Battlestar Galactica

The ever creative “Battlestar Galactica” kicked off this recent string of “flash forward” storytelling three years ago, when the season two finale unceremoniously skipped over the year of colonization on some crumby, cloudy planet that looks an awful lot like British Columbia. We picked the characters back up just in time for their robot nemeses to force them into a confusing allegory for American foreign policy. The show moved on quickly, but we’re still a tad confused.
