9.2 So, after that song-and-dance by Edward James Olmos and David Eick (see Afterthoughts (7) and (8): Archive: May 2007), it seems that Battlestar Galactica really is cruising off into the great beyond at the end of season 4.
Ah well, there’s still 22 more episodes and that Pegasus TV movie before I have to break out the mourning veil…

* Yes, this is one of those cases where I liked the one sheet a hell of a lot more than the movie itself. (This also happens with trailers, where that minute and a half is sometimes so much more kick-a$$ than that excruciating hour and a half plus change.)
