Once upon a time, an executive at ABC headed home after a long day of sucking on the back nine, taking with him a load of TV scripts to pour over during a scotch and water and the latest episode of Lost. As he threw the 14th script in the fireplace to keep his study […]
One of the biggest questions going into this episode was whether or not Boomer was acting on her own or on Cavil’s orders. That was finally put to rest late in this episode, though I’m not sure it was a surprise to many. What was a surprise was the very alienesque Cylon colony “ship” — […]
