Lost Versus Battlestar Galactica
Lost, which still has 36 episodes to go, is doing it right. They've got a wide-ranging story and every week we learn new, exciting, revelations. I wish I could say the same for Battlestar Galactica.
BG is still a good show, but though it only has a handful of episodes left, it seems to be stalling. The latest episode, "The Road Less Traveled," hardly moved the story forward at all. The secret Cylons are still at the breaking point, but no one has found out about them (who's still alive) and they sure haven't told anyone. Baltar's cult continues to grow, but it was growing last week. Starbuck is still going crazy trying to find Earth, but she didn't really get any closer. We didn't even see Six, Adama, Lee, Roslin or the Cylon civil war. And we sure didn't learn who the fifth Cylon is.
I'm in it till the finish, but come on guys, let's move this thing forward.
PS I always thought the point of finding Earth was to have a place for humans to settle far away from the Cylons. Isn't working with the Cylons to get there sort of missing the point?

You're right about finding Earth. It's been the rallying point for the surviving humans since Adama's speech in the mini-series.
I feel like the whole point of the show has shifted. I thought it was the story of 45,000 humans trying to find a home called Earth. Now, it's all about finding out who the mystery guest fifth Cylon is. It all feels so gimmicky.
