One More for Battlestar
A recent entry on one of the many blogs I read. I have no idea what the first one is, it’s the second one I’m passing along.
This weekend I stumbled upon two new obsessions.
1) Ra Ra Riot. I entered their sold-out show at Bowery Ballroom on Friday night a new listener and left a hardcore fan. The performance was incredible, the songs upbeat and catchy, and the band genuine. I found myself smiling the entire time, despite only hearing the songs for the first time.
2) Battlestar Galactica. Obsessed. Frooch and I watched the entire first season in about 72 hours. Before this weekend, and admittedly based on nothing but the name, I assumed Battlestar Galactica was some Star Trek-y, futuristic nerdfest. Now I realize that it is awesome. I find myself making an average of two Cylon jokes a day.
See, that’s the thing…people hear the name and think it sucks…they have no idea the depth of it…it’s really as good as Lost in many ways.

I admit that I judged it unfairly because of it’s name at first. I remember thinking it would be like naming Star Trek “The Flippy Flap Jack Hour.” Then I learned what the name actually meant and it made sense.
…and season one ha da killer cliff hanger…so to speak =) If you watched season 1 in 72 hours, wait till you get your hands on season 2, for crying out loud!!
Quick, go out and get it now… man that show RAWKS!!!
=)
I applaud your new obession…
Hehe, it wasn’t me =) The text in the block is quoted from another blog, I just posted it here because I thought it was cool. I’ve actually been watching BSG for a while now.
You’re not the first person to make that mistake, though, I suppose I should bold my introductory sentence or something!
Yeah, I just got a co-worker and his wife addicted to the show through the DVD’s…I got the Season 3 set…but, decided to loan the disks to them before I watched them all to make sure they can catch up before Season 4 starts next week.
Now, if only Time Warner had Sci-Fi in HD…that’d be tits…
Poo on Time Warner! I just noticed that Comcast added SCIFI-HD kind of quietly. Sooner or later Time Warner will come around…
