Enjoyed BSG.. Loved the intro.. Had they kept going this route on BSG I think this show would have overtaken B5 by leaps and bounds... To me BSG will be one of the great Sci-Fi show...

Who is your favorite commanding officer?
My would be
1. Colonel Jack O'Neil
2. Captain James T Kirk
3. Captain Malcolm Renyolds
4. Admiral William Adama
5. Commander Adama (from the old BSG)

I am leaning towards Jack O'Neill because of the length of the his tenure and his fun loving personality. Reynolds and Adama (BSG) are a pretty close second. Kirk was too one dimensional and I never watched the original BSG.

Do you know if Eureka will be back on SciFi? I can’t seem to find any information about it. SciFi channel seems to cancel all the shows I like. Sigh.

I tried to sit through Dollhouse.

I just couldn’t connect with it. It was drawn out, dull, slow paced.

I finally gave up about 35 minutes in to it and turned the channel.

I read one review that said it would get better in the coming weeks. It lost me at week one.

My impression of the new BGS Adama has never been very high.

Early on there were indications that he was rather a flunky and operated his vessel and crew similarly. When the War happened, his ship was out of range (ie., out doing flunky stuff that it shouldn’t have been doing) and that was the only reason it survived. The ‘leadership’ of the surviving military was hoisted on Adama by default.

He always seemed more interested in taking care of the few close to him than in the overall security of the survivors.

I noticed the Prez had a board that had the number of survivors. It kept dwindling from around 50k to 45k to 40k. The final number I recall was something like 39k. That was a relatively high loss percentage.

Col. O'Neil. He was a riot.

Love the new Heroes season so far. It's building up to something really big.

Will be watching Sarah Connor on Hulu this afternoon.

Fringe sucks. And I haven't seen Sanctuary in a while. It sucks, too.

If I can add a commanding officer from a book, it would be Captain Hilda (sharpie) Corners Burroughs.

Mark
