BSG

Almost done with season three in Battlestar Gallactica. AWESOME!!!!
The study of humanity searching for a place to exist while in conflict with a vicious enemy is timeless, but they have somehow taken a new turn on it. You never know who is going to be a cylon next and who will be fracking whom.
I like the religious aspect of it because I like religions, but also because it gives the characters soul and makes the message timely. There are some aspects of it that seem to reflect current events of the Iraq war. Other episodes have touched on stem cell resesarch and abortion. They don't dwell and they don't get preachy. They lay out the facts, state their views, and move on by the next episode. Life goes on, but we learn lessons from it. Nice.
Looking forward to seeing season four; I'll have to wait awhile for it to come out on DVD. It's still playing on Sci-Fi network.
Looking forward to more Starbuck tonight.

Real-life Sci-Fi story.
While in Wal-Mart with BF. I see him standing staring at something. I walk up to him. He says, "Look at her tattoos. Look at the one on the inside of her arm." She was standing in line with her back towards us. She had tattoos all up her arms, and her boyfriend had those grommets in his ears. I wasn't quite sure what tattoo he meant, so he said, "That ship. Isn't that a Viper." As soon as he was saying it, I saw it. Sure enough, it WAS a Viper. She even had a Starbuck haircut and color. It was really cool, and that is a hard-core fan to be sure.
