If you're one of our US-based readers, you will have seen the first episode of the new Battlestar Galactica run last night. Titled "Sometimes a Great Nation", it will hit UK screens on Tuesday 20 January at 9pm on Sky1 .
So: have you seen it yet? io9 was blogging it live as it broadcast. Meanwhile here's the LA Times review of the episode, including a look at how grim the season is shaping up to be:
'Battlestar has never been a bright and breezy show. Its characters are, after all, the few survivors of a nuclear genocide wandering the universe in search of sanctuary from the still-not-satisfied Cylons. So everyone has a lot of emotional baggage... "Sometimes a Great Nation" makes every previous episode look like "The Music Man." Dark, despairing, despondent, all the big D words would work here.'
