I've got a longer piece that'll probably go up tomorrow. I agree that Tigh coming out to Adama was well done (and won back the goodwill he'd lost with me after taking up with Six - I'm actually at the point where Tigh is the only member of the main cast I like, which is quite mind-boggling when you think about it) but I could have lived very happily without Adama's breakdown.

I don't know if you were deliberately referencing The Matrix with that comment about an architect, but my impression of where the show is headed is that humanity and the Cylons have been cycling through this story for millennia - one of them destroys the other, and sends their remnants on a quest for Earth/Kobol, where they establish an empire and prosper until the whole thing happens again. Not sure how much sense that makes, but then this is BSG.

No, I was thinking of R. Daneel Olivaw, mostly. :)

Here's where I admit, to my shame, that though I've read most of his short stories I've only read one or two of Asimov's novels.

Well, I enjoyed them at the time, but I'm not sure I'd recommend them to anyone now ... especially the particular books I'm thinking of, which are the ones where he tries to link the Robot novels and the Foundation novels

I think it will end with everyone covered in custard and singing a big song, like in Bugsy Malone.

If it doesn't, at least one TV show should end this way. Possibly CSI: Miami.

You can ignore anything first published after about 1960.
