He is whacko.

Well, they don't give lots of details -- what was the last episode you saw? Because, of course, they left us with a big fat mid-season cliffhanger!

I saw an ep with the president running away from people, and another one with a female pilot under Starbuck's command getting hooked on some kind of drugs and then dying while trying to dock her ship on Galactica. I think that's about it, but I did tape most of the all-day marathon before Christmas, even though I haven't had the chance to watch the tape yet.

It might be better if I tape tonight's ep, watch the marathon tape, and then watch the new ep last.

[Edited to add whitefont--sorry! Didn't know if these were current season or last season eps!]

Ummm, yes. And should that have been whitefonted? Has BSG aired everywhere else in the world?

Also, one church has an anti-war sermon [link] and it gets a letter from the IRS warning that it's tax-exempt status is at risk.

Another church has endorsed Bush from the pulpit and has offered it's church as the site of a pro-Alito rally [link] and it gets over a $1 million dollars in grants for faith-based initiatives.

Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

FYI.

and then dying while trying to dock her ship

She didn't die.

(Whitefonting current season details.)

The Unexpected Pit Bull seems like a calendar that might appeal to a few buffistas.

I love it! I need a calendar here at work. Maybe I'll get that one.

But the cliffhanger left Apollo, Kara, Helo and the Chief all in jeopardy. Plus apparently, the Galactica is going to war with the Pegasus.

Sorry about not whitefonting--I went back and did it. As you can tell, I'm not too up on what's current season and what's last season, and didn't even get the details of the ep right (thanks Jessica!).

I only started watching because everyone here was so up on the show. I've managed to avoid the recommendations of House, GA, and SG1, though. Getting back into watching network TV is a big step for me--other than Buffy and Angel, I stopped watching the networks years ago until recently. Catching West Wing and CSI in syndicated reruns has got me watching most of the new eps, and of course I've been watching Lost since the first ep. Probably the most network TV I've watched since getting my own apartment 13 years ago.

Turns out, House is pretty entertaining. Well, except for the bits where I have to cover my eyes until the squicky bit is over. What's with that?
