I knew the Battlestar Galactica crew could get back to what really counted (i.e. espisodes that advance the story and don't wander into too-cute-by-half territory).

I've seen the final season two espiode and it is classic BSG. If you thought things were grim when Adama got shot, or perhaps you only watched the miniseries and witnessed the entire human race getting nuked, things have gone from bad to worse--which is good for BSG fans.

I listened to the podcast. RDM and company were having a grand old time smoking, drinking and cussing, not necessarily in that order. It might be nice if they were little less "tuned up" when they did the podcasts, but the sound of Johnny Walker sloshing in the glasses almost makes up for the occaisional garbage truck rumbling by outside. You see the producer makes the podcasts in his 10 x 10 study at home.

I admit that I was more than a little worried as the second half of season two progressed. The the pacing and keen sense evident in season one seemed to have slipped a cog. Anyway the Galactica world has merrily sauntered out the airlock sans spacesuit, and we have to wait until October to see the next installment.

You better hurry up with the DVD set for Season Two Part Two.
