Um, yeah. Still alive, still not writing worth a damn (but I'll finish the damn thing someday, I will!)

What brings me out of LJ hibernation is a query. For years, since Farscape walked off into the sunset, I've pretty much stayed away from TV. The subsequent squee-inducing series that have had my flisters in a tizzy have either not caught my

Sorry, the ads for it prior to the season just looked too unbelievably awful, so haven't gone looking for it. Are you recommending it

Galactica was in the category of series that are stuck on high-priced cable channels where I can't watch them -- SciFi here in Salt Lake is only available on a digital cable package, and that's way too pricey for us, especially considering how little TV we watch. We'd rather spend the money on having high-speed internet (and even that we've cut back to the cheapest type). Now that History channel is available to us on limited basic cable, we're pretty satisfied.

I did go to the trouble of downloading a few eps of Galactica, and I enjoyed it, but downloading tied up our bandwidth for days at a time and I was always worried I was going to download something with a virus attached, so I didn't continue.

I'm not sure I would say I "recommend" Crusoe. It is fun to watch, but I wouldn't put it into the category of quality drama that was Babylon 5 or Farscape. It's much more like watching a 17th century version of MacGyver; the sheer inventiveness is entertaining even when you know it's completely absurd

I think all of Galactica (minus the still to be shown final 10 eps) is out on DVD now. You could rent them.
