Yesterday was the day that C&C fans have been anticipating for a long time. The return of C&C…. not just by a new game, but the real return of a kick ass RTS. While playing the Command & Conquer 3 single player demo, I found that C&C3 brought back the “feel” of the Original Command & Conquer and even the first Red Alert game. — IMO, all the other C&C game (thanks to EA) just sucked. Ok, I liked Generals, but that was an exception.

I received my Kane Limited Edition yesterday, but I’ve not been able to play the full game yet… heck, I didn’t even have time to install it yet. But I will, rest assured! Just as soon as the puppy doesn’t demand as much attention, and we get back from our vacation.

Friday, March 23rd marked the two month point since Farrah and I spent the first night in our house. Wow! Time really does fly when your busy moving, cleaning, and fixing up a new house.

Well, it’s over… last night’s episode officially ended Season 3 of BSG. I’m hoping that Season 4, which was just upped from 13 episodes to 22 episodes, contains far less drama and a lot more SciFi/action. As I’ve stated previously, I’ve not been a big fan of the 2nd half of the 3rd season.

Now, I’m about to talk about last night’s episode… this will contain spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it yet, stop reading now. This is your only warning.

Alright, big surprise, Starbuck isn’t dead. Who would have thought. They sure had me fooled. NOT! Is Starbuck a Cylon? I’m still not convinced that that is the angle that they are going to take her… or any of the “four” that was revealed last night.

Sure… Starbuck, Cheif Tyrol, Colonel Tigh, Anders, and Tory (that her name???) could be “The Five” other Cylons. They sure played up that angle pretty good. It makes since for Tigh to be a Cylon, I have suspected that since the very beginning. But with the angle they played off in the finale last night, I don’t think it is the route they are going.

I think we may be seeing something new evolve here… something akin to the original series. I think these five, may not be human… but rather than being Cylons, I think they may end up being more akin to “The Beings of Light”. Ok, if not that, then some other race. Perhaps sent to live among the humans until needed. Remember, all of this has “happened before” according to the Cylons.

It’s possible that the “Beings of Light” are what we’ve seen in the dreams and at the “Eye”. White robes, masked, bright light…. yeah, they could very well been the 5 missing Cylons…. or they could have been something different, a trick pulled to throw us off in another direction.

Now, who were the women that picked up Baltar? I didn’t get a good look at them, but it didn’t look like it was any of the known Cylons and it didn’t look like anyone from “The Five”. Could they have been the otehr Cylons? Servants of “The Five”? Humans from Earth?

Whatever route they’ve decided to take the show… and what the story is with “the Five” we’ll have to wait until 2008 to find out. That sucks!

Ask my wife, I’m a huge fan of the re-imaging of Battlestar Galactica. I loved the first two seasons… heck, I loved most of the first half of season 3, but this 2nd half of season 3 is getting pretty damn boring.

Yes, I know that BSG is as much a Drama as it is an Action or SciFi show, but it the 2nd half of season 3 it’s been more Drama than anything, and it has gotten old. I’m hoping the action picks back up during the last couple of episodes of this season.

Did the directors blow the BSG budget on special effects during episode four, Exodus: Part 2? Is that why we’ve been stuck with so much character drama it’s starting to make us sick?

I mean, what action have we seen? There was that whole, “death” of Starbuck. Yeah right, like anyone really believes she died. They played that whole “your destiny” card way to much to simply kill her off and be forgotten about. Oh no, they took her name off the opening credits…. she’s either still alive or a cylon, we all know that. My guess is Katee Sackhoff is out and someone else will be returning as the hot shot pilot. Ok… I’m rambling.

What else have we seen action wise? Well, there was last night’s episode…. Crossroads: Part 1. We had the suspenseful 2 seconds when we thought the raptor might be shot down by the cylons. Wait…. that wasn’t exactly action, was it?

Anything else? Not that I can remember… if there was something else, it’d been long forgotten by the tiresome drama we’ve been fed for weeks now.

Bring Battlestar Galactica back, please! I’m getting tired of the shit.
