Who's been catching season 4 of Battlestar Galactica lately?
I'm a HUGE bsg fan, and I've been a solid devotee for the past three seasons. I even felt those episodes that went off story were very enjoyable just for the sake of getting into the world.
Maybe it's because of the delay with razor and the delay with the writer strike, but I've just been losing a bit of interest. Or perhaps it's just that I'm right, and this season isn't very strong. I'm still watching. After 3 seasons I'm not going to suddenly stop for some poorly written episodes, but I dunno, just doesn't have what the other seasons had IMO. Plus I wasn't a fan of Razor, what a waste of time for them to spend on it. However it might have helped with the writers strike. Dunno.
I think they need some sort of huge story arc to really push this season, and maybe it's a bit early on, but it's really lacking something. All the other seasons (which Im' also re-watching with my sister), have really had me on the edge of my seat. This one not so much. It's like each episodes something does happen, but nothing I care too much about.
SPOILERS
I suppose a lot has happened. Starbuck heading to find earth, Calli dying, the cylon civil war (which is just... weird, dunno, would have hoped for more 'war'), and then baltar... just being weird. But I don't care for Baltar's cult too much, and the last episode felt like NOTHING happened. Colonel Tye sees his dead Ex wife and Lee (who's become a really boring character) passed some law. Exciting! Have we seen any real shooting since the first episode!? Sure, some hits, and explosions, and BSG is very character driven, but when was the last space battle to hold us on our seats?
Anyone else feeling the same as me? I think everything has changed, and so have the characters, so much so that I'm not caring for a lot of them like I used to.
Hopefully with the focus on Starbuck in the next episode, I'll enjoy it a bit more.
