There must be something in the water at Sci-Fi Channel headquarters - and if there isn’t, there should be, because that’s the only explanation I can think of that covers the total mess that is BSG Season 4.

Season 4 of BSG has felt like an amateurish rush job at the best of times, but come on guys, not even I could put this many choppy deus ex machina plot twists into a storyline!

I won’t bother with spoilers because … well, to be honest, Season 4, and tonight’s episode especially, are spoiled quite enough. They manage to go from “Basestar arrives” to “Everyone’s hostage” to the revelation of four of the final five, to peace, to jumping to earth, to … “Coming Soon”. All in the space of an hour’s show.

The

Frak??

BSG started strong, ran well, but this final season has been a third rate abortion of mammoth proportions. I truly feel sorry for such a sterling cast that they will eventually be remembered for such a piece of crap final season, through no fault of their own.

One might even wonder how cynical Sci-Fi channel is to put “For more information, go to http://www.scifi.com/battlestar” at the end of tonight’s episode, when the site doesn’t actually say anything about the “Coming soon” climactic (HAH) episode(s).

There must be something about Sci-Fi channel that they insist on totally ruining decent shows, such as Farscape and now BSG, whilst spending all their money on badly thought out sci-fi “originals”. Are they deliberately trying to run the channel into the ground, or are they just hoping to resurrect MST3K - with the channel as the punchline?
