   I liked the minis­eries. Star­buck as a woman with the whole sex­u­al ten­sion thing with Apol­lo was a lit­tle weird (pic­ture Dirk Bene­dict, Richard Hatch and bad 70’s pr0n jazz), liked the navy-ness of Galac­ti­ca, and liked the tie-in to the old series — the old vipers, etc.

   I thought that the minis­eries had all the right ingre­di­ents and then they went and did­n’t do any­thing with it. It made a good teas­er to make us want to see some actu­al Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca episodes, but it did­n’t stand on its own very well.

   It’s fun­ny how almost every sci-fi series starts out with seri­ous mil­i­tary pre­tens­es, and then by the end of the first sea­son every­one’s lean­ing around drink­ing beers on the bridge. The orig­i­nal Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca always had some ten­sion between the mil­i­tary and the civil­ian pop­u­la­tion, and that was one of its (few) strong points. But even still, rarely did any­one act like there was an offi­cer in the room, because hey, the CO was Dad and there’s sis over there at Ops.

   Vipers.… yes, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Of all the ships in sci­ence fic­tion, the one I’d most like to have a chance to fly would be the Viper. What a per­fect design. X‑Wings, ugh. Run­abouts or shut­tle­craft from any of the Star Trek series? yawn. Vipers were *it*

   The Cylon ships were pret­ty damn cool, too.

   I see the new series has Don­nie Dark­o’s mom as the President.

   Guess we’ll be see­ing lots more of her at con­ven­tions, etc.
