Airlock Alpha, Bitches

Note: I figured I'd riff off Joe and title this post the new "way cool" "badass" name for the "Syf"y" website.

So I went to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. Anything you hear is heresy.

Battlestar Galactica is over. Or at least the main show is. The universe is going to live on in some TV movie and that Caprica prequel thing, but for the majority of people, this shit is done.

I've had something of a love/hate relationship with this show. Basically, I kind of enjoy the show and it weaves a good yarn, but it can get fucking boring and, at least for me, the later seasons seemed to make little sense and got away with murder because it's "critically-acclaimed" and "loved by all." The story just got more convoluted as it reached its conclusion, but to completley shift gears and complement the show, it actually reached a conclusion.

I admire that.

This entire 75 episode show (with plenty of webisodes and other excess) told a singular story from beginning to end. It had well developed characters. It had Edward James Olmos with a moustache.

And the ending's fucking awesome.

I think that ascent from being all "it's fucking boring" to "it's fucking awesome" truly shows off my love/hate relationship with it.

It was good. Let's hope Syfy can make another good show before it gets killed off by an angry robot who hates stupid fucking names.
