To Frak Or Not To Frak

bsg.jpg Now that the end is near, I ask myself, “Am I ready to put aside my hatred and watch this show?” I hated Farscape until well after it ended, then gave it a shot and ended up loving it (a little). However, Farscape had two things going for it that BSG does not: humor and Muppets.

I can’t help but wonder if I’d be better off just reading all about BSG on WikiPedia (another peevish thing of mine),

Why So?

Alright, I’m watching it. So far, the only reason I can think that Heath Ledger is getting so much praise is that he’s the only character of any substance in the movie. Perhaps things will pick up, but it’s not looking too good.

[Edit: Two very enthusiastic thumbs down! Total waste of time.]

[Edit Edit: Oh, lord. I just just checked the time and there’s a whole hour left. Maybe there is hope.]

[Final Edit: Nope. Also, Bale’s Batman voice is incredibly annoying.See Edit #1]

Obligatory Gate Post

I’m back from my annual tech conference…and just in time! Had the conference gone any longer, I might have missed the chance to see the sneak release of SGA’s fifth season premiere.

Overall, I’m pleased with the episode. I hate to see Carter go, but since I’ve been watching Voyager twice a day for the last couple of months, I have an appreciation of The Doctor Woolsey. What I do not have an appreciation of, is the nasaly, whiny doctor we are stuck with, Dr. Keller. Too much airtime for her and I may seriously cut ties with this show. That she made it as a series regular, when they let Weir go makes me physically ill. The episode was pretty garden variety SGA, but with some weird planetary shots that went on a bit too long. Seeing Caldwell is ALWAYS a treat, and the Ford cameo was just “awwww”. We’ll see how this season goes…

I need help

I finally watched Prince Caspian tonight.  I found it enjoyable enough, but after, um, about the third fight of humans versus humans, minotaurs, mice, badgers, etc., I actually said to myself, “This isn’t as believable as the first one.” NOT AS BELIEVABLE?!?

In what state must I be to think that a wicked ice queen, talking, resurrecting lion, and fighting, time traveling children are believable?

I need my head examined.
