Time Names Battlestar Galactica Show Of The Year
szyzyg writes "Time Magazine's Television Critic James Poniewozik has put Battlestar Galactica at the top of his list of the Best TV Shows from 2005. His summary starts off 'Most of you probably think this entry has got to be a joke. The rest of you have actually watched the show.'"
Attention authors of lesbian slash fanfic, that is not an invitation to depict... or is it?
I'm surprised that neither Stargate SG-1 nor Atlantis are on the list.
Personally, Stargate beats BSG anyday.
I'm sorry, you must have this website confused with a different one. This is slashdot. People need to actually get wives first for wife swapping to be of interest to them.

I wonder when the six million dollar man remake comes out?
We can rebuild him.

"...and haven't watched ER in a couple years at best."
Queen Elizabeth has a TV show now?
Bill Clinton: Pimp we can believe in. - The Shirt!!!
Dude, you were thinking "Wow, Erin Gray in spandex", just like the rest of us one handed Buck Rogers watching 12 year olds.
...my girlfriend called me a dork for ditching her to watch battlestar galactica. i said, "you think i'm a dork now? just wait until i start a friendster group dedicated to battlestar galactica where i'm the only member!" so that's what i did.
long story short: i can feel battlestar galactica's ownage with all of my body. yes, even my pepe!
I'm with you. I didn't even want to see the new BSG when I heard about it. The old one was cheesy enough...sure, I liked it as a kid...but the original Dr Baltar INVENTED the notion of a cliche villan. So, my sister-in-law talked me into watching the rerun of the pilot episode and I fell in love with it. I haven't missed an episode since. I totally dig that Starbuck is a woman.
Six Million Dollar Man remake though? Uh....no thanks!
With inflation the way it has been since the "Six Million Dollar Man" was aired, it would need to be the "60 Gajillion Dollar Man" to have the same impact. Otherwise, you'll have a show about a guy wearing a Mens Warehouse suit who had knee surgury and a facelift...and drives a Hummer. Those guys are a dime a dozen these days.
Give me an underdog....I want to see the "28 Cent Man".... A guy who saves the day...every day from his secret lair (refrigerator box) in the alley behind a supermarket. He doesn't have nifty gadgets....he's got a pink backpack with only one strap and a pickle jar (no, that isn't a pickle inside), and a torn zip lock bag filled with cigarette butts. His secret weapon? - Halitosis and Lyce.
"Lame" - Galaxar
... and it only took them 3 monkeys with typewriters.
I'm sure the suits look at that and say: 'cost effective'.
"And after watching the original series again for the first time in over 20 years, it wasn't nearly as good as I remember"
Someone on a mailing list I used to be on summed it up like this:
New: Run away, they're right behind us!
Old: Run away, they're... oooh, a space casino!
Ok, this is Slashdot so we know the story is false. You watch BSG and post here...and have a girlfriend?
Next time try something more believeable, pal.
Weaselmancer
rediculous.
You're right. Clearly his time is much better spent replying to posts about a TV show on slashdot.
Unless you can find someone willing to swap their wife out for a full set of Magic the gathering cards.
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
Lloyd Braun!
Do you think hes sitting at home muttering "Serenity Now"?
So, I've only watched the first season so far. Or most of it anyway. For those of you who've seen all the episodes:
Have the humans figured out that if you want to find out if someone is a cylon they can exploit the cylon's major design flaw? You just fuck them doggie style and see if their back starts to glow? Or do they fuck "ride 'em cowboy style" in every episode? Is that how much life in the future will suck? No more doggie style? Then the future humans deserve to be killed off by the cylons.
Anyway, the cylons don't seem like a real formidable enemy, if they designed themselves to be undetectable in every way except, oops, the massive glowing red virgin alarms embedded in their spines.
