Just so good

I can't preach it enough, so let me just say that the new Battlestar Galactica is just wonderful. Imperfect characters abound and even the robots are morally complex! The spaceships move like spaceships rather than airplanes in outerspace. And #6 is just about the hottest slightly evil brain chip manifestation that you've ever seen. The miniseries is available on DVD if you don't get Sci-Fi channel, and I think they rerun it on NBC sometimes(?).

And now, the question at hand: What do we call it for short? "Battlestar" or "Galactica"?

These are the truly important questions of our times.

I say, "Galactica", if only because we call Star Trek "Trek."

Galactica.

I love the visual approach to the space battles. I normally get bored with battle scenes, but they have this weird hand-held feel to it so I always know what I should be paying attention to, like I'm there and it's more exciting. I've never seen anything like it myself, but I really enjoy it. I think it's the best shot space battles I've ever seen. So much more in-your-face I guess, like a martial arts fight more than a battle.

Someone said they use that technique in firefly, so me and alex borrowed that from Liz.

It's stuff like this that tempts me to get cable/TV again...

Soon, Laurel, you will be immersed in the world of Joss Whedon. And you will enjoy it.

Or maybe you won't. I don't know. But Firefly's great.

Indeed I do. We just finished disc one.

I've still never watched an episode of Buffy though. Pretty silly.

GALACTICA.

That is, if we're putting it to a vote.
