The Final Season Has Began!

The final season of Battlestar Galactica began and the first 10 minutes was enough to glue you to your seats for the rest of the season!

I don't know if any of you were listening to the background music, but about 8min 29secs into the show, there was this part where Anders was flying in a Viper and the Cylon Raider was flashing its red eye at him and there was a "red eye" moment for Anders, the music suddenly changed to something akin to gamelan music, with bass, just till the Cylons retreated.

Gamelan music is music from Indonesia, be it Javanese or Balinese, it involves deep gongs, brass percussion instruments and chimes played together in an orchestra of at least 65 instruments. The music in the show was just 3 notes, I think it was something like E, C, F, followed by drum beats and it just repeated itself, that was deeply profound for Bear McCreary to compose music like that!

Even the opening sequence has also changed, the Cylons don't have a plan anymore, everyone wants to find the Final 5 Cylons, and we know who 4 of them are.

Here's something from the Simpsons to give you an idea of the parody of the series, toasters indeed!
