Mixing Metaphors

So i got the chance to watch the mid season finale of Battlestar Galactica tonight. I’ll try not to drop too many spoilers into this post but it was a jam packed episode with a rather suprising conclusion. I was disappointed as the pace could have been a little slower to savour some of the events. But overall i felt like i have for most of this series, that its got a little tired and exhausted.

Now the other thing that gets me is that their definition of mid season finale is different to mine. It suggests an interlude for a couple of months at the most, not 8 months long after 10 episodes of a 22 episode series.
