Review – Battlestar Galactica

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

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.)
