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.

My only complaint

[jakeaidan.livejournal.com]

My only complaint in the series is the recharacterization of Starbuck. I don't care that he is now a she...but I do care about the new "tortured" persona.

The original Starbuck drank hard, gambled hard, and womenized because he was a fighter pilot. He felt his mortality and felt his life was short, so he indulged heavily. This new "She's indulging in excess to deal with the pain" nonsense is not nearly as good, in my humble opinion.

Almost everyone I know loves that, oddly.

Also, I love the interaction between Starbuck and Col. Tigh.

Glad you decided to drink the Kool-Aid...

Dude, Starbuck's sooooo going to get it on with the XO...and Apollo...and most likely the doctor...and if we're lucky, Boomer...

Though, gotta say, my favorite exchange has been between Tigh and the kid:

"Were's your mother?"
"Dead. Where's yours?"

Ah, such wonder...though I've gotta say, this series ain't gonna last long if they keep killing off people at the rate they're going...

No main character's been killed off yet!

But there's a lot of foreshadowing.

Well, there's that...but I mean the whole "There are only 50,000 of us left" thing. Cuz, what? They've lost *how many* and they've not even gotten to the fifth episode yet? Heee....

In the one episode where they finished with Madame President making a final tally on her white board at the end of the episode, I really hoped that they would continue that trend and end every episode with a new count of just how many people were left.
