I finally caught up to everyone else. I was watching season 3 over again. I know there was some criticism about S3, but I think I enjoyed that season more than any other.
Season 4 to me seems like a totally different monster. So much has changed from the final episode in S3 to the first episode in S4. And I didn't think the S3 finale was cheesy at all. I quite enjoyed it.
S4 has got to be the most depressing so far. So much pain and suffering for individual characters, the characters that we have watched for 3 seasons.
I'm enjoying Lee standing up to the President. His idealistic views are something that I believe in as well. I'm beginning to dislike the President as she takes a hard line against "the people" even though we know it is for the good of the survival of humanity.
The cylon infighting is another amazing concept. Throughout the series we were told by six and others that the cylons were God's perfect children, and now look at what they have become. The same as humans. We've already seen cylons taking sides, and i'm sure we'll see more of this as now one group has basically committed genocide in trying to rid 3 other models. That and the fact that the others believe the final five are with the humans. To ultimately unify everyone, they will have to unify themselves with humanity and the final five.
How did Tory become this giant bitch all of a sudden. Enders looks like he's handling it alright, Tigh is just seeing things, and Chief had a bit of a spaz, but all those guys seem to have some emotion left and something to hold on to in humanity (although, perhaps not anymore for Chief). Tory looks like she flipped the switch off, or had a much easier time with her emotions. Enough of an easy time to throw Cali out the air lock. And now we have 2 cylon/human babies. Wonder what Chief will do when he finds out Troy killed his wife...
The whole starbuck thing is setting up for something big. Half of the main characters are with her. Perhaps the two separate groups can both find earth. A dying leader will lead the humans to earth. And a living/dead kara thrace is chosen by the one true God to lead others down a different path to earth for a vital reason.
Make no mistake, the starbuck angle will become more important in weeks to come.
