Thoughts on BSG Season 4

After the showing of "Razor" tonight, there was a very telling trailer for the upcoming season. Interestingly, it claims that four cylons were revealed in the last season and one more remains unknown. So, I guess that means that Kara isn't a cylon after all.

This revelation makes the "Razor" statement perhaps a little interesting: where was Kara during the last few episodes and who was she with? The trailer suggested that the fleet stops trusting Kara because she might be a cylon. We are faced with a dilemma in continuity: either Kara died and then was resurrected (and is therefore a cylon because they haven't yet resorted to that particular deus ex machina on BSG) or she was rescued/captured by cylons immediately before her ship exploded. It certainly makes the series less interesting if they make Kara a cylon (Oh, you thought she was a cylon? Well, she is!) so I suspect she isn't at all. Also, if she is a cylon then Kara, Anders, and Tory form a CYLON LOVE TRIANGLE?!?!? Preposterous!

Anyway, the writers are all crazy because no new characters were introduced. "Razor" did not redeem the second half of season 3, in my opinion. We'll have to wait for March. (Or, better yet, Doctor Who in January!)

Actually, Heroes season 2 is airing now and still has enough quality to be satisfying.
