Continuing my own personal Battlestar Galactica week…
What’s my favorite episode of Battlestar Galactica?
There’s actually only a handful of Battlestar Galactica episodes that I didn’t like. But, the episode that sucked me in was the very first one “33”. I had loved the mini-series and was looking forward to the show, but I was a little wary of how the series might turn out with the pressure of producing stories and shows every week.
“33” is an amazing episode with incredible tension. The Galactica and the ragtag fleet is fleeing from the Cylons after the Cylon attack on the home worlds, “jumping” away from them with their “faster than light” drive. However, the Cylons are finding them and launching an attack 33 minutes after they arrive from the “jump”. Galactica’s crew is fighting not only the Cylons but sleep deprivation after five days and 237 jumps.
