What The Frak Is Going On?
"What The Frak Is Going On?" is a humorous but impressively concise 8-minute recap of the 2003 Battlestar Galactica miniseries and the first three seasons of the Re-imagined Series.
Created by the Sci Fi Channel, the recap uses a series of clips from practically every episode of the Re-imagined Series to illustrate and connect the central plot points of the series for new viewers in preparation for the series's final season.
The narration, provided by a woman's voice, speaks with colloquial tones about plot points include:
- Helo and "Good Boomer's" adventures in season 1 and 2
- The emmity, friendship and romance between William Adama and Laura Roslin (A sequence of clips from "Resurrection Ship, Part II" shows Adama receiving his promotion and giving Roslin an improvised kiss in return as the narrator quips: "Roslin promotes Adama to admiral. He promotes her right back.")
Certain events that do not play a significant element to the central plot of the show to-date, such as most of the battles, are not discussed. Events from the special season 4 episode "Razor" is also omitted.
As with much of the video content on the USA Sci Fi Channel web site, "What the Frak" will play only for United States residents.
