Short Attention Span Review: "Battlestar Galactica" 3/13

Tonight's episode demonstrated why Battlestar Galactica is, on its best nights, one of the finest television shows ever.

I loved the flashbacks that set up the characters in this episode much more than I did their introduction in the miniseries. And the scene where the admiral decides to go after Hera and draws a red line down the middle of the hangar deck with Starbuck, giving people the choice to go with Galactica and die in a blaze of glory or stay behind and listen to Gaius yammer on the radio...well, that was just fantastic.

Have I mentioned I'm going to miss this show after it ends next week?
