it happened. i promised myself it wouldn't, but it did. i became a fan of 'battlestar galactica'. after all the critical praise it has gotten over the years, i gave it a try a year or so ago, but wasn't impressed. the dense storylines and hard to understand mythology were too much for me. i watched about three episodes and gave up.now with the new season starting my curiosity was peeked once again. seeing all the ads for it during 'stargate atlantis' and 'sanctuary', and constantly hearing of its praises in different magazines and online, i decided to give it another go. this season opener they were going to reveal who the final cylon is. big deal, right? i agree, but it was enough to entice me to give it another go. and wouldn't you know it, the sci fi chanel just so happened to be having a twelve hour marathon leading up to the new episode. i fired up the tivo and recorded them all. i started with the two part finale last season, and then it got me- i was hooked! the intricate stories of the last humans trying to get back to the mythical planet 'earth' sucked me in until i needed to know who the last cylon was! they got me, those sneaky weasels! i blew through the next ten episodes in a matter of days until i finally got to the season premiere where they finally revealed who it was. i was shocked- actually i wasnt, it was more like 'so, who's that?' like i said, the story is dense. but now with only nine episodes to go in this final season, i have to see how their journey ends. i wont be going back and watching all three seasons i missed, it actually adds to the fun confusion by not always knowing what they are talking about...
