most of the above, for me, is so good because it's a character study. I don't really care what happens, plot-wise, on BSG, as long as it reveals something new about the people involved. They can go to earth or not go to earth, whatever. Just set up some interesting thing for them to react to that brings out something we haven't already seen.
Meredith and I were kind of meh about Michael Clayton because Clooney is kind of a guarded actor. Who is Michael Clayton? I don't really know by the end.
Shield, I agree with John, though sometimes the agony turned up to 11 seems like an unskilled way to provoke a reaction, like how every goddamn oprah book has to have incest in it. Gaming, in general, could learn how to be better by trying to be less like the Shield sometimes.
