SciFi Friday

I think tonight’s episode of Battlestar Galactica, 208 Final Cut, was probably the best episode of this season so far. Personally, I loved hearing the origional BSG theme song during the show. I wish it was played more often. Time to grab Ron Moore’s Podcasticon and see what he has to say about it.

Stargate: Atlantis was also pretty good, though I wish it hadn’t been one of those episodes where right at the last minute everything turns out to be ok. Personally, I think the writers/directors from SG:A could learn some stuff from BSG. But what do I know, eh? :p

I couldn’t really complain about Stargate: SG1. I enjoyed the hand-to-hand combat scenes. It actually reminded me a lot of Gladiator, only on a much smaller scale. ;) It was nice to see something other than the Ori (??) and the friars being the focal point. I’m already sick of them. They either need to do something, or go back to being hermits in a distant galaxy.

Can’t comment on Firefly, as I haven’t seen it yet. It’s TiVo’ed so I’ll watch it tomorrow. ;) Gotta love that little toy.

Friday Again

Once again it was SciFi Friday, probably one of the best nights on TV.

I think this is probably the first time I’ve enjoyed Stargate: Atlantis more than Stargate: SG-1. Hopefully both shows will pick up more next week.

As always, Battlestar Galactica fraken kicked ass. :P Looks like next week’s episode of BSG, “Home Part 1″, will be pretty interesting. Considering I’ll be in Panama City Beach, Florida next Friday, I’ve got my TiVo set up to record it, as well as the rest of the SciFi Friday (and Wednesday) lineup. :P

Hopefully I’ll be able to watch it Friday night, but if not there is always TiVo. :P

BSG Season Two and Q & A @ BSG Blog

The Battlestar Galactica Blog (by Ron Moore) has a nice Q & A session up talking about some of the stuff to come in season two. It’s a nice read if you like BSG and have some time. :)

The Q & A was actually posted on 02/19/2005, but as I said the other day I’ve been a bit preoccupied. :p

Speaking of BSG, has anyone read the series written by Richard Hatch? Yeah, the guy that played Apollo in the 1978 and 1980 series NOT the guy from that stupid Survivor show. Looks like there are about seven books according to Amazon.

  • Destiny
  • Paradis
  • Discovery
  • Resurrection
  • Rebellion
  • Warhawk
  • Armageddon

Let me know if you’ve read any of them and what you think. :)

What Is Your Favorite Star?

This weeks poll @ OCC is more of a TV/Movie poll than it is related to computers. Though, with a title like “What Is Your Favorite Star?” you might think the poll is about people. It’s not. The poll wants to know what show or movie with the word “star” in it you like best. This could be Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica or a few other things… maybe there is one that you like that I didn’t think about. Let us know. ;)

Yes, I voted for BSG. :p
