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."

    My favorite complaint about the series (I haven't seen it) came from a friend of mine the other day.

    "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.

    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.
