What Do You Hear: BSG, Season 4B

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. WHAT DO YOU HEAR? is the fifth of six volumes, collecting Jacob’s popular columns throughout the show’s final, Winter 2009 season.

Both the harsh fate of "Earth" and Starbuck's own destiny are revealed, and the Final Final of the Final Five. Roslin questions her faith, and Zarek turns on humanity for its alliance with the 258 Cylons -- with some surprising allies. Ellen Tigh returns, Tyrol resumes work on a Galactica that is falling apart, and Caprica Six turns up pregnant of all things. Starbuck meets a mysterious piano player and Boomer infiltrates the Galactica. Starbuck wonders what she is and what she might become, and there's another round of flashbacks -- this time to life before the Apocalypse -- and Galactica heads out on her final mission. End of Line.

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!
