Battlestar Galactica premiered tonight, and my gods did they do it right. BSG took the current situation in Iraq and turned it around on us, hopefully opening up a few minds along the way.
Isurgents and Suicide bombers? Check.
Hated police force trained by occupiers to do their bidding? Check.
President as puppet of the occupying regime? Check.
Detainees held months without trial or charge? Check.
Robot/Human Hybrids? Check.
Well, maybe that last one isn’t as important. But that was a damn good episode, and a damn good premise. I encourage everyone to check it out on SciFi or iTunes. It’s worth the $1.99.
One thought I had: If Bush watched the show, do you think he would relate more with Baltar and the Cylons or Adama and the Humans? I have to wonder.

Oh my gods… I dread to think how many month’s I’m gonna have to wait before Sky shows S3 in the UK. And as for iTunes… we’ll be lucky. I think the US is the only place where you can buy TV shows and Movies on iTunes. The only video’s we can get are music videos and about 6 Pixar shorts.
Aside from vodcasts, there’s almost no point in having a Video iPod anywhere outside the US! And the only way I was able to watch ‘The Resistance’ was to download the ripped webisodes from GalacticaStation. Boy, you are so lucky! Glad you enjoyed the episode!
