I WILL NEVER WATCH THE NEW Battlestar Galatica. Never, ever, ever. Not in a plane, not using a cane, not riding a Great Dane...

Purists will remember that there was an ORIGINAL Battlestar Galatica - the REAL Battlestar Galatica with STARBUCK (yes, STARBUCK) who was HOT and a RIDE AT UNIVERSAL STUDIES THAT MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE IN THE SHOW. I may have been young, but - OHHHHH - I remember.

You can BITE ME "new" Battlestar Galatica.

Is that show still on?

I just rememberered her name - Tricia Helfer.

I watch very little TV and usually avoid the shows that everyone talks about. (I have never seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway, American Idol, or Desperate Housewives in my life.) But I LOVE Battlestar Galactica. It's intelligent and by far the best written show I've seen yet. Ever.

That said, I don't think you'd like it. It's dark, and it's very political. And it's still sci fi. Not what I picture for you.

Because American Idol really really really really (did I mention really?) sucks this season? And because of the writer's strike, all the hastily scrambed together goop that is currently sticking to our collective TV sets via the soon to be less congested airwaves isn't worth the ragpaper the TV guide is printed on?

Or maybe it's because some folks have a Cylon fetish.

I don't know.

Personally, I don't "get it." Plus, it has that horrible Canadian model in it - she hosted one cycle of Canada's Next Top Model and she's so lame I can't even remember her name. For her alone, I will not watch BG. (Her name will come to me as soon as I hit Post below.
