I previously posted an initial review to the series finale.  But at the time, directly after watching the episode, I didn’t have my thoughts together on how to talk about it.  I’m not entirely sure I do now, but we’ll give it a shot.  Below are the notes I took while watching it for the [...]

I realize I am woefully behind in covering the series finale, and I apologize for that.  I spent the beginning of the previous week getting wrapped in Star Wars goodness, and then the latter half of the week and this past weekend helping to take care of a sick kid and getting sick myself.
I promise [...]

Don’t forget that the lovely Tricia Helfer will be guest starring on tonight’s episode of Chuck.  As far as I know, she’ll only be in this one episode, so you don’t want to miss it.  Chuck airs on NBC at 8pm/7c.

I only listen to one TV podcast (other than Ron Moore’s), and that is the one put together by the bloggers for GiveMeMyRemote and DuckyDoesTV.  Together they do hilarious podcasts.  I don’t even watch all the shows they discuss, but I enjoy listening to them share their opinions, especially with their weekly segment “Two Idiots [...]

Good news: No tears
Bad news: I have no idea what to think about all of this.
Sure there are the obvious high points: Helo not dying, the humans finding a happy ending, awesome effects and battles.  And there are the obvious heartbreaking points: Laura’s death and the fact that this is all over.  But for all [...]

The following is a message from Ron Moore posted on the Sci-Fi forums by Mrs. Ron Moore.  I really tried not to tear up when reading this.  It didn’t work.
I don’t want this day to happen.
I want it to be rescheduled, rethought, removed and recalled.
Tomorrow the story will be over, my tale having been told, [...]

A warning to you and your DVR: not only does the finale start an hour early tonight (9/8c), but it’s going to run for two hours and eleven minutes.  Make sure your recording devices are prepared for that.
For me personally, I’ll be using a welcome home party for my friend’s husband (he just completed a [...]

The LA Times has posted their version of the Battlestar Galactica drinking game.  They strongly recommend you use faux ambrosia for it (Gatorade) if you want to be conscious after watching all 70 hours worth of episodes.  It’s pretty funny, so go check it out.

It’s that time of the week-–picspam/recap time.  As usual, behind the cut you’ll find pictures and text showing you what happened last Friday night.  And as usual, it won’t be dial-up friendly.  Hope you enjoy these.  Here comes this week’s edition:
