Battlestar Galactica: The Son Also Rises

I hate the paint in my living room. Halfway through BSG I realized I was giving the paint a lot of thought. It’s this weird shade of toffee brown that the landlady picked out and it clashes with all of our furniture. Paint was more interesting to me than this episode, and it’s not even [...]

Battlestar Galactica: Maelstrom

Battlestar Galactica kills bad girls. If a female on BSG has an entire episode written about her, that’s a good indicator that she’s going to die. Kat died in the only Kat-centric episode of the series. Starbuck died in the Starbuck-centric episode. However, Helo and Admiral Adama didn’t get knocked off in their episodes. Helo [...]

Battlestar Galactica: Dirty Hands

Pink Raygun Demands Hot Cylon Guys!

BSG

George Dvorsky has pointed out that women tend to be bald more often in scifi than in any other genre. In some cases, baldness is a method of desexualizing women and making them more socially acceptable as heroes. In others, the baldness represents something else entirely. I think a more pressing issue is the state [...]

Has Battlestar Galactica gone Lost?

Lost-in-Space

When I was a freshman in high school I became completely obsessed with Twin Peaks. The internet was just starting at that time, and being a member of the Prodigy network, I used this new internet thing to search out bulletin boards (what we now call a forum, for all of you who aren’t old [...]
