The end of the Battlestar Galactica TV series just finished, and it is a satisfying end to the most impressive piece of film SciFi (distinct from syfy, you audience-alienating douchebags) in years. I put it on footing with Babylon 5 and Firefly, my other two favorite SciFi TV series. Not going to spoil here, I usually torrent and watch later myself, and respect those who chose to. The thing that puts it above the rest isn’t so much the premise or plot (although both are good), it’s that the acting and writing and scoring (especially the scoring) is spectacular.
It’s basically beyond ruin at this point, even if The Plan (movie, tells parts of the story from the cylon’s perspective) and Caprica (TV series, tells the story of the creation of the cylons), the remaining two planned bits of the franchise are crap, it will still have been a great run, making it one of those rare TV series that is good as (far) more than background noise.

Making up very nearly the last piece of watchable SciFi currently running, (Stargate Atlantis ends in one more episode, Eureka is off indefinately, possibly back in July), Battlestar Galactica is back on. I almost never watch TV on TV, I usually get it later from streaming sites or torrents, but since I was avilable and some of the other people in the house were watching, I figured I’d do the live TV thing. Turns out it isn’t actually any more exciting than watching it later from the internet. That said, the show is still dark and novel, and probably the best thing on.
