Welp, the time has come for the best show on TV to return. I just finished watching the two-hour season premiere of Battlestar Galactica and I have to say, I am a little disappointed. After a really nice change of pace at the end of last season, this season starts off a bit slow.
This episode could have fit into an hour and a half. It seemed a bit drawn out and the pacing was way off. I am glad that they have taken the effort to try to explain everything for us -- especially since the show jumped a year into the future last season and it looks like they have skipped another four months for the premiere. The problem is that the ground-based stuff is pretty dry. There is not much interesting on the ground. And there is not enough of of Battlestar Galactica in this episode -- and especially not enough of Adama.
Don't get me wrong, a disappointing episode of Battlestar Galactica is still a lot better TV than most shows currently on (with the exception of Lost). Maybe my expectations were too high. I cannot wait to see what the upcoming season brings. Battlestar Galactica and Lost still top my list of must-watch-TV.
