Don't worry. No spoilers, not a one.

I have to confess that I am immensely impressed. Thirteen episodes of season 1, and three now of season two. Each forty-five minutes leaves the protagonists just a little deeper in the shit, just a little more stranded and that much closer to the mincer.

Every time you think they are in the sausage machine, a veil draws back and you find that they are, in fact, in the fluffly antechamber to the mincer. Season two has a further seventeen episodes to run. Frankly, it has to let up at some point; there has to be a little respite. Perhaps.

One day, all SF - hell, all drama will be this good.

I concurr. I particularly like the various little riffs they run on original series concepts - the raid on the mine for example.

It's horrible and beautiful. S2e3 left me gawping. If this wasn't being ghettoised as sci-fi it would be winning awards for the writing and the acting; it's at least as good as West Wing.

I'm hooked. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing how much more Colonel Tigh can fuck up.
