In the newest installment of the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica, director Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) takes the story of Cylons and gives it the 2-hour treatment. The Cylons, as any connaiseur of sci-fi will know, are robots that Humanity created as servants. After rebelling, they disappeared for 40 years before coming back to wipe Humanity off the face of the galaxy. Additionally, they no longer look like robots but have skin and bleed like Humans.
WARNING: Spoilers abound after the break. Do not read unless you have seen The Plan or *at least* all four seasons.
Quick rating (before the break): 4/5 if you like Battlestar and want to see things resolved, 2/5 if you are only half-engaged and want more food for thought/questions asked. Continue reading

Sorry that today’s post isn’t more substantial, I spent much of the day helping a friend move.
So I’ll leave you with this video, nay naught but a link (embedding be-eth disabled per request)
To Darkness All
It’s a Battlestar Galactica mashup looking at some of the darkest moments of humanity in BSG. Spoiler warning.
The name comes from a verse of Caprican poetry quoted in one of the episodes which I am disappointed is not actually in any work:
“From the darkness, you must fall,
failed and weak, to darkness all” (the Caprican poet Kataris)
I just think that line embodies Battlestar Galactica. I’m currently, by the way, going through a withdrawl as Pushing Daisies (my other series) is over and my next Battlestar fix isn’t until November when Sci-fi (and SPACE) release Battlestar Galactica: The Plan (2 hour movie that portrays the series from the Cylon side), and then that’s all until Caprica rolls out in early 2010 (I saw the Caprica pilot and fell in love. Be warned, however, that it is very explicit – but not gratuitously)
And yes, I plan on doing something with my Portfolio section.
