Re: BSG S3: A Day in the Life
Maybe it's just that it has some personal resonance for me, but the scene where Adama's wife screams and yells didn't seem cliche to me because it was informed by the comments from Lee that she was always volatile. It wasn't an overwrought depiction of the problems of a typical military marriage; it was a typical scene of their life.

Re: BSG S4: Daybreak, Part 2 (April Fools Version)
BSG is an example of the more sophisticated television that Jammer has championed in his reviews for years, with long arcs and complicated character motivations. The finale for BSG (along with the finale to the Sopranos) to me points out that we haven't finished that transition yet -- the next step will be well-done television series that have complete stories mapped out in advance, in some detail, from the first episode to the last. (Yes, yes, Babylon 5, I know, but with the modern sensibility you see in BSG and the Wire.)

Re: VOY S6: Muse
This is the one episode of Voyager that's really stuck with me since I first saw it. It's unique.

Re: BSG S4: Six of One
I've been reading your reviews for years; they're great. I enjoy your full reviews (especially as a resource), so I'd rather you delayed the BSG reviews longer and wrote full length. Just my two cents, and of course yours is the only vote that counts.
