Battlestar Galactica is coming back. Next week, they’re playing it on NBC, and on Sci-Fi. As a nerd who grew up as a huge Battlestar fan, PLEASE watch it. If you don’t watch it, at least TiVo it. Consider it a personal favor to me. I’ve seen the first five episodes (thank you, SkyOne and BitTorrent) of the new series, and it’s awesome (or, as Napoleon would say, sweet). It’s very well made, is a lot of fun, and seeing those Vipers again is like being seven all over again.\
If we support good sci-fi, the networks will make more of it. The last great sci-fi show to be on a regular network, Firefly, died too soon. Let’s not let the same thing happen to this one (and if anyone wants to come over next week, the Battlestar mini-series should show up – I missed it the first time it was on because I was out of the country).\
I’m begging you. Please watch it or TiVo it. Come on, for me?
From One Nerd to Another
All I have to say is that I’ve had “Tivo Battlestar” on my to-do list on my PalmPilot for the past 4 months! Bring on the Cylons.
Came across this while trying to find out if the robot on Buck Rogers was named Twiggy or Twinkie.

(It was Twinkie).
Correction. It was “Twiki”.
That’ll teach me to believe a kiwi site that also has the theme song from Wonder Woman over IMDB.
And, while I’m here:
“In your satin tights, fighting for your rights”
