i really enjoy bg season 1 3 and really couldn not understand those who do not like it . but i can not defend this nonsense . spoiler follow . the first problem be that the character be now do inexplicably stupid thing on a regular basis represent so if starbuck think she know where earth be why not send her out in a raptor . would the admiral accept the resignation of his third most experienced officer . would the quorum elect their new member and the non elect adama junior . he have about three week political experience under his belt and and be the son of a man they distrust . would adama send gaeta and halo along with starbuck leave himself short of senior officer . would adama put a man into have sex with cylon prisoner in charge of the fleet . i just do not buy any of this . secondly and while i accept there have be miracle and reference to god up to the end of season 3 and it now all totally over the top . i start watch bg because i think it be sci fi and not some biblical epic . i expect the character to continue to behave reasonably intelligently and and want some satisfying explanation regard some of the odder development in the series . baltar be the best character in the show and but he now seem to be totally insane . not illogical consider what he be through and but very unsatisfying . all the character appear to be just puppet dance to an unknown third party behest ( some godlike entity ) . this isn not good drama and it annoy and a writing cop out . ok and so what be the good point . nice battle at the start of 4 . 1. some good dramatic scene ( well act ) when view in isolation . a good final scene and a nice cliffhanging curve ball of a development . but this isn not sci fi and it turn into fantasy . i can not imagine how the writer can recover this one .
