The flashbacks didn't tell us much that we didn't already know, and certainly did nothing to raise my opinion of Admiral Cain, but Shaw's storyline was engaging, and the revelation about Kara is intruiging. In short, I found it interesting, but certainly not my favorite episode to date. To be honest, though, I was very busy when it aired and didn't give it as much attention as I could have, so I'd be curious to hear what you liked so much about itKen Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014885672703727636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065406139986258489.post-21074089045273699622008-01-23T20:24:00.000-08:002008-01-23T20:24:00.000-08:00Thanks...were you able to see Razor?

I agree that the show does an excellent job of not only presenting difficult moral choices, but also allowing the full consequences of bad decisions to play themselves out. That they are able to combine this with important redemptive elements makes the show great. <BR/><BR/>What I especially love, however, is the way they have left room for genuine divine action (not just a vague spirituality), including real prophecies, answers to prayer, even miracles. As I noted <A HREF="http://cruxmag.typepad.com/situation_critical/2005/06/battlestar_gala.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, that is tragically rare on television these days, and it's great to see it on the SciFi channel, of all places.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!Ken Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014885672703727636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065406139986258489.post-23694821968704911102008-01-23T13:23:00.000-08:002008-01-23T13:23:00.000-08:00Greetings!

I was all for the re-imagining motif of the mini-series. I think that a re-imagined Star Trek would revive the series. I agree that season one was spectacular. I felt that Season 2 got a bit "soap-operish", but feel that it is returning in a big way to what made it successful. Razor was an exceptional peice of work and the preview for Season 4 shows tremendous promise for the show moving darker into what is to be the greates series finale of all time (sorry about being a BG geek). <BR/><BR/>Theologically, I have found no other show that reveals the consequences of actions. I feel that the show develops well the tension of life and attemtping to reconcile moral actions to resolve difficulties. Shortcuts never work and its not only the "red shirts" that die. Although I did not initially like the episode "The Woman, King" I have come to appreciate the complexity of the plot line. BG is sure to be a series that will reveal deeper meaning once it ends and is seen several times. You definitely cnanot say that about any other show that I can remember (outside of Mork and Mindy of course!). Sorry to take up so much space and appreciate your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535718794748431283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065406139986258489.post-53280183165355734842008-01-23T11:13:00.000-08:002008-01-23T11:13:00.000-08:00Thanks for the link, Ken!
