Winter is coming...

I don't think words can express adequately how excited I am about this new and insanely ambitious series: Games of Thrones, based on George R. R. Martin's book series of the same name. Could HBO be getting its mojo back...
Police mug shots reveal the effects of drug abuse

A new anti-drug campaign is being launched which uses police mug shots to show the effects of drug abuse. The before and after photos are indeed shocking. On the plus side, most of these addicts could probably find a walk-on...
Some New Battlestar Galactica Arcana Comes to Light

As disappointed as I ultimately was in the finale of Battlestar Galactica, I still maintain that it is one of the finest shows I have seen on television, and of the science fiction genre it is the best bar none....
Toy Wire

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it. (via Janice - thank you!)...
Star Trek Tik Tok Mash-up

Some total fluff to help you finish off your Friday: (via kottke of course)...
Unanswered Lost Questions

About to jump on a podcast with some friends to talk about the Lost series finale. The following video will serve as an excellent reference for our chat....
Pretty Good

Just happened to catch this before another show started. Not a regular watcher, but this was pretty good....
Ruminating and dissing on BSG's "The Plan"

I think what I miss most about "Battlestar Galactica" is talking about Battlestar Galactica. Luckily "The Plan" and the now airing Caprica has given me a few more opportunities to join my friends on the Galactica Quorum to do exactly...
Seth Macfarlane's Wonderful World of Disney

In the season premiere of Family Guy, one of the most creative shows on television, and honestly the only one that has the ability to make me laugh out loud, the show visits a parallel [Family Guy] universe in which...
Southland's Opening Credits

A television show that took me by surprise this past season was Southland, a Los Angeles cop drama. It is brilliantly produced, and has one of the best opening credit sequences on television right now....
Han Solo P.I.

As required by section 39 paragraph b of the Star Wars blogger fan code, I am obliged to reblog the following which made its rounds today: Thank you @calden and @markthink....
An Exercise in Cognitive Dissonance

If you want to see some great television, granted not of the ilk of The Wire, but that of just raw run of the mill entertainment, then by all means watch Susan Boyle on Britain's cross between Star Search and...
Revelations in Battlestar Galactica

Disclaimer: this post contains spoilers. While everyone else is no doubt talking about the season premiere of Lost, I want to talk about something that since its airing, a number of friends have asked that I comment on and write...
Why Family Guy is my new favorite television show...

Any show that can in the course of a 20 minute broadcast do a shot-for-shot parody of Spock's funeral in Star Trek: Wrath of Kahn, and then reproduce an entire scene from Anchor's Away with Gene Kelly and Stewie and...
Want to hear me rambling incoherently about Battlestar?

No. No you don't. Well maybe you do. Hell, I don't know. In case you do, you can catch me on a guest appearance of one of my regular geeky/guilty pleasures: Galactica Quorum. If you are a Battlestar fan than...
Sharing more theories on Galactica Quorum

If you haven't figured it out by now, I am a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica. Between episodes I get my BSG fix from a number of different podcasts out there, mainly Ron Moore's podcast and most recently the Galatica...
Who Baltar might really be

There is rekindled speculation about who the fifth cylon might be in Battlestar Galactica now that the series has finally returned for its fourth and final season. The season premiere gave me new reasons to believe that the hunch I...
Battlestar Season 4 Cast Photos

Arin has Pink, I have io9 -- which my friend pointed out is "Go!" upside-down. Anyways, today on my favorite Gawker blog I saw the new BSG Season 4 cast photos. Now normally I would just add something like this...
Super Bowl Ad Wrap Up

I, like so many other people I know, only watch the Super Bowl for the ads. And then last year it finally dawned on me that I actually don't have to watch the Super Bowl at all! Did you know...
Decoding BSG's Last Supper

Entertainment Weekly just released an issue featuring a two page tableau and poster made for the fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica. The image purportedly contains clues to the secrets season four promises to reveal. Arin and I always...
A Better Galactica Podcast

Last year I was on the hunt for a good Battlestar Galactica podcast. The selection was not the best in the world - not in grand scheme of podcasts, but there was one that stood out from the rest. Galactica...
"Its all about flloooowwww"

My friend Jim Ramsey just recently wrote an essay for A List Apart entitled Designing for Flow. In web design, when we think about flow we usually think about “task flows” or “flow charts” but there’s another type of flow...
What really happened to Starbuck?

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW If you are a Battlestar Galactica fan and you watched last Sunday's Maelstrom, then there is no doubt in my mind what you have spent at least a couple of days thinking or talking about what is...
I'm on Galactica Watercooler!

Not satisfied with watching Battlestar Galactica once on Friday, sometimes a second time on Sunday, and then listening to Ron Moore's podcast on Monday on my way to work, I took it upon myself to scour the Internet for additional...
This is a frigg..... in big ad.

This is a big ad. A frigg....in big ad. And it better sell some beer....
Battlestar Galactica Podcast Roundup

I have been holding off subscribing to the high recommended Battlestar Galactica podcast by Ron Moore for sometime, primarily because I think I would feel kinda stupid watching television and listening to my iPod at the same time. Stupid excuse...
