Wedding Notes: March 20

Hung out while Kate got her nails down
Checked Kate into the hotel
Got some advice from the impending father-in-law
Had the rehearsal for the wedding
I got to the rehearsal site and half hour early and relaxed alone. It helped a lot with the stress.
Kate was late to the Rehearsal. I made jokes about her heading to Mexico
Had the Rehearsal dinner at the Tied House
At the Rehearsal dinner the distortion of time field started. It went very quickly.
Watched Battlestar Galactica Series Final.
Slept in my broken bed alone

Great Television is back.

Battlestar Galactica started season three this week. It lived up to the hype. I was interested on how they would pick up after that year's finally and I was pleased. I am not going to give anything away in case it is still waiting on your TiVo DVR to watch.

I just want to point out the Battlestar Galactica webisodes. If you have not watched them yet, go watch them. There is a nice story line that covers the time between season 2 and season 3. It answers some of the questions you might have when you watch the premiere.

Here is a list of shows that I am excitied about this season:

Battlestar Galatica
Lost
The Nine
Grey's Anatomy
Jericho
The Wire
Doctor Who


Other Shows I watch:

Cold Case
CSI
Law and Order: Criminal Intent
Simpsons
Family Guy
Metalocalypse
Venture Brothers

Tell me if I should be watching anything else.

Battlestar Drama

I just got done watching the Premiere of the 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica. I was just floored at how good it was. It was the second half of a cliffhanger from the end of last season. The show was not full of action, but it was amazingly written. By the end of the show my jaw was just hanging open. I could not believe the kind of risks this show is willing to take.

I think that Battlestar Galactica is the best written show on television. It is the best written science fiction show in at least 20 years. I think the writers understand how to use conflict. It is not just the Cylons that provide conflict. There is conflict just trying to survive. Many times we are own worst enemies.

I wonder if there are science fiction fans that do not like this show. I wonder if you have a different idea of what science fiction should be. I wonder if they want this show to be more like Star Trek or Star Gate. I watch the new Battlestar Galactica and it seems much more adult then those shows. I think that a lot of science fiction shows get too caught up in the mythology that the show creates. I think that became the downfall of Star Trek. I wonder if I am the only person who thinks this.

I think that anyone who likes drama on television should watch Battlestar Galactica. I do not think it matters if you like Sci-Fi or not. This show is worth your time. I think this show is just great drama. It is worth anyone's time. Of course this is coming from someone a couple TiVo DVRs.
