BFFL Best Friends For Life

In the current desolate winter wasteland that is the November/December lineup, it's good to know that there is still something on TV worth watching. Battlestar, while on hiatus until March, offered up a mid season filler called Battlestar Razor. This show, written well before the writer's strike is the best thing that I have seen on TV in the last few months. Wow!

It is rare that writers can go back and fill in historical blanks in a way that truly makes future episodes more engaging, but that is exactly what the Battlestar writers have done. Riveting new characters, portents of doom, a new possible enemy (from without and within), and more.

I loved it. I'll even say that I loved it enough to forgive them an overly long hiatus. After Sopranos, I lost faith that a long break equaled great writing. Perhaps my faith is restored.
