Wow. Earth Sucks!

4.10 "Revelations"

This episode was fun. Nice and action packed. Lots of tension and racing about. Very exciting. Despite how stupid a process it was getting him to that point, I enjoyed the fact that Lee was president. Also the variety of ways that the Four of Five gave themselves up/were given up were quite entertaining. I particularly enjoyed the look of amusement on the Chief's face when the marines showed up.

Also, they found Earth. And Earth blows more than they were expecting. It seems like at this point in the lives of the main characters, after everything that's happened, they must be thinking they got the short end of the stick not just dying in the first attack on the colonies. So now what do they do with the rest of the season? Are we back on New Caprica, roughin' it, just with less Cylon-inflicted oppression? I wouldn't necessarily be averse to that. I liked New Caprica. It was very dirty and led to awe inspiring acts of desperation.

Of course it hadn't even occurred to me until I read this io9 post, that maybe it's not Earth. I kind of think it is though. Or maybe I just hope it is because it would be kind of annoying for them to realize they were on the wrong planet and then set out in search of it again. So despite the fact that this season really jerked me around in terms of quality, plausibility and general entertainingness, I'm still desperate for the second half of the season and disappointed that I have to wait until next winter. Dammit!
