My stump itches...
Every time the show makes a bad logical leap.
But I do like killing off characters.
And humans killing each other.
But not this show. And apparently, I'm the only one left on this blog.

Will it suck as much as Season 4?
Ron Moore, of BSG, has been hired to write the next chapter in The Thing, last seen attacking Kurt Russell in the frozen tundra.

It makes me wonder if it's going to suck as badly as Season 4 has been sucking.
What the frakk, people? Personally I'm just counting down the end like a 50 year old at home for New Year's who can't bear to turn off the New York ball drop and go to bed even though his eyes are falling, his kids don't care, and his wife has left him.
Uhhh, or something like that.

Silence=Death?
Guys - I can only take the silence since the restart of BSG as everyone's absolute disapproval of the new season.
Come on - monotheism?
The 4 revealed Cylons who have iPods implanted in their heads?
Kara Thrace going on a Starbucks run?
So much to scream about, and yet, I feel so empty inside.

The Isle of Lesbos, Quiznos style.
Did anyone watch Razor off air from Sci-Fi network?
And if so, was anyone else disturbed by the two plot point recaps sponsored by Quiznos?
"You just saw that Admiral Caine and Six were lovers. Brought to you by Quiznos. Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm." The other, less interesting plot point was Adama's discovery of the original hybrid program.
It was only afterwards that I realized there was some sort of online component to this weirdness. But it got me to thinking that this makes the writer's jobs so much easier. We no longer have to actually write scenes or plot points, just let the commercial sponsors include it in the advertising! It's the obverse of product placement in television - it's television content in advertising!
Imagine watching two hours of a taught murder-whodunnit, only to fade to black right before the big reveal. "Wal-Mart's open late for the holidays. Treat him right with this deluxe kitchen knife set for only $15.72. And his wife did it."
Wow, TV and movies will just be so much better!

OMG Razor!
The good news: The two-hour BSG backstory movie airs November 24th
The better news: We're watching it 12 days early...tonight
The not so good news: Season four has been postponed to April due to the writer's strike, and SciFi in their infinite wisdom (and desire to not let a cash cow leave them too quickly) may not air the second half of the season until 2009.
D'oh!
Time to get this blog going again folks...
