Review: Battlestar Galactica 3.14

May 31st, 2008 | Category: BSG, Reviews by Paul Talon, Television

“The Woman King”
null

“The Woman King” could have been a filler episode that was still well worth watching. Unfortunately due to some flaws in character and storyline it becomes less than thrilling. The concept behind the storyline was indeed something worth exploring and therein lies the problem. It’s only explored on the vaguest of levels. Nothing changes at the end, and missed opportunities abound throughout.

“Sine Qua Non”
Review: Battlestar Galactica 4.08 BSG_Sine

Wow. What a hunk of junk. I could almost end my review there but I don’t think that would do this episode justice. It is a full on mess of everything wrong with Battlestar Galactica.

In a revealing sequence Meredith and Nathan talk about their daughter, Claire. We learn pretty quickly that Meredith certainly isn’t above using her daughter for her own personal gain as she intimates that a story about an illegitimate child coming out right before election would certainly hurt him. Nathan offers her $100,000 and she accepts. It’s intriguing that they don’t portray Meredith as black or white. She isn’t evil by any means, but she isn’t good either.

“Suffer The Children”
Review: The 4400 2.05 4400_Suffer

“Suffer the Children” does what most good episodes do. It may be filler as the overall arc certainly doesn’t advance a whole lot, but it doesn’t matter. The connection between people are optimal and serve the story well.

Review: Heroes 1.14 Heroes_Distractions

Ironically enough, “Distractions” gets rid of what distractions the series had. “Distractions” is a very focused episode. One reason I think is very little of the Niki-Jessica sequences.

According to Dark Horizons Harrison Ford has thrown his hat into the ring for any upcoming Jack Ryan movie.
