Battlestar Galactica

Last night, Sadie insisted we had to hang out in the living room, away from computers.  As I was suggesting we could watch a movie if nothing was on, Deb realized what she was seeing on NBC was Battlestar Galactica.  Naturally we hadn’t seen it, except the one episode I’d watched ("33") because the makers released it online to intrigue potential viewers, because it is on cable.  I figured it’d be a “someday on DVD” thing for us.  All it took for me to see it was one of the best SF programs ever made was the one episode viewed on my computer.

So we got to see the last of the first season.  Yay!  Except it sucks because it was so compellingly cliff hangerish.  Now we can look forward to seeing what happens next… someday when we get the DVDs of seasons one and two?

Good promotional ploy by the Skiffy Channel, putting these on mainstream TV and promoting the hell out of the new season beginning on Skiffy next week.  If we had cable, or were willing and able to rush out and get cable, they’d have snagged us as never-miss-it viewers.

1. Jay, I’m sorry to hear your missing one of the best sci-fi series of all time--and that’s just after one season. Well, you could always find the shows via BitTorrent.

   Next Friday, millions will be pumped for the new Harry Potter book. I’ll be ready and waiting for Season 2 of BG.

2. Battlestar Galactica is, simply, the best show on TV right now. Not that the bar has been set high by most of the competition.

   Another overlooked show that’s excellent is USAs The 4400.

   I realize ‘USA’ and ‘Good TV’ go together like Peanut Butter and rotten eggs, but it is a pretty damn good show.

   Dead Zone is pretty good too.
