Re:Battlestar Galactica Ep 2: "Water" [SPOILERS]
It would be misleading to say that this wasn’t as good as last week’s episode, but it wasn’t. Overall I’d give it a B+, but it was still of very high quality (unlike the copy I downloaded last night).
Water wasn’t a filler episode, as it plays a large role in the what I’m guessing to be the overall arc. But it doesn’t have a very worthy plot by itself, so its not the kind of episode that can be watched repeatedly for entertainment. Instead Water, serves the overall plot. It reminds me of a couple other Space Opera’s (Crusade and Firefly), whose individual episodes weren’t the best, but the series was greater then the sum of its parts.
This was a Boomer heavy episode. It’s certain now that she is a Cylon. But it looks like she can fight her programming, to help out the humans. Will she become the first (or perhaps second?) Cylon defector?
I still don’t know what going on with the Boomer-Helo mini-arc. Do the cylons plan to use Helo to track down the fleet, or perhaps other survivors?
It was good to finally learn that Baltar never did have a means of detecting the Cylons. He must’ve been really “lucky” in the mini to have serendipitously chosen a real biocylon as his fall guy.
I’ve been tinkering with making a BSG forum. I just don’t know how often it will be used. How many other people want an exclusive BSG forum?
