I’ll extend to everyone the courtesy that the EW.com article did not extend to me – namely, I’ll tell you that if you click on ‘read more’ there’s going to be spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the whole series, but plan to, don’t keep reading. I’ll also offer up the sound advice that if you are in the middle or planning to start watching the series on DVD, don’t dally. Helpful friends will accidentally blurt things out that ruin the suspense, and mean-spirited individuals won’t blurt so much as Nazi-speed-talk spoilers at you. And, because many of the actors have since gone on to perform in other shows, half-witted writers will label said actors with descriptors that, also, ruin the suspense. Take the DVDs, crawl into the nearest cave, and don’t come out until you hit “Daybreak, parts 2 & 3.” (And, by all means, stop right here, unless you’ve already seen the whole thing, or don’t care.)

Review – Battlestar Galactica
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Without which not
Thursday, June 24th, 2010If you’re a Battlestar Galactica fan, you may remember that as the translation for the Latin-titled episode (8th in season 4.0) “Sine Qua Non.” And if you’re just getting into the series, or ever plan to, be warned – there’s spoilers and bitter commentary ahead.
Theory, Storytelling & Expectations
Friday, February 12th, 2010I’ve been busy, and Battlestar Galactica aired at odd intervals, so I missed it while it was on television. I’m only just now beginning to watch the series on dvd, and am trying (five episodes in) to understand why its viewership is split. I’ve heard die hard fans declare their boundless love for everything about this program. And I’ve heard disenchanted viewers lay down the two-part verdict: boring and depressing. Five episodes in, and I think I’ve solved the mystery behind these disparate views. I could be wrong – but that’s why I’m calling it a theory.
