MINOR SPOILERS:
It kicks off with the return of a beloved character thought dead - and the many questions surrounding her appearance. There a lot of questions like this in season 4 that never really get satisfactory answers - how did the Final 5 survive thousands of years after apparently dying in the cylon apocalyse? Why does Baltar have a cult, and is he actually more sane than we thought? Why were the cylons motivated to completely wipe out humans? Is Starbuck an angel? what's the deal with that song everyone keeps hearing and how did it get into Galactica? And what the heck is up with Romo Lampkins (possibly imaginary) cat?? Don't bother pondering these questions - they won't get answered.
In some ways, this season is the most imaginative and gripping yet. The search for Earth will make you question if Starbuck's lost her mind. The episode where they find Earth is the most emotionally wrenching moment of the series- truly a nihilistic and dark turn of events. The new villian, Cavill, is surprisingly believable in his contempt for humanity based on his desire to become a flawless machine. The final episodes, in which the dying Galatica takes on the entire Cylon civilization just to rescue one child, seem like the ship and her a crew are on a suicide mission. Then there's the amped-up mysticism surrounding Baltar's cult, juxtaposed strikingly with Roslin's crisis of faith.
The theme of this season is things coming to an end and being reborn. Roslin is dying for real this time. Galactica is well past her prime, and the ship is obsolete and broken, and will soon be uninhabitable. Adama is no longer the stoic, unshakable commander of the previous 3 seasons - he's worn down too, and seeing both Roslin and his beloved Galatica dying is more than he can handle. Pretty much every other episode includes a tantrum, drunken binge, crying fit, or some combination of the 3. At the same time, it makes him so much more relatable and real. Adama continues to lead, barely hanging on by his fingernails, because he's surrounded by people who keep propping him up just one more day. Meanwhile, Lee gets a new job and is finally coming into his own - and is no longer trying to follow in his father footsteps, but making his own path. The Cylons are no longer one monolithic enemy, but are fragmented into factions - some friendly - and individual Cylons develop unique personalities.
All of this adds up to some of the best TV ever - still character-driven and human (or Cylon) in scale but epic in proportion. The conclusion will blow you away!
In turn, the show's fourth season is the perfect realization of Battlestar's miraculously coherent half-planned, half-winging-it plotting style. The ten episodes shown so far are the first large group of episodes since the beginning of the show's second season that can be seen working as a whole, each episode contributing to the core plot, slowly implementing important movements for the main players. The difference here though is that back in the second season, the writers still had to pair each major development with a weekly plot, making easily discernible story chunks. But now, finally at the end, the show has moved far past that phase, ambitiously linking episode to episode by bringing what were previously undercurrents to the foreground, creating the sense of a visual novel with no distractions or fluff. Each moment is even more necessary than ever, as the show has truly become aware of the power of its main narrative, shedding off the structure that other shows have settled on after great ambition. Battlestar dared to go past what was proven to work and has reached its ideal state.
As one might realize, if a show were condensed to its most relevant materials and its excess removed, the viewer is left with very concentrated bursts of development. Luckily, Battlestar's entire cast and crew seem to have been trained for this season through the show's progression, and each episode not only works to hold together the whole, but is a gem of television in its own right. An episode such as "Escape Velocity" shines for handling character growth perfectly through masterful writing and direction, while "Faith" will shine for immaculate performances and gorgeous, revelatory writing most of all. Even an episode like "Sine Qua Non," the only noticeable hiccup this season, still shines for the episode it is, its incongruity tempered by its importance to the full season.
Any viewer of the show can acknowledge the odd notion that, for such a beacon of hope, Battlestar is a dark, challenging, and at times outright depressing show. Season 4 continues dark and heavy, but with a new and refined perception towards the sense of each character, has shown palpable thematic brilliance, each emotional trench, realistically heart-breaking, each rare moment of hope, poignantly uplifting. Just as the characters of the show are flawed and are perfect for all of their faults, so is this fantastic season, in this once-in-a-lifetime show, worth watching unfold.
