What Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica

The season opens with the surviving humanity still far from a home. The Galactica and the Demetrius keep searching for Earth, the thirteenth colony, while the Cylons refuse to stop chasing them. Kara Thrace's return raises the question of whether she is the pilot everyone knows or a Cylon in disguise. A change is also noticeable among the Cylons, and four of their humanoid models keep what they know a secret. Admiral Adama must hold together a distrustful fleet, while President Roslin tries to maintain order and tensions rise on board. Internal conflicts, between humans and Cylons, set the tone for these episodes.
