Galactica is back!

Watched the first of the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica today, and I was completely blown away. Usually a long hiatus like BSG had--in the middle of a season, no less--pulls me completely out of the storyline, but five minutes into the opening and I was back firing on all emotional cylinders.

The episode had all the nice touches that have come to characterize this show: great acting, nice art direction, and imaginative ways of turning the emotional screws to the viewer. Other sci-fi shows have had emotional resonance, but BSG seems to be the first to reach outside the hard core fans of the genre.

I am definitely looking forward to the next 9 weeks!
