What I'm Watching: Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4, Episode 3 “The Ties That Bind” (B+)

I was holding my breath during that last scene. Though it might have been obvious that Tory was going to send Cally out the airlock, it still came as quite a shock to me. That super-strength push that sent Cally flying was the first time any of the final four have demonstrated any Cylon-like activity, and I’m sure this is only the first in a series of crazy-intense freak-outs by all of them. I can do without the messed-up relationship between Sam and Kara and any of the political meetings. It is great to see some good speeches by Adama and especially by Roslin. Additionally, it is always a pleasure to see Richard Hatch guest-star as Tom Zarek, though I wish they would give him more to do. The Cylon civil war is pretty frakking awesome, but I still can’t hope to figure out who’s on the good side and who’s on the bad side.
