BSG

[arguchik]

finished watching season 2.5 of BSG with glaucon last night. (i know, i know, my user icon is from the wrong series. but i have been assimilated, so it still fits. the borg also shares that man-machine dichotomy symbolism with the cylons, so thbbbbt!) damn. it takes a seriously weird turn. new caprica? a year gone in one episode? WTF? i watched the 10 webisodes this morning. they were ok. somewhat interesting. i guess they couldn't get too many of the principal actors to sign on for them, though, so they focus a lot on characters we haven't seen much of before--if at all.

oh, and katee sackhoff is fracking hot. ***mini spoiler alert***: i was very glad to read today that she cuts her hair back off in season 3 (which comes out on dvd when, exactly?). i hope that means she's going to get back to the serious busness of kicking ass, instead of continuing to moon after that pretty boy pyramid player. what's his name? sam? he's not good enough for her.

that is all.

(i'm off to finish organizing my bookshelves, then i have a pile o papers to sort through before digging into my dissertation this afternoon. where does all of this paper come from??? it is the bane of my existence, truly. anyway, i'm hoping to get a good chunk of writing done before my niece arrives--her plane touches down at around 5pm.)

What with no more Veronica Mars, and no new Doctor Who or Torchwood until Christmas, malafrena and I might just need to pick up BSG as our new TV show for a while. Sounds good.

it is good. very fine acting. hot ass-kicking chiks. action. drama. what more could you want? make sure you watch the whole miniseries before you start season 1 (i've seen season 1 boxed with and without the miniseries as its first disk).

and be warned: it's highly addictive, and you can only watch 2 seasons right now. season 3 is not out on dvd yet and probably won't be until early september. season 4 starts on the SF channel this year (january??).

oh, you did not say "fracking".

only in irony. because i think she accounts for about 95% of that word's utterances on the show.

"season 3 (which comes out on dvd when, exactly?)."

I'm telling you, iTunes was a (cylon)god-send.
