Why yes, I am on a bandwagon.

I won't bore everyone with it, but I am on the Battlestar Galactica bandwagon.

So far...'tis amazing. I am happy.

Also, believe it or not, Enterprise has made a 100% change-of-course turnaround and has actually been good
this season. Well, some of the complaints people have had about the cast simply aren't going to go away, but
nothing can be done about that. But the horrible, awful direction it'd been heading...well, they've clearly
dropped all that.

Thank goodness.

For those of you who like Trek and are at least a little open-minded, it is worth a second try. For those
of you whose biggest problem was how the Vulcans were acting, they dealt with that in-character, and
told a pretty cool story while doing so.

I mean, if /I/ can stand it, anyone should be able to. ;)

Ah, but there could just be some kind of freaky 'support mate in his hobbies' thing going on. :)

BSG is teh hawt, though. I am very impressed, and I look forward to welcoming our new Cylon Overlords.

[merlinofchaos]

Maybe, but she used to leave the room when I put on Enterprise.

[evilmagnus]

She's learning to be more supportive? :)

[esmerel.livejournal.com]

No :)

I generally don't watch tv. I'm actually sorta interested in the current storyline.

...of course, most of brain used to leave the room when I put on Enterprise.

Apropos of nothing, you have a mythTV box, right? How's it working? I'm thinking of putting one together when we get out to Cali.

[merlinofchaos]

No, I have a TiVo.

I have a box with something custom that I've always intended to turn into a media player, but time/interest/equipment have always held me back.

Now software has advanced significantly, and I may consider a mythTV box instead of what I was going to do (custom software, because nothing out there does exactly what I want)

I know what you mean. It looks like MythTV may finally have enough neatness for it to be worthwhile - the built-in DiVX player is neat for me, and support for the Hauppage PVR-350 hardware mpeg2 encoder is sweet.
