Actually, I would say the series dipped right after Resurrection Ship 1 & 2 but I don't blame RDM directly, but more to the point, I blame scifi for actually giving RDM longer seasons. He seems to work better when pushed to do more with less.
Meh. Epiphans, Scar, Captain's Hand, Downloaded and Lay Down Your Burdans were all great episodes. Only Black Market and Sacrafice were a let down.

I'm hoping it picks up for the last two episodes of the season. You'd think it would, being the season-finale and all, they have to sink in some hook to make you want to watch again next year.

I'm not saying that we haven't had great episodes since then, I'm just saying I feel the decline in quality started after that point.

RDM is most definitely not to blame for the dip in the shows interest. I still like the show and felt that the production quality is still top notch. The stories are a bit out of place and weak at the moment as the show tries once again to redefine itself. At least they didn't go with the Adama Starbuck love affair.

Sci-Fi has picked up 13 addition episodes for next year. Hopefully they can pull out of this nose dive and bring people back to the show. They have a wealth of story arcs they can pull from, even ideas from the original series, but will they. Will they find Terra and the Alliance? Will they run into the Beings of Light, what about Apollo shoot out with the Cylon? Hell they could even come across an old ancient space station and fix up the Galatica a bit. She is looking a bit under the weather herself.

Yeah the radiation from that nebula didn't do the hull any favors.

The two hour movie though is dependent upon ratings though. Bad ratings, no movie.

Ok, if you had to write the last episode of BSG how would you end it?

I would end it with Bill Adama waking up with cold sweats and an empty bottle of booze next to his cot. "Damn" he says as he looks at the bottle and tosses. "I will never drink again."

Cut to out side shot of BSG Galactica sitting in space port surrounded by hundreds of Colonial ships. Fade to black.
