Winter Hiatus

Ratz!

The time has come when the evil network PsTB slap us diehard fans in the face with nail-bitting cliffhangers and heidous season pauses.

I would like to meet the person who first came up with the "to be continued" idea- and (edited by Blogger net-smirk)

Anyway, must say I was quite please with BSG's mid season fianle . Although the overall episode was pretty predictable, it was actually a breath of fresh air. Instead of having my guts ripped out by some unexpected plot twist and my face subsequently slapped with the cruel time lapse, we were treated to another trilling entry in the RTF's saga. And we got a HUGE hint about the nature of the Cylons versus the Lords of Kobal. Because the plot advancement actually answered questions while laying the framework for future compelling drama, I can patiently wait for the return of the greatest show on TV without silently wishing locusts swarm upon RDM.

heheheeee

once again, this proves that the creative staff of BSG so far out shines any other tv/film production group that the rest of the players should run crying back to their classroom.

In the interim, I was able to check out the LOST substitute show DAYBREAK on www.abc.com
Man, that show was GREAT! Compelling, well acted, and appealing to my inner scifigeekiness.
I'm using the past tense b/c once again the IDIOTS in charge decided to cancel a 'thinking' show. I do feel a bit of guilt because I personally didn't throw any support to the show when it first aired. I was still fuming over the murder of Mr. Echo and the network was top on my hit list. Now I'm sorry for the misplaced fury.
Very sad that DayBreak won't get to see the light of tommorrow.

REC: even in it's partial state the show is still worthy of review. And since many of the epsiodes are available for free on ABC.com you should open up another browser window & go check them out.
Hey, maybe if they track a significant spike in viewers during these hiatus days they might bring it back !?!

Sub-par Smallville: please, somebody throw some dirt on this episode!

as a DIEHARD smallvillite, with still fresh fond memories of the season 2 premire TV party attended many, many moons ago, it usually takes alot for me to even THINK badly about this show. Not even season 4's Mulana stinkers swayed me away from unbridled fandom.

but last nights ep Subterranean

WHAT WERE THEY T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G???/??!!!/?///??????

I was QUITE disappointed in last night's episode. I haven't felt this ill towards an ep since last year's horror feast thirst / ultralana.

Ridiculous- illegal Hispanic immigrants who CAN'T even speak SPANISH. "necessitas adyuda"- my BAD spanlish pronunciation of that phrase is far more realistic.

Even the final scene showing an evil Lex grated- if he's got high powered meterfreaks under lock & guard- why are they in regular cells? Wouldn't at least one of them have significant powers that could reach out and nab Lex as he walked on past them?

If this is the quality of filler episodes needed to stretch the season out for another year then- GASP- I'm hoping for early cancellation.

The amber of krypton got a little dimmer last night

Galatica SMACKDOWN!!!!

and the returning champion Buckie the Spastic She-devil once again powered through not one, not two but THREE strapping studs!

total domination!

and in the far right corner- the two timing Billy killing terror got OWNED! reaping what you sow. sad but true.

episode was EXCELLANT as usual

funny realities:

Manaxoreia exists, and so does an ice cream eating dude crying over a dump job

the red shirt doesn't always die in the episode, but he sure will leave with a black eye

never underestimate the right hook of senior citizen

always listen to your teacher

and pirates STILL make the best officiates


heheheheeeeeee

ECW can only DREAM of a better match up


P.S. pulled from Audra's blog from the above URL

"Starbuck just depletes the men around her, uses them and takes off on her next adventure. We don’t get a lot of women characters quite like this in modern film and t.v., and I think the shift from an original male character helped make it happen. I wonder if we (I) look for reasoning behind Starbuck’s actions more because she is a woman, rather than just blowing her off as a selfish player, as we might if she were a guy"

I for one am glad for the opportunity to see this kind of role reversal in play. Not since the Angel One episode from ST:TNG have we been presented with a believable shift in gender roles that wasn't swishy and that lets us consider the potential underlying motivations at work in the stereotypical Cro-mag. The freeing of the atmosphere from traditional gender positions allows us to honestly consider that chauvinism, like racism, isn't just a one sided character flaw but an ugly blotch in the human condition. However, since both ultimately are just outward expressions of inner inadequacies there's hope for change.
And if not, well then somebody needs to tap the bell.
