ok. so it turns out this wasn't a new season (hence the topic change). it's actually a new episode which is supposed to be episode 11 for season 2. boy, that was some break.

The second half of Season 2 kicked off a coupla nights ago with "Resurrection Ship", continuing where "Pegasus" left off. I just watched the episode last night and let me tell you this: if there was any doubt that BSG is THE best sci-fi show on TV at the moment, then this episode will forever quash those doubts. The story was gripping from start to finish, filled in between with tender moments between Adama and Roslin, and also tense revelations about the nature of Admiral Cain and the ending, the plotting between the two ships, a-la 24, is absolutely fabulous. Damn (or should I say Frak!)! Why can't Star Trek be this good?

When I read the synopsis and the character description for BSG's 2003 miniseries, I thought what a load of crap.
It has gone on to be the only series on TV that made me eat my words. Apart from the last two episodes, almost every episode in Season 2 has been one nail-biting cliffhanger after another. They can maintain multiple story threads over the course of seasons and keep the story fresh.
Now I await the episode "Scar" where a Cylon Raider ace is running hit and run with the Rag Tag Fugitive Fleet. According to Zoic Studios, there'll be a lot of fighter combat then.

The story of Ronald D. Moore is a sad one in Trek. Ron Moore, Ira Steven Behr and Michael Piller (R.I.P.) were sidelined by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga while they worked on DS9. DS9 was the bastard stepchild of Berman's faction which ruled over Trekdom.
When DS9 ended the others left because they couldn't stand the politics and stagnant storylines the other Trek writers were churning out under Rick Berman. He stayed with Voyager to try to reclaim the good old TNG days, but discovered that everything was too restricted by Rick Berman. So he actually quit in the middle of a Voyager season instead of waiting for it to end.
So he moved on to other things, like Carnivale and ultimately Battlestar Galactica, where he tried to do everything totally opposite to what Berman Trek had been.
I salute him for succeeding.
