New Battlestar Galactica - no spoilers.
I just watched the first episode, of the second part of season 2, that I had saved on DVR from last night. I have always liked it from the start, but that show just gets better and better. I didn't see that end coming. Well, at least the end that will be concluded next week. Earlier in the week, I watched the BSG primer on Sci-Fi. I knew that Jamie Bamber was British, but it never occurred to me about his accent. After listening to him speak, I'm impressed that he does such a flawless American accent. But then again, I grew up around Brits and sometimes don't notice British accents. Anyway, I hope that BSG doesn't peak early and then go downhill. __ ...speak your mind, even if your voice shakes... - Maggie Kuhn ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I like this new BSG too, and I never was a fan of the original, so that says a lot, but Sci-fi only cares about the same thing that other networks do: ratings. I liked the Invisible Man. I liked Farscape. Both of those series died before their time, so just hope that BSG's ratings stay up. Or better yet, make sure its ratings stay up by talling all your friends to watch. As for BSG's story, I can see where they are taking it, and I wouldn't be too worried about it peaking early and going downhill. If the story goes where I think it is, then there's lots of room for action and drama. One series that I hope wraps up in this or the next season is Stargate: SG-1.

Despite Ben Browder being one of my favorite actors, I think the series has had a good run and really needs to conclude rather than running it until it fizzles out like Sci-fi Channel seems intent on doing. - I saw the BSG mini-series (they actually ran it on AFN-Korea) and thought the show had potential. AFN also ran Season 1, but only for a station that shows on military bases, so those of us living off-base can't get it. I was hoping one of the Korean Channels would pick it up, but they haven't yet. They do show the Stargates. So, I asked for and recieved the first two seasons of BSG DVDs; I have something to do for a while. I only seen the first 7 episodes of Farscape; I borrowed the DVD pack from a friend. I rather enjoyed it. So I went to Amazon to see if I could get the entire season and saw the prices. WOW! Do they think they are Star Trek? Even in the military exchange the price is $89.00. I still may save my allowance . . . I also recently watched Season 1 of Atlantis. I really liked it--a lot! What a cliffhanger. Too bad they couldn't have found a better foe than a reace of Lestat's. One cool thing is that not all humans are getting along. The planet with Colm Meany looks to be a thorn in the Atlantis side for sometime to come. Looking forward to season 2.

I'm not saying that SG-1 could ever be as venerable as, say, Dr. Who, but I would love to see at least one show in my lifetime survive a decent secondary run with a new lead. The key here is, are the writers up to the challenge? (Slider's writers in a few key seasons certainly were not.) -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
