Bring back the plot!!!

So the last couple BATTLESTAR episodes have left me a bit frustrated as of lately, for while there's been a great deal of intriguing character interaction going on, there seems like there's been little in actual plot advancement. This could be simply due to the fact that there are so many plot threads being juggled at once for the moment (resulting in a lot of key characters barely appearing, or not appearing at all in certain episodes), but part of me can't help but worry that the BG writers may simply be dragging their feet in getting to what we as fans like to call "the good stuff."

I can't help but be reminded of the show LOST, a show which I felt held promise with lots of compelling characters and narratives on the 1st season, only to completely bore me to tears the 2nd season by stalling with the introduction of several new characters who were killed off almost as quickly as they were introduced. In fairness to LOST fans though, I have not seen the 3rd or 4th seasons of the show, and wouldn't be surprised if it got its footing back eventually.

Unlike LOST however, BG shouldn't be trying to put in "filler" episodes at this point, as we're in the final season. This is gonna be it, goodbye, finito forever! Shouldn't every episode count for something a bit more? I don't need my jaw to hit the floor with every one here necessarily, but it would be nice if enough were going on in each episode that I could give people an interesting synopsis of what happened this week when people ask me about the show. I am a true believer though, and have total faith that Moore & company will pull things together and deliver one hell of a finale for us. Season three faltered in a similar fashion mid-season, before finding firm footing again in its finale.
