I previously posted about my favorite new sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica. Well, the season premier is just a few weeks away, July 15. To bring everyone up to speed, the SciFi channel is showing a marathon of the complete first season next Wednesday, July 6. The episodes start at 10am/9Central. If you missed this show the first time, now is the time to set your Tivo/VCR to record the season. I’m excited that I’ll have some TV show to look forward to during the summer. Check out the website for Battlestar. There is lots of extra content including episode summaries, Podcast commentaries to listen to during the episodes, etc.
By the way, I’ve been watching season 2 of The 4400. This is another intriguing sci-fi program with plenty of political undertones. I’m sorry I missed season 1 but the show has done a good job of recapping the highlights, so I don’t feel left behind. I’ve also been watching Into the West, a mini-series capturing the drama of the settling of the American frontier. It’s been fun to watch.
I believe the Scifi Channel is showing a marathon of the 4400 on Sat July 2. So you may be able to catch the first season . Its only about 4 episodes i think. Amy has been watching Into the West and has really enjoyed it. I will probably catch them later. I’m looking forward to the return of BSG, SG-SG1 and SG-Atl. Right now these are my favorite shows to watch. I usually tape them and watch them early Sat while everyone is still sleeping. This way I don’t get interrupted by “little hands” or Amy saying how stupid the show is. (I do this to her when she watches her Soap Operas so she does owe some payback every once in a while.)
I actually setup my PVR to catch The 4400 marathon on Saturday. I was surprised at how few episodes there were. I thought it was a mistake, but I guess it was just a short pilot season. I’m looking forward to catching up.
