No Spoilers in this post; feel free to read.

I rewatched the final 4 episodes of BSG (the final installment is 2 hours long), and I enjoyed them so much more now that I could watch them one right after another. On television, week to week, these episodes seemed to drag, but in quick succession they work wonderfully. I've also made my peace with the problems I had with the finale, and now accept it as brilliant. I had a similar experience with 4.0, where some episodes seemed not to work, but on DVD they played beautifully. I enjoy a lot of shows on DVD better than on television, but BSG seems to be an experience that works best in that medium, and I'm jealous of all the fans that will come to the show on DVD (hopefully catching it all in the correct order), and finishing it in a matter of weeks instead of months or years. The same goes for Caprica, which I'll be watching every week from the start, whereas I at least got to see the first 3 seasons of BSG (including the DVD version of Razor) in a matter of weeks.

I talked to Michael before bed. He's watched several more Justice League episodes now, having finished "Twilight", "Tabula Rasa", "Only a Dream", "Maid of Honor" & "Hearts & Minds". The next story he will be watching ("A Better World") is probably my favorite Justice League story, in that it's dark and brilliant, and leads to some of the best installments of the series.
