AVClub: “Fragged” (season 2, episode 3; originally aired 7/29/2005)
There are plenty of ways to generate drama, but my favorite is one that Battlestar Galactica excels at: putting people into nearly impossible situations and watching them squirm. It’s an approach that’s become fairly popular in the years since BSG went off the air, with Game Of Thrones and The Walking Dead currently leading the charge, ratings-wise. But every show, even the most lightly comedic, does this to some extent. Something you need gets in the way of something someone else needs, and all hell breaks loose. It’s about the application of pressure, and how that pressure generates suspense through character. We want to see what happens next, and more importantly, we want to see what these specific people do.
