Hittin' the bottle again...

It's been two weeks since I've posted about BSG, and, as you'll remember, I was a little worried about execution. It was a bit clunky and just not as wrenching as this show had been in the past.

As far as episodes 2-15 and 2-16 were concerned, this was not a problem. In 2-15('Scar'), we had a Kara-centric story about her hang-ups and inability to do her job as well as she would like. Great complications with her relationship with Lee and nice action sequences as the beleaguered and exhausted pilots try to take down a super-skilled Cylon Raider called Scar. This episode revealed some of the depth of Kara's character that needs to be played out carefully for the series to continue it's success. There is an especially touching moment with Helo at the end.

Episode 2-16(Sacrifice) is yet another episode focusing on troubles from within. Dana Delany does a nice job in her guest role, but this episode is more significant for Lee's continuing difficulties. He's in bad shape at the end of this (again!), but not as bad as some. On the popular Battlestar message board, there's was some disappointment similar to mine regarding episode 2-14, but the geeks and jonesers now seem to feel like things are very much back on track. I heartily agree - oh, they're back, baby!
