7 episodes left in the series, so if your interested I recommend catching up.

I caught up actually. The 12th Cylon doesn’t interest me though.

My personal rating, not worth very much :0)

(No spoilers, obfuscation used).

Up to the end of the end of Season 1, I think BS was at least an 9 in 10. Top rate, tense plotting in every episode.

Up to the end of the end of the ‘female Admiral arc’ I give BS an 8 in 10. Some tedious stuff, but mostly compelling drama.

Boots on the ground on NC. I got a terrible sinking feeling. Dull plots ripped from the headlines. Felt like “Iraq in space, but we’re the Muslims” if that makes any sense.

After that, right up to SE04 E10 ... no more than a 4 in 10.

The discovery scenes late in SE03 - I would be ashamed of including a ‘twist’ that lame and forced in anything I wrote.

And with a few very notable exceptions (Apollo at the trial scene and some snappy dialog between Roslyn and Adama) the dialog has been very flat.

Nice SE04 scene with Tory in the evac tube though: a real standout scene, which just pointed out the low dramatic quotient of the rest.

Just my opinion, others can disagree without prejudice.
