FRAKKIN' A FRAKKIN' TOASTER: While I still haven't seen any pre-Season 4 episodes, I am now wholly caught up to current Battlestar Galactica viewing. My lack of background assuredly made the climactic moments of this episode less stirring for me than for longtime viewers, but still...damn. Kara's admissions raising more questions than they answered, Lee Adama's new political role, and Adama and Roslin's surprisingly tender bedside moment--this episode was just full of goodness to be discussed in the comments.

ETA: While I expect most discussion will be Galactica related, let's open this up to the other sci-fi programming of the weekend, including Doctor Who, which had a solid kickoff special for a new season, even if it's kinda awkward to see a Christmas-themed show several months later, and Torchwood, which wrapped up its series really well, with a penultimate episode borrowing the narrative structure from the beloved Firefly episode "Out of Gas" and a finale featuring not just major, and legitimate, "game changing" developments but also glorious scenery chewing from James Marsters.
