Should we continue to struggle when so many have been lost? After discovering the dead Earth, you can see the devastation in everyone’s eyes. One of the big questions raised in post-apocalyptic stories is whether life is even worth living.
Sackhoff plays Kara’s desperate pleas of “what am I?” perfectly and it’s one of her finest moments. Leoben basically says “I’m outta here!” and drifts into the distance because of his shaken faith. At this moment, however, their find is too shocking for him to take. The Cylon Leoben (Callum Keith Rennie) had served as a spiritual advisor to Kara and pushed her to discover the truth. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace (Katee Sackhoff) makes an unbelievable discovery that raises questions about her very existence. This episode is packed with plot revelations that have been building since the start, but the scenes that resonate strongest involve the stark emotional reactions of the Galactica crew and their Cylon allies. How would they cope with yet another setback in this long and painful journey? Would they grit their teeth and go on, or was it time to just give up hope?
The final shots showed the characters standing on the desolate wasteland in complete disbelief at their misfortune. Unfortunately, this triumphant arrival quickly turned into a post-apocalyptic nightmare. The previous episode “Revelations” had ended on a stunning cliffhanger - the fleet had finally discovered the lost planet of Earth. “Sometimes a Great Notion” begins the final 10 episodes of BSG’s run after a seven-month hiatus. BSG aired its final episode about two years ago, and I've decided to focus on one of the pivotal episodes of that final season. The result is a riveting drama that offers great rewards on repeated viewings. Creators Ronald Moore and David Eick connect these stories thematically with our world without being heavy-handed or distracting us from the action. Its characters are three-dimensional and fascinating, and the excellent cast makes even the supporting roles memorable.

Battlestar Galactica (BSG) is a perfect example of a series that moves well beyond its genre and delves into some serious human issues. This blog typically focuses on films, but there are rare cases where a strong television episode is worth exploring because it connects with the marathon’s theme.
