Battlestar Galacta: the plan

We watched nearly two hours of total-Geek science fiction. It made sense to me because I'm a fan of the re-make series and have watched every episode. Spike may have been slightly bemused from time to time because as a stand-alone narrative I have to be honest and say 'The 'Plan' is bonkers, full of plot holes, illogical jumps and unexplained comings and goings.

I wondered if it was essentially a compilation of deleted scenes from Series 1 and 2. It's unlikely the producers would have recalled actors only to have filmed chat between good versus bad 'skin jobs'. That may make the piece a triumph of editing but even then we're still in the territory of unnecessary movie making. It added nothing of depth or complexity and, what's worse, felt a little ... dare one say this about BG ... boring.
