battlestar mania

17 February 2008


Alice and I are making our way through the second season of Battlestar Galactica this weekend. It's the reimagined version of the old 1978 series, which I watched as reruns on the Sci-Fi channel back in the 90s. The old Battlestar was kind of hokey, but I really liked it and watched it all the time. The new series takes all the best elements of the old one and adds new depth and scope. But at its core, its the story of a space battleship/aircraft carrier trying to lead the remnants of a post-apocalyptic mankind to a new home, while being pursued by a race of killer robots who caused the aforementioned apocalypse. Now that's great television! 

Alice has succumbed and nerded out with me. She's hooked. And it is awesome.

are you getting it with netflix? i might need to borrow it... the battle between the two battlestars and the cylon fleet was one of the coolest things i've seen in a while.

the first two seasons are seriously my all time favorites in the new revamp of the B.S.

I don't watch it as much now but those two seasons are probably the most heart pounding things ever
