Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5, episode 8
*sigh* I don't want to have to review any more of these awful episodes, dammit.
I'm starting to think Battlestar Galactica died with Lt. Gaeta and Tom Zarek in Blood on the Scales, as that was the last good episode, and the last one that even made sense.
Anders becomes the Galactica's Hybrid? Well, there goes any hope of one of the series' most real characters getting back into the action. It's just going to be incoherent babbling from here on out, eh?
Adama throwing a tantrum in his quarters and inbibing dangerous quantities of alcohol? Shocking & fresh when you did it the first time, E.J.O., but it's beyond old now - it's your schtick.
Oh, and I feel no sympathy for Kara for stupidly trusting Baltar with her secret, given his consistent and well-known duplicity over the past 4 seasons. Likewise, I don't feel sorry for Baltar for getting slapped (seriously, WTF is with the girly-slap, Thrace?) as I would think he would know by now that outing Kara would result in him sustaining some sort of injury at her hands.
All these "developments" are, as Chris pointed out, opening more plot holes than they close. This show quickly has become ridiculous and whiny and lethargic, with all the good characters having been killed off or bled dry of interesting content. There's no one I'm rooting for. Will the final two episodes breathe some life into this bloated corpse of a show? We shall see...
