It’s like it’s been only yesterday that we were set in a New Caprica occupied by the Cylons. The third season of Battlestar Galactica arrived to an end last Sunday. I haven’t got to write about the series in a long time but it’s still very close to my heart, along side the Stargate and Heroes. This series has always been a roller coaster ride of emotions, action and scifi goodness. The finale met my expectations for the series to return to it’s root and surprise us at every turn. The promos leading to the conclusion of Baltar’s trial and the reveal of the final five Cylons. Oh yes! You heard right, there are even more Cylons that even the models we know now don’t know about! I have to say this cliff hanger is much more soothing than the end of first season where the life of one of our protagonist was at sake.

Now for the one liners recaps, Baltar is freed for his accusations as Lee pleads that the trial is built on emotion and that many in the fleet made mistakes before and were all forgiven but him. Gaeta is really turning it to be bitter as he lied on the stance about Gaius signing a death warrant. The really good part is when they make a jump to a new system where they are to find yet an other clue to get to Earth.

What’s that? Florida you say? No way they can’t get to Earth so fast, hopefully it’s just a shot and it doesn’t mean what you think. At best we can say that it does exist and it’s not just one big joke. All I can say that you are surprised and shock by who end up being the final five Cylons and how they react to it. Remember after Boomer realized she was a Cylon? Kinda of assasain waiting to be unleashed. It’s going to take 10 months before we get more answers, if you haven’t seen the finale yet you better find a way to see it, it was brilliant.

A new exciting chapters of NBC’s new hit show Heroes was unveiled. There is some cheating involved in my review because as a Canadian viewer I got to see the show last night at 9PM (Global) and it will air on NBC only tonight for US residents. The past few weeks of the show have been the most intense of the bunch and I wondered for how long they could keep pumping the adrenaline like thins. Reading my previous posts concerning the show will let you know that I’ve been swept off my feet every week since this story was unfolded. Beware of some spoilers in the following of this post.

This episode, formerly known as “Like Any Parasite” was advertised as the one where we would finally see the face of Mr. Linderman, a name associated with the mystery since the very first episode, and unveiling his identity did not help simplify the story because they didn’t loose any time introducing new elements. Let’s take for example Claire that decides running away and hiding is not her piece of cake, she decides to part with the Haitian and try to find Peter Petrelli. But little she knows that Peter and Isaac are in over their head with the incident with a certain gun that left one of the story’s main character for dead. HRG’s story line takes a bad twist as he is left with no memories of where Claire could be, but “the company” keeps a very close eye on him and his family. In addition, Hiro gets to find the sword (not a replica this time) and he meets back with Ando in the most surprising television magic twist I’ve seen!

Mohinder, Zane aka Sylar and Peter get together for some tea and everyone gets their share of revenge over past events. Yet again, the previews spoke true words. “An other one of those incredible endings”. We’re getting closer to a Winter Finale as the season will take a second break before concluding the first season, also called Volume One by Tim Kring, creator of the series. Chapter 18 was not the most heart pumping episode, but the story keeps drawing you back in.

One last note; in show advertisement is so funny. Micah and Jessica are playing a video game and it happens to be Heavenly Sword on the PS3, and yes; you get a good look at the game console!
