{television} battlestar galactica; season three (2006)

The third season of this popular sci-fi drama picks up where the 10-part series of "Webisodes" left off, with Tigh (Michael Hogan), Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) and Anders (Michael Trucco) leading resistance forces on New Caprica in attacks against their Cylon oppressors. Elsewhere, a reluctant Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) is enduring forced cohabitation with Leoben Conoy (Callum Keith Rennie), a humanoid Cylon agent she despises.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** (Actually 3.5) I was a little worried about this season, but they managed to make it as good as the first two seasons. It slows a bit in the middle of the season, but manages to round out the edges with a great beginning and a great ending and some great moments in between. The cast is still wonderful and I love the courtroom drama season finale, especially the monologue from Apollo in defense of Gaius Baltar is amazing and very well written and acted.
