No big surprise here! Various media sources have confirmed that Battlestar Galactica is being renewed for a third season. The science fiction remake began as a miniseries two years ago but was expanded into a television series after meeting with acclaim and impressive ratings. Galactica continues to be the Sci Fi Channel's top shows week after week. In fact, 7 of the channel's top 10 most-watched broadcasts in 2005 were episodes of Galactica. With the renewal, the new Galactica will surpass the episode count of the original. In the meantime, the show is preparing to resume its second season this January after a mid-season break.

Honey, it was filmed in Australia and shown on cable. You have no idea what all you'll see on camera. Heh.

Not only that, but if you have a squick, Farscape will probably ping it at one point or another. Heh.

I didn't doubt it would, but the episodes so far have seemed so ridiculously self-contained (like, they start out in some place and I have no clue how they got there and something catastrophic is happening, and ta da, you have an A plot), I was wondering whether I could, you know, miss them and still follow.

I do have to say that Farscape did often start episodes in the middle of action that wasn't necessarily where the last episode left off. Also, there's not a lot of down time during the show - character stuff comes out in the action, and not usually in "life on Mora" bits.

By the way, haven't seen anybody mention it here - did folks know that AMERICAN GOTHIC had been released on DVD, including never aired episodes?

Dad and I are watching Farscape together and I figured, well, I don't want him to see stuff from one particular episode, but I've been watching more Farscape vids and I keep thinking...damn there's a lot more stuff I don't want to watch with dad.

I mean, Dad didn't like Firefly because of Inara.

So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that muppet sex is probably out?

Huh. Now I'm wondering if my Dad would be more or less offended by muppet sex than space whore sex.

I don't think my dad would be to offended by any of it - as long as it didn't invovle any of his family. However, I am guessing Farscape wasn't his show. But mom liked it.

My Dad didn't like Farscape because of Moya.

He couldn't stop rolling his eyes at the idea of a living ship for long enough to actually get interested.

Queen of Thorns does a mighty fine roundup of pretty SFNal men.

Well, that's... specific.

I liked Moya, and I wish they'd done more with her as a character.

My father's sci-fi tastes are generally pretty old school. And he compares everything recent to B5.

Also, he had a major attack of kids on the lawn with the new Doctor Who.

It makes me doubt his taste, but it's kind of cute.
