Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica
Chairboy writes "The Sci-Fi Channel has just announced the renewal of Battlestar Galactica for a second season. The creator of the show has announced that the second season will delve into the religious issues surrounding the Cylons in addition to opening up their society more. The latest episode had 3.2 million viewers, almost twice as many as watched the latest episode of Star Trek Enterprise." I said it before, and I'll say it again- this is the best Sci Fi program currently airing, so I'm happy to see more.
Honestly I was too much of a geek to watch TV untill I bought a HDTV. I was too busy on my computer to concern myself with my parent's past time. TV seemed too 20th century. But when I bought a HDTV, all of that changed. When I told my wife I was going to buy a HDTV, her reply was "But you don't even watch TV", which I replied with, "But it's High Definition" I started to watch enterprise when they started broadcasting it in HD here in Tampa FL last season and now it is one of my favorite shows. Now I am sure that all the programs on Sci-Fi Channels are great, but untill they start to broadcast in HD, I won't know. Currently my HD-Tivo record over 30 shows, all HD shows. I don't have time to watch all of those. So there is no way I will have time to watch any non-HD showes.
How good can it be, if it isn't HD?
I am an athiest, and I have often gotten offended by various religions, primarily the southern baptist door knockers that invariably come to my house on the weekends. While I agree that a lot of athiests go waaaay too far, you do have to keep in mind that religous folk can be so much more annoying than most athiests, and the religious folk that are content to let us "just live our lives". They feel the need to come to our doors, try to convince us that our souls are in danger of some eternal damnation, etc.
I remember when Starbuck was a sailor...
Hey, thats a good one. Prattlestar Galaxitive indeed. Chuckle...
Getting Analog out here in the toulies of WV does seem to be problematic though, I've not seen it on the stands in a good decade around here, and never got around to subscribing, which I shoulda. It may be on the racks at a downtown Clarksburg rag peddler, but I'll be damned if I have to go around there cause it seems as though the only meter you can find is busted and you cannot even put a coin into it, and its 3 blocks from where you need to go, but that doesn't stop you from collecting a ticket thats about 15 dollars now. Screw 'em and the camel that ride in on 'em. Typical example of howto run businesses away from your core downtown district by chaseing off their customers. WaldenBooks out in the mall doesn't carry it on the periodicals shelf. Which makes me a little sad as it was the best written and edited of all the sci-fi rags. And I don't recall seeing it at B&N either the last time I was in the one in GJ, CO.
Is it still around?
