Those unfortunate few who really know me may be aware that I am a big fan of Battlestar Galactica. No, not the goofy series back in the late 70's and early 80's, though Lorne Greene was a great actor. I'm talking about the revamped and serious version that has brought respect to the name Starbuck.
Serious science fiction fans such as I will still be wondering how the sound of space ships could possibly be heard across the void of space but, hey, we can't all use classical music to such good effect as Stanley Kubrik.
This version has Edward James Olmos playing Lorne Greene, er, Commander Adama. The rest of the cast is quite good, as well. I like Tricia Helfer the most, though I can't for the life of me figure out why...
They're entering the fourth and reportedly final season of this "miniseries" on Friday, April 4, 2008. Think it's too late to join in the fun? Well, here's an eight minute treatment to get you up to speed. Sort of. It's fun, anyway.
Got it? Simple!
Yeah, I know. It was really eight minutes and about seventeen seconds. Don't throw anyone out an air-lock over it.
Frackit, Jim! Now I want to, no, I *need* to watch all of BG, and I have no idea where I'm getting a fix. It's not fair! Do you think some of those hallucinogenic herbs might help?
ReplyDeleteUhm, perhaps. That or a couple of DVD's...
