I just finished watching the season 3 premiere of Battlestar Galactica. I missed it when Space ran it last Saturday night because I was far too busy stuffing my face with Thanksgiving turkey. Gotta love Thanksgiving in October, btw. For any Americans reading this, what the hell is the point of having Thanksgiving seemingly minutes from xmas? Spread your holidays around a little willya?
Ahem.
As refreshing as it was to me to be so spectacularly surprised recently when the season premiere of Lost turned out to be so great, I was nothing short of astonished when BSG also decided to break the pattern of not merely living up to its own hype and was in fact better than everyone thought it would be.
Baltar is finally the total bastard we all knew he's always been, Starbuck has another season of trauma to survive (no real surprise there), Sharon is back with the fleet, and insurgency abounds. Another example of that sci fi that I like to immerse myself in to escape the horror that is modern civilization (see prev post).
The mediocre-but-improving Smallville season 6 offerrings notwithstanding, it seems that the golden age of televised sci if is going to continue for at least one more season.
And I'm not sure when the hell my personal blog become a scifi-only post zone, but since it is such a big interest for me, I suppose it makes sense. I'll try to mix it up with more posts about my other inane interests more often.
Either way, with the cold weather coming, I can't wait to cuddle up on the couch under a blanket andlet, coerce, emotionally blackmail Superwife into watching a lot of scifi with me to pass the winter away.
Ahem.

I hate you ;-p
We're still waiting for season 2 to start here :'-(
I'm with you on both the Lost and the BSG season premiers. Both were excellent and had me drooling for more
iiq374: I forget where you're from, but I know that there are major delays distributing licensed shows around the world. It might be worth it to buy/rent the DVD sets. They're that good. If not, there's always the torrent sites. ;)
tj: Nice to find some agreement. A lot of the people I have been talking with online and in forums suggests disappointment with both shows. Apparently they're not living up to expectations. I couldn't disagree with that sentiment more or more loudly. These two shows are the best on tv right now (along with Smallville and Heroes) and I shudder to think of going back to the days of the sitcom and the reality tv show. But there’s just no satisfying some people I guess.
