It’s been six long months since we last saw the “Battlestar Galactica” crew and their new Cylon allies go from the giddy high of finally finding Earth to the pitch-black depression of discovering the planet is a nuclear wasteland.
Tonight at 10 EST on the SciFi network, the second half of the fourth and final season commences with a gripping premiere episode that offers up a few more shockers..
Tonight we pick up right where we left off, with the expedition of humans and Cylons surveying the bleak landscape of what they had hoped would be their new home. The planet is not only fried, but the ruins offer myth-shattering clues about the original inhabitants that sucker-punch the survivors…
The series has played deliberately as a modern allegory. The new question is uncomfortably timely: What do you do when you’ve put all your eggs in one basket and the bottom of the basket drops out? Given the show’s admirable history of exploring humanity’s darker corners, it’s no surprise that some characters lament the cracked shells while others try to salvage an omelet.
I’d take the allegory further; but – that’s me.
What do you do when you’ve put all your eggs in one basket and the bottom of the basket drops out? /// You ask for a bailout.
I only remember this show from when it had the actor named Lorne Greene from the tv show Bonanza.
Ye Olden Days.
I think this show jumped the shark when it turned out everyone is a frakking cylon.

Same here.
Shells, omlettes. How about
LAYS AN EGG!
How bad should it be aftert a very long time? Radiation does die down. Besides some life forms aren’t as bothered by radiation as others so the planet would be a wilderness rather than waste land.
Short lived fast reproducing life forms should do okay in a moderately to highly radioactive location that would kill a human pretty fast.

It better be Frackin good!! Got a whole group of people coming over to watch and we are all hoping that it starts off better than last season.
Some people don’t like this show; I fall in to the category of people that think this is in the top 3 Sci-Fi shows ever. If they showed 20 hours of this stuff a week I would give up sleep to watch it.
Sorry guys the upload looked to have stopped part way through so I hit it again.
John you need to fix your web site if you can.
I am so glad Emostar Galactica is over!
A sci-fi show where soft porn sex scenes are okay but the word “fuck” is a no-no because it’s obscene it’s definitively a waste of electricity.
Angel you horny frakking bastard!
J/P=?
“The Cylons have a plan”
And I hope they finally let the frakkin’ writers in on it.
#3,
I think it jumped the shark on the pilot movie. If they had left it right there with that movie, I would have been a BSG fan. But it turned out to be General Hospital in space.
No really, look at the plot of general hospital in the 80′s they got the script from there.
So say we all.
Who says nuked Earth is the future? It could be our deep past.
I think the legacy of the show was defined in the “New Caprica” episodes, with their unapologetic analogy of the Iraq War. Humans = Iraqis, Cylons = Americans.
Great Television!

Uh, we have a plan?
One of the very best episodes in the entire series. Wow.
