Battlestar Galactica: A Day In The Life

Started by webomatica · 10 months ago

This episode was kind of "meh," easily falling in the category of "filler" - but it still held my interest. I enjoyed how it delved deeper into the distant, serious mind of Commander Adama. We finally get to see things from his perspective, not merely in flashback but how his past infl ... Continue reading »

    I agree, I liked the episode but they need to get back on point.

    Did you happen to watch it on TV where they show the special bonus "scene" in which Gaeta is gossiping about Adama and Rosalin spending a lot of time together? That mischievous little (maybe) Cylon...

    Good post.

    The feeling I got while watching was that Adama's flashbacks were a set-up for some future episode where this latest insight into him as a man who finds it easier to see his crew as family than his actual family, might be put to use.

    Even in the episode, the flashback provides a nice parallel to his relationship with Apollo and there's a tiny character arc in its own right in the end.

    Not bad for filler on the whole, but I'd have enjoyed it a lot more if it didn't postpone the Baltar trial storyline for yet another week.

    MG - certainly that is more evidence for Gaeta. He's also ahead in my admittedly unscientfic poll.

    This feeling of them not continuing the larger storyline is certainly a problem. I don't know much about how the show is developed but they seem to do the bigger arcs during the episodes around the beginning and ends of each 1/2 season and the ones in the middles are episodic. Television seems to be trending away from this episodic approach - I hope they adjust it for Galatica's 4th season.

    I'm missing Baltar, too! I love to hate that guy.

    I still wish they had kept the New Caprica arc going for the entire season. I think it would've been way more compelling than what's currently going on.

    They really need to get back to the hunt for earth.

    Dave, yeah, in retrospect maybe they left New Caprica too soon. All that stuff with the resistance and Tigh is a distant memory.

    I was damn glad they ended the New Caprica stuff. It was excellent, powerful stuff, and they ended it at exactly the right time.
