Another mainstay in the reality TV realm is The Biggest Loser, which embarks upon yet another season. Many believe that this will be one of the best in the show’s history. For one, it’ll be featuring couples attempting to drop the pounds. Additionally, the heaviest contestant in the show’s history (a 30 year old deejay from Chicago weighing in at over 530 pounds) will be featured on the show. Can someone so heavy lose enough weight to win the competition? If he can, one thing is for sure. This would be absolutely remarkable, and it’d be sure to generate a ton of attention from television lovers.

See. So season three wasn't as big of a letdown as some fans/critics of the show seem to think.

Doug, I completely agree. The New Caprica episodes were phenomenal — taking such a huge change to the fundamentals of the show and characters and building a complete new world, where they each have their place — and the post-NC eps. "Collaborators" and "Unfinished Business" are two of my all-time favorites (as is "Taking a Break…"). On the whole I prefer the first half of Season 3 to the first half of Season 2, which didn't really kick in for me until "Pegasus." And the wrap-up of Season 3 (while it could never top Season 2) was pretty absorbing stuff.

If you're interested in that Lee Adama courtroom speech, you can find the text here in the quotes section on IMDB: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0947105/quotes It's the last one listed.

Finishing off season three with Baltar’s trail and the reveal of the human-Cylons in “Crossroads” was almost note perfect. I still enjoy watching the episode where Lampkin calls Lee Adama to the stand to testify and he eventually gives the speech about how many times the administration has simply “forgiven” various violent incidents against other innocent humans within the fleet. I get chills watching that speech. A good piece of writing (and acting) in that scene.

That’s my two cents.

Since they aired, it’s always been my opinion that the first five episodes of season three fall into the ‘very good’ to ‘excellent’ category, specifically the initial resistance eps and the great two-part “Exodus” eps. The scene of the Pegasus crashing into the Cylon Basestar was an amazing visual effect (although in hindsight, an enormous waste of a modern Battlestar and the raw materials and technology it could provide to the Gallactica and the entire fleet if it had to be scrapped because of battle damage).

The mid-season highlights to me were the three consecutive episodes “The Passage,” “The Eye of Jupiter” and “Rapture” [eps 3-10, 3-11 & 3-12] (and possibly also the dark, disturbing Edward James Olmos directed episode "Taking a Break from All Your Worries" [3-13]).

I have to split this post into pieces to accommodate the length… sorry!

I’ve long thought season three has always been a little underrated by BSG fans. Naturally, the mini-series and seasons one and two are fan favorites, but I seem to stumble across frequent comments/posts by fans that really slam season three as not being up to the level of the first two.

While season three did have a handful of filler episodes (“Hero,” “The Woman King,” and “A Day in the Life” come to mind), it also had some exceptional eps as well.
