I finally got around to watching Battlestar Galactica: The Plan tonight. In what's become typical for me with BSG, I watched about an hour on Tuesday, got interrupted, and then had to work myself up to watching the rest. I even considered sending it back unfinished, but I stuck it out through season 4; I figured I could see my way through the ( Read more... )

As I promised a few days ago, I just watched the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, courtesy of Netflix. I thought it would be interesting to see where it began (this time, anyway) before it ends tomorrow. And, honestly, I thought it would be fun. Yes, I know, end of the world and all that, but the characters are so young, and they haven't been ( Read more... )

I watched the penultimate episode of Battlestar Galactica, something I haven't talked about in this space for a while.

( Let's make this extra spoiley-safe. )

I've been pretty sick this week. It's really just a cold, but it's a cold with enough sinus pain to make it almost impossible to sit up at my desk. Lying down is the only thing that helps. You know it's bad when your head hurts too much to play a computer game. But this isn't a "give me sympathy" post. It's an explanation for why I spent the ( Read more... )

The Sci-Fi Channel's scheduling policies don't make any sense to me. Tonight, they're showing the first half of the season finale of The Sarah Jane Adventures, and the first half of a Doctor Who two-parter. I haven't watched Battlestar Galactica in a couple of weeks (although it's on my DVR), so I don't know if they'll have a cliffhanger as well ( Read more... )

Been very, very busy with the working. Doesn't look like it's going to let up for another few weeks, possibly all of May. On the plus side, no time to do anything interesting that would warrant blogging about it, either. Still carving out a couple of hours per week to consume media. Therefore, quick thoughts:

• Last Friday's Battlestar Galactica ( Read more... )

I just got around to seeing last Friday's BSG, "The Ties That Bind." Well, that was grim, wasn't it? I hate to say this, but Elora probably won't...I think we're running out of likable characters on this show. Kara's being self-destructive again, and Sam's helping. Lee's out in subplot-land, and he's no fun without Kara to interact with. Adama ( Read more... )

Am I seriously going to talk about each episode of Battlestar Galactica after it happens? Well, maybe not, but for now, it's looking that way. Hey, I spent the first three seasons on the outside looking in, so now that I can follow it in real time with everybody else, I'm gonna discuss. So, last week I lamented the fact that nothing much ( Read more... )

That was my first experience of just being able to watch a single episode of BSG in one sitting. When I'm watching the disks, I generally arrange it so that I can watch both halves of a cliffhanger, so having to wait a week is a slightly new experience.

( Still, that was it? )

laddical's insane amount of BSG postery is spilling over onto my blog. So with scant hours left to go, here's what I think Season 4 should be: Galactica 1980. Not in the sense that the fleet gets to Earth and it's the present, and the Earthlings are completely unable to help against the Cylon threat. No, I mean the fleet gets to Earth and it's literally ( Read more... )
