Has Battlestar Galactica Lost Its Way?
The following article contains spoilers for up to episode 4.05 of Battlestar Galactica.
Coming into the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica, I had high hopes. The sublime season finale, and standard of the season which preceded it offered a great deal of excitement and promise for the final year. However, five weeks in, and I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.
If this were any year other than the closing season, the negative aspects of the last few weeks could probably be over-looked. After all, it’s not that the show is bad; far from it. Galactica remains, behind ‘Dexter’, one of my favourite shows on television. The acting is still top-notch, as is the style of production and the intensity of performance on the screen. So where’s it gone wrong?
