Put The Gays In Charge

The Emmy's were unprecedentedly tolerable, thanks to alpha-gay host Neil Patrick Harris. When people receiving awards take time to thank the homo in charge for a job well done, one has to wonder: why aren't we in charge of more?

Harris pulled off the night with comedy and class; just watch the schmaltzy-turned-ballsy (and technically difficult) opening song he performed:



On another positive note, during the montage of "Drama TV in 2008," Battlestar Galactica was featured prominently. And people ballyhooed during it. Maybe one day scifi will be recognized...

Half Good, Half Awful

I finally finished watching Battlestar Galactica. I wouldn't have done it that way, but I get it. It could have been much worse; at least we got to see everyone (left) metaphorically (or physically) ride off into the sunset. But what bothers me is the writers' accommodation of apocalyptic cosmic karma. The whole plot of the show was fueled by inspired visions, a "plan," and "faith," only to have the hand behind it all be represented by nothing but "angels" with fewer answers and fewer morals than their ministered.

Any notion of a god left at the end of the show was all but meaningless, and seemingly purposefully so. The "one, true god" is a blind petty retard who hates being defined by a word, playing numbers games until something different than near total horror happens. Hell, with that position on a god, I'm a believer. BUT, the god can plan enough for apocalypse, simultaneous visions, inspired resurrections, chance meetings, miraculous signs, inexplicable births, and a black hole showdown all about 5 people and a little girl, even though this god still hasn't worked the whole plan out. Right...

I give science fiction a long rope with the whole "we are here for a purpose" pablum. Consistency is my only requirement, and that's the show's only failure. Instead, the writers used one end of my rope to strangle easy fundamentalists and the other to whip staunch skeptics and (science) atheists just to accommodate the pussies among us (and themselves) who choose the sit in the masturbatory metaphysical middle and hope--with nihilistic solipsism--that the universe has a plan for every human and atom. Other than death and dispersion. Again, consistency is all I ask. If you're going to have an intervening god with a "plan," don't cop out at the end and say that everything that happens is part of an unfinished, murder-filled gamble guided by sympathetic-yet-callous Pucks doing the yet-undecided will of everything.

For all they went through, those characters deserved a better god than that.

So to Ronald Moore: I'll take the sunsets. You can have your frackin' god and its half-ass, makeshift "plan." You don't know what it is anyway, and you wrote the gods-damn thing.

What's In A Name?

In a BSG webisode to air soon on SciFi.com, Gaeda and his Pegasus counterpart, Lt. Hoshi, are shown to be a couple, complete with gross-out gay kissing and stuff. Hopefully no stump humping though; that's just sick.

Trixie Ain't No Cylon

Sadly dead Deadwood's Paula Malcomson has been cast in a lead role for BSG: Caprica.

She is such a great actress, so I'm pleased. Let's face it, that cock-sucking whore cunt ran Deadwood.

Oh Dear...

Pegged My Geek-O-Meter

I saw this bumper sticker on my way out this morning and tried to take a picture of it.


It reads: gorram = frell x frack^2. Only in a NASA engineering town...

I want one.

Howard And Robin Love BSG!

I was listening to Howard Stern this morning, and Howard got an advanced preview of the BSG Season 4 premier episode. He loved it, and Robin was jealous that she didn't get one, since she was the one who got Howard hooked on it. They both claim it's the one of the best shows on TV.

As we all know...

I'm buying the 3rd season on DVD tomorrow, and will tape the new 4th season episodes on DVR for when I'm done. So, like ejp, I demand no spoilers.

At least until I'm more caught up than him. Then, let's taught the procreating fucker...

I love evil; why am I not a cyborg?

Good BSG News

SciFi has decided to pick up BSG Caprica, the on-again, off-again prequel pilot/miniseries.

All Will Be Revealed

It's coming soon,
I can feel it.
Season 4 on 4/4/8.
Season 3 is out on DVD. Must have soon.

Must...Have...

They also have Serenity/Firefly "travel" posters.

Adama Thinks The Gays Are Cool

Jamie Bamber will be in a GLAAD PSA during BSG: Razor. The gays are thrilled.

Battlestar: Razor

They knew they had to kill Admiral "Roe" because she would just take over. But she was so bad-ass that they had to bring her back in a interim story and release it on DVD. You can vote on the DVD cover, but most importantly - see outstanding clips.
There's a trailer as well.

Galactica - never enough.

Ronald D. Moore interviewed at Salon.

Am I The Last Person To Know About This?

Why don't you people tell me about these things? You better start justifying why I keep you around or I'll go find new blog friends.
