This Is a Gift: BSG, Season 3B
The Syfy drama hit Battlestar Galactica was the most talked-about show on television when it aired from 2003-2009, and Jacob Clifton at Television Without Pity has been part of that conversation since it started. THIS IS A GIFT is the third of six volumes, collecting Jacob’s popular columns throughout the show’s Spring 2007 season (and the intense standalone movie, "Razor.")
The standoff over the Eye of Jupiter comes to an end on the algae planet, while Athena takes off to find her daughter. The Trial of Gaius Baltar begins. The sick sad quadrangle of Apollo, Dualla, Starbuck and Anders falls apart. Tyrol goes on strike, and the Final Five remember their true natures. Also included is the recap for "Maelstrom," a Kara-focused story considered the high point of the recaps.
Over fifteen years writing and creating communities at Television Without Pity, Jacob Clifton was noted by industry and fans alike for his positive analytical approach and ebullient humor. His weekly columns—on shows ranging from American Idol to The Apprentice, Battlestar Galactica to Gossip Girl, Homeland to Pretty Little Liars and more—set off a decade of conversations across the internet.
Now, with the former site defunct and a Gawker editorship in the rearview, Jacob is excited to release these definitive, heavily revised editions of those classic recaps at jacobclifton.com. Please visit for more info and join the mailing list!
