Maybe one of the single best episodes of any TV series! All in all season one of BSG is brilliant, every single of the 13 episodes are a testament to the skilled people behind the series. But even in this lineup of episodes, "33" and "Kobol's Last gleaming" 1 and 2 stands out as a cut above the rest. From opening shot to the final sequence, this episode sucks you in like nothing i've seen before.
Everything from score to photography converges into a whole that is larger than the sum of it's parts. One of those rare moments when entertainment truly becomes art. Stunning!
The opening sequence, with it's slow and deliberate pacing makes us aware that we are at a turning point. That something bad is on the horizon. A dark and foreboding feeling sets the mood for an episode that one year and change after it aired still remains the high point of the series!
