BSG vs Lost: Week Four

Alright, alright - let's get it on.

So, in an interesting twist, both shows had a lot of similarities this week. They both seemed a bit like "filler" shows leading into the big stuff. And more importantly, they were both stuffed with lots of backstory to appease some of the diehards looking for answers.

Over on Lost, we got to see Rousseau's crew get struck with "The Sickness" that we first learned about so, so, so long ago. We also got to see what appears to be the home of the smoke monster. Plus another appearance by Christian/Jacob? Here's my question - so we presumably just saw Locke get off the island to go talk to the Oceanic Six, right? And we know there was at least a decent period of time between when that happened and the "present" we're seeing with the Six right now, right? And we also know that there was a decent length of time between when the Six got off the island and when Locke got off the island, right?

So, how in the hell is time working on the island? Crazy stuff.

Over on BSG, it was time to learn some Cylon backstory. It was wild stuff and really helped flesh that out. The big news on BSG is that there's apparently another Cylon that we didn't count before. I have my suspicion as to who it is but I'll keep it under wraps for now. But really, I didn't think BSG offered that much up other than the Cylon history lesson. There was a few other plot advancements of note but on the whole, it was greatly underwhelming considering how awesome the two mutiny episodes were.

Round Four goes to Lost!

After four weeks:

Lost - 2
BSG - 2
