Wow. After watching this episode, I’m stocking up on duct tape and bottled water.
The team and their families find themselves in the middle of a poisonous gas attack. Chlorine is being released to the air through the water supply. Everyone in their town has to get indorrs, seal off vents, windows, and doors, and hope [...]
Yesterday I Wrote:
So, what’s left, and what needs to be done in the last episode:
explain why Hera is important;
rescue her from Cavil (probably) and provide some indication of how she will lead to a better future for humans and Cylons (alternatively, give us a dark, unhappy ending where she isn’t saved and a remnant of [...]
Update: My immediate reaction to the final episode is here.
With a single, two-hour episode of Battlestar Galactica remaining, I fear it is nearly inevitable that I’ll be left disappointed. Jimmy Akin provides the best explanation I’ve read of how the series got to this point, and how Ronald D. Moore’s writing process is responsible. [...]
I was tagged with this at Facebook, with the following instructions:
Think of 20 albums, CDs or LPs that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life; Music that affected you. Then when you finish, tag 20 others (or more), including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know [...]
In order to prod myself to write here a bit more regularly, I’m going to try regular episode blogging of one or more TV shows, starting with The Unit. This show is in its 4th season, and has never been a giant hit, but manages to get renewed every year so far. Produced and sometimes [...]

What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.

While waiting for that other story about killer robots to come [...]
I watched the excellent John Adams miniseries on HBO when it was first aired a few months ago, and it led me to want to read the book it was based on, by David McCullough. It also created a desire to learn more about — and therefore find a good biography for — Alexander [...]
This is a quick one.
I bought a Kindle in late July, and immediately fell in love with it. It is light, very easy to use and to read, and buying content is almost too easy — you really have to exercise impulse control. One feature that isn’t exactly a secret but that does not get [...]
A few weekends ago we took our 2 daughters to see Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. I’m not sure whether the movie is even still in theaters, so this review is late, but might be interesting to people once it is released on DVD. Our older daughter, 8, is a big American Girl fan. The [...]
