a heartfelt request from me to the internet
Last night’s Battlestar Galactica is sitting on our DVR right now.
I wasn’t ALLOWED to watch it last night, since it was on at 11:00 and My Lovely Wife said she would be asleep unless I was watching it in which case her subconscious mind would alert her to the fact that “her Starbuck” was on TV and cause her adrenal medulla to pump adrenaline through her system thereby causing her to wake up suddenly and in all likelihood punch me in the stomach repeatedly.
Or something like that.
Whatever her reasoning, last night’s Battlestar Galactica is sitting on our DVR right now.
UNWATCHED.
So… Internet… I have a small request to make:
Please don’t tell me what happened.
And I mean, NOTHING. Not even coy little hints. Those are the worst.
Hell, even if Edward James Olmos breaks character, looks directly at the camera and says, “Jason Sweeney — a rain of frozen toads will crush you DEAD if you walk on Oxford Street at exactly 11:10 am on January 22, 2007,” JUST LET ME TAKE MY CHANCES. A RAIN OF TOADS IS UNLIKELY AND EDWARD JAMES OLMOS IS NOT A WORLD AUTHORITY ON THEM.
We are watching it when we get home tonight.
After that, feel free to spoilerise the episode for everyone else.
Until then, can you please just share funny pictures of cats or videos of guys getting hit in the groin with iPhones or whatever?
Thanks.
You’re the best.
UPDATE: We’re all good. Spoilerise to your heart’s content.
(Special thanks on the whole not-ruining-the-episode-for-me front HAVE go out to Walking To Do. Rock on, DecemberFlower. You get an eCookie.)

On Battlestar Galactica??!? [Rubs eyes in disbelief.]

so sween, what are you thoughts on the original battlestar vs. the new and improved?

You said it — IMPROVED. The old one — fond childhood memories notwithstanding — was filled to the brim with 70s cheese. The new one is SOOOOOOOOOO much better. It’s like they took a bare outline, a rough pencil drawing, and took that outline to make an oil painting masterpiece.
I can’t really go into details though, as my immediate memories of the new one are much fresher and detailed in comparison to the old episodes.
I did have some of the old toys when I was a kid though…

OMG you missed it? It was such an awesome episode! There was all this fighting and then some romance with that Erin Gray woman. Oh yeah - and then Twiki was all, “bee dee bee dee bee dee…”
It was so cool! Oh wait - that was on Buck Rogers in 1980. What are we talking about?

Oh, I saw that one.
You know someone — maybe MULTIPLE someones — have taken several passes at creating a “re-imagining” of Buck Rogers since BSG hit the airwaves.

Dude! I’m still on the season two DVD and Adama is still recovering from the gunshot wound—now I know he lives. Way to spoil it for me.
Unless… Adama dies, and Edward James Olmos comes back as a different character? The possibilities! I retract my accusation.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:12 am
Exactly! I didn’t say ADAMA, did I? Hmmmm? HMMMM??
(Whew. Got out of that one.)

Or…. he’s a cylon.
So, eCookies? Do I get to print them out and eat them or something?
January 26th, 2007 at 9:26 am
To paraphrase Roslin, if Adama’s a cylon, they’re ALL screwed.
Well. Except for the cylons.
And eCookies? They’re digitally delicious!
