Battlestar Dull-actica at its lowest, 5 March 2007
1/10

Maelstrom is the jewel in the crown of the dull, weak and boring episodes the show has managed to produce this year.

What happened to the road to Earth, the Final Five and the mystery surrounding the creation of the Cylons? Well, stupid me, Adama's wife, Kara's mother and the issues of the knuckledraggers in the fleet are so much more interesting!!! From an epic, this show has been steadily turning into an expensive soap of dubious quality, which drags on and on and on without any reasonable explanation.

T.S. Eliot said once that the world ends not with a bang, but with a whimper, and this is exactly what is happening to the Battlestar. This quality will never lead to a fifth season - and it had better not, for the sake of the viewers.
