First - what the frack the next season starts January 2009??!! You got to be kidding me. I can not believe that my Friday nights will have to be filled in with other more social activities now.
Second - This is the best show on TV - drama, story, politics, religion and hello surprises. If people can get past the "sci-fi" aspect of it, it has better surprises and more drama than every show on TV now. But the sci-fi does appeal to me a lot

. That mid-season finale was incredible. Finally a show that gives some answers along the way.
The find Earth and surprise - it is a nuclear wasteland when they find it.
The fifth cylon is not on the fleet?! So now what does that mean?
And what about the other cylons? This civil war between the cylons needs healing beyond getting us humans to forgive.
So many questions but at least there are some answers now. I still cannot believe that we have to wait until 2009 though. I do hope the finale is going to be good and when the Battlestar Galactica movie comes out there is a lot of good material now.
