I’ve been terribly lax in writing about the new Battlestar Galactica series. It’s excellent, and if you’re not watching it, I beg you to give it a try. Sci-Fi is playing the first 5 episodes of the series (all that’s aired in the US so far) Tuesday night, starting at 7, and the miniseries/pilot is available on DVD. New episodes air Friday night at ten and rerun Mondays at the same time.
The showrunner, Ron Moore, keeps a blog, and it’s well worth reading. I especially enjoy his entry on the first episode, 33. Down with fanboy technobabble!
I’ve seen a few episodes of the original, and heard of original fans going up in arm over the changes that were made, but almost everyone I’ve spoken to has embraced the new series. Give it a try. Please.
Here! Here! BSG is friggin’ fantastic. I was a fan of the original and love this one even more.
There were several scenes in last week’s episode, alone, that were some of the best written and acted I’ve seen from a sci-fi series in a LONG time!
