BSG S1:E1
<p>
This is some insanely taut storytelling, and while it tries to be clear
what is happening at any moment–it's only about the jump cuts during
space battles, which is probably an appropriate place to do that–it's
happy to wait until later to reveal to you the implications of what you
saw. Which I regard as a good thing–not assuming your audience is
stupid is still refreshing.</p>
<p>
As an example, we see Six on the space station, seemingly destroyed, and
then we're shown the same person with Baltar, and although we get that
this is a signal that she is probably not one of the good guys (not to
mention the incident with the baby–which I still can't decide whether
to interpret as mercy or as the equivalent of pulling the legs off a
spider<sup class="footnote-reference"><a id="footnote-reference-1" href="#footnote-1">1</a></sup> just to see what happens), they're happy to wait half an
hour to let us know that they can upload their consciousness–and we're
<strong>still</strong> not told whether the one on Caprica is the same one as on the
space station.</p>
