My mother loves the old Battlestar Galactica.  This is something my family makes fun of her for.  I cannot understand my mothers fascination for trashy cinema or literature for that matter.  She is smart and intelligent, but she loves it.  She has a shelf full of neon-coloured detective novels, the kind you see in airport bookstores and cornerstores.  How bizarre.

But, I am her child and from time-to-time I follow in her shoes.  The new Battlestar Galactica is amazing.  I am a total sci-fi nerd.  I love Star Trek, but I don’t really like Star Wars.  I can’t think of another sci-fi show that I like more than Next Generation, but BSG might be better.  The 360, real space-like flight/battle simulation is like none other.  The story line, from meta power struggles to micro personal issues and large philosophical debates with good, bad and inbetween all playing off each other makes it is the best drama I have seen in a long time–plus there are big explosions!

If you need a show to pickup this season, I would suggest Battlestar. 

Edit- I know a website you can watch entire seasons (of a lot of different shows, including BSG), if you need a place to start, just email me.
