Two BSG related observations:
a) I think, going by the evidence of both s2 and 3 having strong opening episodes, a good middle episode or two, and great final three episodes, that the problem is Moore & Co. are plain better with the 13 episodes format than they are with the 20 episodes one. As season 4 is supposedly going back to the 13 episodes format, that should solve said problem and spare us future Black Markets and Quadrangles of Doom.
b) So, yesterday, after posting my own enthusiastic review of Crossroads, I - and seriously, I was bouncing and completely in love, still am - I checked on everyone else's reviews and the message board discussions, and it seems to be one of those cases where one gets the "did we watch the same episode?" feeling. Specifically in the arguing about Lee Adama's motivations. Now, I'm not a particular Lee fangirl, though these last episodes have made me recover all my season 1 and early s2 fondness for the character. Still, there are several BSG characters I like and love better. But Lords of Kobol, Great Maker, Cylon God and all the sci fi deities, how on earth or in space did people come to the conclusion that ( spoilery, and turning into a rant about Bill Adama? )

More Heroes fanfiction recs:
We Make The Road By Walking, a Nathan pov after episode 18, but dealing with much more than that. I especially like the way the author uses the (suicidal) backstory of the late Mr. Petrelli, Nathan's and Peter's father.
In the Blood: another pov ficlet set after episode 18, this one tackling ( spoilery identity of character ).
Endangered Species: future fic, drawing a scarily believable scenario of what could happen in later seasons. Claire pov, and it's a pairing with Niki/Jessica, accomplished in a believable way, but what fascinates me most is the future painted there.
