Is it October 6th Yet?

Watch this and you'll understand why!

This video makes me cry. I don't think I can wait until October. Film Faster Dang it!

If you haven't been watching the Science Fiction channel's new Battlestar Galactica series you are missing something wonderful. This isn't your grade school Battlestar Galactica with kids, stuffed robotic bears and cliches around every corner.

This is a whole new twist for the 21st Century. Its dark, its gritty, the characters are real, and have more baggage than Amtrak. The cylons? Well, they look human now. Is there one on your ship? And Lucy Lawless is amazing as one of the Cylon models hiding as a television journalist on one of the ships in the fleet. The Director call it a re-imagining of the classic.

For starters, there are many more strong female characters than there were in the first show; including Starbuck and the President of the Colonies. And the Cylon women will rock your socks off! Find out all that and more in an extensive wikipedia entry on the show.

Don't miss it, try it if you haven't. Seasons One and Two are out on DVD for reasonable prices, and the Science Fiction Channel will, no doubt, run more repeats.
