B-star

If you haven't seen the new Battlestar Gallactica, you should. Like NOW. Put the first and second seasons on your Netflix list asap. If you're not a Netflix user, go to your nearest Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, or BitTorrent, and get the freakin' videos. They ROCK.

I remember watching the original when I was a little kid. (Yeah, I'm that old.) I love how they connect the old series and the new. (Yes, they even thought of that.) The acting is sometimes goofy.... but come on... it's scifi. it's always cheesy from time to time. Ever read Dune? or Lord of the Rings? or I, Robot? I love all of them, but you have to admit they are cheesy from time to time. (btw - the I, Robot movie with Will Smith sucked... the book by Isaac Asimov rocked.)

Just watch Battlestar Gallactica. It's better than the pretty much anything else on TV... the only exception that jumps to mind is The Daily Show.
