I have not yet had an opportunity to express my opinions on the television shows I watch. So, here goes. Oh, by the way, here be spoilers:

Battlestar Galactica
I thought this had an awesome season premiere. Two hours of non-stop action and drama. It’s just so easy to get into it. The Cylons are still there; some people are helping them, and some people are resisting. After a number of “terrorist” attacks, the Cylons get pissed, and basically force Baltar to sign an order to have a large number of people the Cylons consider to be a threat executed. Basically, it appears to be anyone with a link to Admiral Adama. Included in the group are Roslin, Zarek, and Cally. They didn’t show many other people, but I guarentee you most probably have a military connection.

I don’t know about some people, but even though I don’t think much of Baltar at the moment, I think he did the right thing signing that order. I may sound extreme saying it, but consider…if he hadn’t signed it, he’d be dead, and the Cylons would just gone through with it, anyway. His imaginary Six is right…he can now live to fight another day. I don’t think Baltar wants the Cylons there any more than the other humans do, except perhaps his girlfriend there.

As for the resistance itself, while I agree with its purpose, I don’t necessarily agree with its tactics. While a suicide bombing will send a message for sure, it’s sure not the right way to go about things, even if the targets are not the smartest people in the world. But, that’s just me.

Alright, enough blabbing about BSG. I thought the episode was great, good production values as always, and a good story arc going on.

I’ll explain more about the season premieres of Statgate SG-1 and Atlantis in the expanded entry, as to not incur the wrath of those who have not yet seen the episodes. I have to say this though: I thought they rocked!

Haven’t talked about what I’ve been doing lately. Basically, been helping out at the store, and trying to get a job. I put in an app for Pizza Hut, but I need to call them, to see if they’ve even considered me. I’ve also done some work with a guy who does video production for a living. I’ve already helped him film a concert at Cheney Tech last month, and about a week ago, I help him out at a civil war reenactment in Massachusetts.

Other than that, and trying to get a new insurance card from Bluecare, I’ve gone swimming a few times, and to a couple family gatherings. The last was yesterday, to my Uncle Bob’s house in Rhode Island. As always, the rest of his property looks about ten times better than his house. The garden has grown in some more. He’s added a small bridge to the top most level of it. The water has finally come back in to regular levels, after they had to drain much of it last year. Taking advantage of when the water was low, and as you can see in the picture to your right, he added in a stone patio literally right on the water. Water surrounds it on three sides, and it has stone steps going from the driveway down to it. There’s also a nice little terraced garden alongside the steps. It’s very nice.

I’ve uploaded photos that I took while there today, mostly of the garden itself, so anybody who’s interested feel free to click on the photo to get to my Flickr account.
