Tonight is Sci-Fi night at our house. Enterprise and Battlestar Galactica.
Oh boy.
I am not a big Sci-Fi fan. I have been exposed to it by more than one male attachment.
I watched Star Trek, The Next Generation, while I was in labor (and on good painkillers) with my son.
Tonight, Enterprise is on. Then Missy Elliot's rip off of American Idol. Then Battlestar Galactica.
I'm not quite sure what Missy Elliot's show is doing in between there. Like it's going to draw the same fans?
Just in case, we are taping Battlestar Galactica. So we can watch it again.
(NOTE: I'm using "we" completely in the sense of the royal we.)
Hey! The NEW Battlestar Galactica is not the BS you remember from the 70's. It's probably the sexiest most gripping, gritty, Adult series on the air right now. They have taken something that was a good idea back in the day and turned it into something that has never before been seen on TV. It has a Sci-fi backdrop but it's very human, very real, and very intense. This isn't Star Trek by a long way...... it's way better than anything the Rodenberry machine ever dreamed of...and that's saying something from a fan! Don't judge before you screen it!

Blasphemy! Calling the original Battlestar Galactica BS!?! I adored that show. Starbuck and Apollo were dreamy. As a middle schooler I totally kicked Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb to the curb in favor of Richard Hatch. And of course as a teenage boy, Mark had quite the appreciation for Erin Grey from Buck Rogers and her tight white jumpsuit.

LOL Darr...BS as in BattleStar... and FYI, Richard Hatch is in the new one too ;-)
Whatever DID happen to Erin Grey anyway? I loved those tight jumpsuits myself!

Oh, okay. All is forgiven. I guess I'm just not up on all the hip sci-fi lingo and abbreviations. So Richard Hatch is in the new one? Hmmm, may have to check it out after all. As for Erin Gray, I remember reading a short interview with her several months ago, maybe on TVGuide.com or something like that. I think she does Sci-Fi conventions, so there's always that option for you! Here's what else she's been up to:

All I have to say about that is: Manfast!

Now wait just one damn minute! I went back to IMDB to look up Manfast and see what kind of snarky comment I could make, and lo and behold I see Jeremy Sisto on the cast list. I just may have to see if it's available to rent. But it does sound like a very stupid concept.
