Kapow

Thanks to the lovely fans pennyfeline and larsfarm77, we can peep this (sort of spoilery) Canadian ad for the next ep, "Sine Qua Non":



Wow. This Brings to mind something ep writer/producer Michael Taylor said back in November:

Interviewer: Regarding the episodes you wrote, or any other episodes this past season, what details did you see in the finished episodes that surprised and/or delighted you?

Taylor: One moment comes to mind: I was in the editing room, watching one of our talented editors assemble a rough cut of a single scene. Not a huge scene, just a relatively brief but quietly powerful scene between Adama and Tigh (you’ll see it in Episode 8, “Sine Qua Non”). What struck me is that while the dialogue was relatively simple, these two actors brought so much to it that the smallest looks and gestures carried immense weight. It made me realize anew how, after four seasons, these characters have accumulated so much history and nuance. As embodied by actors like Edward J. Olmos and Michael Hogan, they are wrenchingly human. Less characters than people I have now spent years with, and who still surprise me.
