I can't wait for this.I place this show with "Lost" as one of my can't-miss-must-TIVO programs. The final episodes are starting tonight for "Battlestar Galactica" on Sci Fi (10 p.m.) -- the series critics call "the best show on television."
Our friends at The Los Angeles Daily News have created a Battlestar Galactica interactive for the show with some background and plot points to help those who haven't kept up. If you are a hater of the new BSG and say there is only room for the first "Battlestar Galactica" series in your life, then allow me to offer you an intervention...
I was once like you.
I loved that theme song and Lorne Greene was the man, but most of those episodes we watched when we were 10-years-old don't compare to the show today. There were some memorable moments (a Cylon blaster duel on a wild west-themed planet, anyone?). Other than some character flashes, those original BSG episodes were not all that awesome -- seriously. This isn't personal, folks I'm just telling you like it is.
I went through a lot of stages when I heard there was gonna be a remake...
There was denial: "How can you make Boomer into a woman...?"I learned to cope: "Wow, that Boomer really is an extremely attractive woman."
Then there was acceptance: "You mean there are thousands of Boomers?!? That's awesome!"
I was cured and have been a regular viewer ever since.
Seriously, the show is great so please treat yourself and get your Netflix workin' or whatever and catch the heck up.
I will post something about the episodes here and there along the way and maybe we can talk theories with a BIG SPOILER WARNING before we do that, of course.
