Ok so my dad has me doing valve-work for the month of August. It sounds really sexy and glamorous but I’m assembling valves at 3 bucks a valve, it’s easy and I sure could use the money. Anyway, I can watch TV while I do it so I started watching
Battlestar Galactica as I’d heard it’s the sci-fi show that makes all the nerds cream their drawers. I grew up on
Star Trek: TNG so I figured this shit would make a nice background to my grunt-work.

I’m a few episodes into the second season and I have to admit despite a slow start I’m pretty hooked. Captain Apollo is like the sexiest thing in uniform I’ve ever seen, and he’s British in real life; something about that sexy physique being attached to an accent makes me quiver. Holy shit Starbuck is the sexiest lesbian on TV, I can’t believe they’ve stranded her on Caprica at the moment, it’s pissing me off. I want that space cowboy shooting the shit out of Cylons in space pronto ok.

I really felt for Cylon/Sharon and her struggles with humanity, the episode where she’s martyred and shot after basically giving up everything she had to save the Chief, I was touched. And while we’re on the subject of Cylons, I have to give props to head bitch in charge: Number Six. That crazy bitch has me laughing every episode along with her partner in crime Gaius Baltar. Those two are the best evil duo on television at the moment. The women on this show are surprisingly well-developed and fierce, President Roslin is just an awesome counterpoint to Captain Adama; I love their head-butting. And Colonel Tigh’s drunken wife is the only thing that makes his storyline bearable.

But I have to say I laughed pretty hard at the behind the scenes commentary where the production team patted themselves on the back at how innovative the show is. I mean I agree the realism they’ve tried to bring is pretty on-point and fresh, but some things just can’t change with sci-fi shows. Like for example if an Away Team go down to a planet and some new character suddenly has a name and is interactive with series regulars you just know he’s gunna die. I mean those are the fucking rules of space TV.

Oh and PS, Crash Down was seriously fucking hot why’d he have to die?!
