At the end of season two, we took a startling but very interesting jump a few years ahead, where much of the crew is living on New Caprica. It lasted for about five episodes in season three, and they were a great five, but I was pleased when it ended and everyone was reunited again. It could have gone on too long, but it didn't. I was also pleased to see Roslin return to the presidency, coming full circle in bringing things back to normal again.
Looking at the season as a whole, it was actually kind of epic if you consider what everyone went through in those 20 episodes. In a couple of dark episodes, some established characters died, the fleet came closer to finding Earth, four of the final five Cylons discovered themselves and each other in a very cool scene, and loyalties between humans and Cylons were split further when signs pointed to them co-existing peacefully as a better solution. There wasn't a bad episode anywhere; I love these characters too much to get bored with them.
Best Episode: There were so many great moments this season: The crew reuniting on The Galactica after escaping New Caprica, Adama challenging Tyrol to a boxing match, Kat's heroic rescue through the radiation belt, Adama's reaction to Starbuck's birthday card, all of the sweet moments between Adama and Roslin, and the last few minutes of the season finale (which, while I predicted the twists and reveals, still awed and excited me because of the way everything was executed.) I guess I'll go with the finale, "Crossroads: Part 2", where Baltar's trial comes to a close after a strong speech from Apollo, four people simultaneously discover they are Cylons, and after correctly guessing that and who was piloting the ship ghosting Apollo, my world gets rocked anyway.
