All Hail Galactica!

On a lighter note... the updated version of Battlestar Galactica just ended, and I must say, that's my favorite season of TV in a long time. This was just good stuff. Not perfect, but damn good. There is a layer of threat, of oppression that I don't think I've ever seen before on a space opera like this. Also, I don't think I've seen a show incorporate that post 9-11 unease into a totaly fictional, fantastical setting like this. And so well.
As the twin towers of sci-fi franchises, Star Trek and Star Wars, put out their torches forevermore, it's good to know there's something to satisfy that jones I have for good scifi tv.
In a few days I think I'll post an ep guide with reviews. They are going to start reruning the season next friday so check it out, if you haven't.(Ron, I'm looking in your direction...)

Alas! I don't have the Sci Fi channel! I'm counting on your VHS skills, and, one day, I plan to clone your Galactica collection.

Maybe your Galaga collection, too, if you have one.
