Finally! Thus far this is the only website I've found where I find people who actually agree with me. Everywhere I turn critics and fans defend the aimlessness and lack of focus that is Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. With the exception of a few great moments, the main story arc has no nowhere fast. I view seasons 1-3 as some of the finest television ever, however this almost feels like a different show. Did the show lose it's original writers? Is all of this filler intentional? Did network executives step in at some point and demand that the show slow down so that its not so serialized?

I don't know that we'll ever know what's going on behind the scenese but it's hard to imagine that the creative forces behind the series don't know that this season stinks, nor do I believe that they would allow it to do so. The majority of BSG fans I speak to on a regular basis always throw the "oh you're being impatient" and "this is buildup, just wait" excuses at me. Excuse me but the time for build up has past. This is the final season of BSG and with so many loose ends to tie up, we should be getting answers and seeing at least 4 of the final 5 revealed. From here we should be witness to the dramtatic fallout from these revelations. I thought the revelations should have started somewhere around week 3 or 4, but this season seems like one big filler episode and gives me the impression the main story arc has taken on a lesser role.

I love serialized shows like BSG for their drama and long complicated story lines. I also love WTF moments and cliffhangers that make you think all week long. Sadly those are missing as well this season.

I guess I just want to know if this is deliberate. If it is it's poor storytelling. There's nothing wrong with set up episodes but even those have lost their impact this season. I think there is nothing wrong with the show being dark, depressing, and lacking in Hollywood feel good garbage but this season looks like its aiming not just to end in a dark place but no place at all with no resolution. I hope we don't get "Soprano'd" by BSG's finale. Just my 2 cents.....
