Battlestar Gallactica - Best Show on Televsion

Ok, I'm a sci-fi geek, and I know it. But that doesn't make it any less true when I say that Battlestar Gallactica is the best show on tv. It's really amazing, and if you haven't watched it, you should. Go get it on iTunes or something.

First of all, it's not your normal sci-fi show with little plot substance and lots of geek factor. This is quite different. It's really a drama that simply occurs in a very real setting that just happens to be futuristic and in-space. But the drama is awesome.

It's SO intense. In fact, it's so intense that Soph and I don't watch it regularly. We record multiple weeks on Tivo, and we ask ourselves, "Do we have the emotional energy to watch this tonight?" Usually the answer is no, and we watch something way less involved. But then there are those nights where we say, "heck yeah, let's do it", and we watch like 3 or 4 episodes in a row. And then we're exhausted for another few weeks.

I thought we were the only folks who did this, but the more I talk to other people to watch the show, the more I'm discovering it's quite common.

All of this is to say that if you're not watching the show, you're missing out. I'm rarely this into a show, too, so you know it's really good.
