[QUOTE="Volaran, post: 3422887, member: 592"] The podcasts didn't start until after the half-way point of the first season, but I catch the meaning ;) The blog certainly articulates the point well enough, even though the perspective is quite different from my own. As I said, I'm not going to try and convince anyone who has been put off by the show to like it. All I can do is go on about why it appeals to me personally. Science fiction programming has come a long way recently in general, and thankfully anyone leaving BSG can probably find something they'll enjoy. About a year ago, I re-watched DS9, revolutionary among the Star Trek series for its lengthy plot lines at the time, and still my favourite of the Trek series. Yet, I can't help but notice how many truely filler episodes were present in a 26 episode season. Perhaps because of that, even with same people involved, even the less stellar episodes of BSG that still deal with fleet issues (Black Market, The Woman King) still don't stick in my craw. If we suddenly have a magically micro-sized Raptor sneaking aboard a basestar, then I'll truely worry. It is amazing how the things we can find fault with change with varying experience and context. Still, I do worry slightly about the twenty-two episode season. Pleased as I am with the show as a whole, the first season was the most 'tight'. If there are still two story arcs or chapters left, as Ron Moore has indicated, I would not mind seeing each wrapped up in a half-season next year. Even though I enjoy the show, nothing good lasts forever. [/QUOTE]
