I watched the rest of BSG 4.0; it helped to distract me from my upset stomach. It was all wonderful, though I noticed a flaw which is going to annoy me now. In the episode "Revelations", which is a fantastic mid-season finale, Adama mentions his promise to the crew to find Earth, and said that he made it 3 years ago. And 3 seasons ago he did. But there's another year in the closing moments of Season 2. Which means they fraked up here. Unless one of the seasons took place in less than a year, which is possible. In fact, the first season is shorter than the others, so it's possible, given that this is mid-fourth season and not the ending. Hmmm. I'll have to think about it... lol

I'm gonna take a bath. That sometimes helps calm my stomach.

Actually, now that I think about it, they didn't get it wrong! Seasons 1 & 2 are just under 1 year in length. We know this because in Razor, which is set just before the 3 hour finale of Season 2, the flashbacks to the attack on the 12 colonies, which took place in the mini-series are said to have taken place 10 months ago! Then there's a year and some months between the closing moments of Season 2 and the start of Season 3. We don't know how much time passes in Season 3, but if it's like Seasons 1 & 2, probably less than a year - and then 'Revelations' happens half a season later. It fits. Good. Now I don't have to be annoyed every time I watch the episode; in fact - I can once again rejoice in the fact that the writers for BSG actually get most of this stuff right! :0)
