I felt the same way as you midway through the season, Tony, but I ended up watching seven episodes over the weekend. I enjoyed all of them quite a bit, excepting the last hour of the finale and one other (a Starbuck-heavy episode, Maelstrom). What I've discovered is that I just don't care about the mythology part of the show. I'm interested in seeing these characters deal with the situations they've been put in. The finale was myth-heavy (in cheap ways, IMO) and handled the situation-dealing very poorly.
