Basically the tension was the risk of eventually being found out and also how the character had bad impulse control.

The show at least did a decent job at the occupation of Iraq and suicide bombing though. The entire point of Sci-Fi is to put real world situations where you feel emotionally involved and make them alien enough you can look at it from a detached perspective. Oh wait it's all about Space God needing all sentients to get along.

FADEtoBLACK posted:Gaeta ended badly. It really felt like the actor got bored and wanted more and maybe a way out. You don't get uppity and beg to be killed off with a whole 6 or so episodes remaining in the series. Gaeta was one of the biggest secondary characters (or one of the primary ones, if you widen the requirements to being in 'only' 59 out of 73 episodes) on the show, with important crap given to his character at plenty of points in the show. Him throwing a mutiny because he thinks it is right was a great way to go. Also, consider the major roles Alessandro Juliani has had since. An extra with 2 lines that was cut out of Watchmen? Another extra, this time in Man of Steel? Poor guy, he ruled, too. Most of BSG's cast has fallen completely out of use in spite of being awesome at their jobs.

The guy who played Helo has been popping up in some shows lately and Roslin is on some show whose name I can't remember. And like I mentioned earlier Col. Tigh is General Tullius in Skyrim.  (Yes I know they aren't actually their characters, I'm just too lazy to look up names)

Remember, the back half of the season was almost entirely Baltar's Trial and its build-up. The first half of season 4, basically everything until they get to Fried Earth, was just Starbuck farting around with a lovely ship until they find the Cylons and blow up their Resurrection Really Seriously Important This Time Pinky Swear Hub. You could excise almost all of that from the narrative and not have much changed.

I actually would get excited when they would show scenes with the old school metal cylons. I love how they sound when they talk and how they look. Badass.

I kinda repressed my misgivings about the show up until the finale but oh lord was that a cheesy stinker of an ending. They tried to wrap it up neatly but ended up pleasing no one. Also paper without corners! Woo production design!
