Alone and Unobserved

This is Battlestar Galactica’s last season, which is already a crime. And now it’s official: after tonight’s mid-season finale (reported to contain a jaw-dropping cliffhanger) the Sci Fi Channel will be holding the second half of Season Four until at least 2009. On the plus side, BSG producers claim that tonight’s episode is going to be amazing. Hopefully it will have enough amazing to make up for waiting until January for resolution.

I finished re-watching Season One of Battlestar Galactica last night, after I was done with the homework I had—once again—been putting off all week. There’s nothing like three hours of watching this to make me forget that I even have a life outside of avoiding/sleeping with/fighting The Cylon Menace. I mean, look who they have on there: Jamie Bamber, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Trucco, Tricia Helfer, James Callis, Grace Park, Tahmoh Penikett, Aaron Douglas, Lucy Lawless . . . it wouldn’t matter if the show sucked worse than MILF Island; like MILF Island, it would still have an enormous following. Unlike with MILF Island, though, I would be watching it.
