Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!

Wow, AWFW is all pencilled! And it looks NICE! My boots, which I had not expected till February 28th, and my first dose of $40 Spiro is on the way. And I even got a Star Wars Figure on an Impulse buy. AND STILL HAVE CASH LEFT!

What a NICE day. :D

By the way - The new Battlestar Galactica debuts in the US tonight. Make sure to watch it, it needs all the ratings it can get. It's still poised (in my view) to not only push B5 off the "Best Sci Fi show of All Time, but shove it off that pedestal pretty hard.

That's a pretty big claim, esoecially for a remake.

A lot of people aren't going to be able to get past its roots. I already know of someone who recently found out Starbuck is a girl and spazzed fairly hard.

I stand by it. :)

Yeah, I know someone who simply refuses to even acknowledge the new show in any other way than "raping his childhood" and is (literally) violently against the show. Even _I_ wish they had called it anything but BAttlestar Galactica.

(He also went on an expletive laden diatribe against Star Trek Enterprise after watching 12 minutes of the program)

It's just a TV show, people. And it's damned good.

I got to see the first two episodes tonight. I can see the potential, but...

I don't know. I understand why it's being done, but the way they are jerking the audience around with the is she/is she nots (a cylon in one case, a figment of his imagination in another) seems extremely contrived, and it looks like they are going to push the limits of some of that fairly quickly.

I am, however, aware that you have already seen these episodes, so I'm giving them a chance to make it work.

At the end of the miniseries, we are specifically TOLD Boomer is a cylon, so there's no mystery there (which is why she was fingering the detonator in "Water"). The mystery is, does she KNOW she's one. There's a GREAT scene with her, Baltar and Cylon Figment of Imagination coming up that explores that.

Oh, and I consider Berman's Enterprise to be mindless entertainment that has nothing to do with the ST franchise or universe. I originally kept watching it only because I really like Scot Bakula and didn't want his career to tank over this.

Now, watching the actors pull stunning performances out of their ass to save tired plotlines and anemic writing is simply amazing.

Huh -this should be interesting - I've never seen Battlestar Galactica other than the episode you sent me last year. I'll try to tape it or something, I'm going out tonight :)

Hopefully you liked it. I wanted to warn you that it's not the same show, but, well...we all know how LJ has been.
