Slashdot Mirror
Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere
fanblade writes "As if slashdotters needed another reason to stay home on a Friday night, the 20-episode second season of Battlestar Galactica premieres tonight at 10/9C on the Sci Fi Channel. The series, a 're-imagining' of the original 1978 TV series by the same name, made history as the highest-rated original Sci Fi Channel program ever. The first episode of the second season, 'Scattered', won't be televised in the UK until October, but I seriously doubt that will be a problem for the show that 'killed broadcast TV'. There's also excellent coverage on Wikipedia for those eager to brush up or catch up on the first season."
"Starbuck is supposed to be a womanizing man, not a womanizing woman!
It's almost like they want us to download the torrent instead of tuning it to watch.
It works out great for me at school:
8:00 - SG-1 starts, sit down and crack a beer
8:30 - Commercials, order delivery for diner (mmmm dumplings), beer #2
9:00 - Atlantis starts, food arrives, beer #3
10:00 - BSG starts, throw leftovers in fridge, beer #4
10:30 - Commercials, change into 'outside' clothes / brush teeth, etc. beer #5
11:00 - Sci-Fi friday over, full stomach, nice buzz, ready to hit the town
All in all it's not a bad routine for a friday, not that much in the party scene at school gets going before 10:30 - 11 anyway.
That night in 1978 that Battlestar Glactica premired, they were showing the movie King Kong on another network. It was a very big night for tv when I was kid. But then disaster struck:
They interrupted both shows because Isreal and Egypt were signing a peace agreement. And my mom sent me to bed.
Egypt and Isreal had been fighting for hundreds of years... couldn't they have waited one more day? Think of the children.
don't know what I will do without Richard Dean Anderson's (Jack O'Neil) comedy :-(
It's O'Neill. Two L's.
That depends. Is your fiancee a robot?
And if so, does she use her powers for good or for awesome?
