I'VE BEEN MEANING to order Battlestar Galactica ever since Virginia Postrel wrote that it "may very well be the best show on TV and is certainly the most philosophical." I don't know why I never did -- I guess the memory of the earlier, Lorne Green-based series from the 1970s (which wouldn't fit Virginia's description at all) got in the way.

But now James Poniewozik, writing in Time, ranks it his number one show of the year, and observes: "Most of you probably think this entry has got to be a joke. The rest of you have actually watched the show." Okay, okay, I give.

heh.


Glenn's post has links to his sources, so, clicky if you want further reading.

It's so much fun to watch people succumb to the awesomeness. When they're like, oh for christ's sake, fine, I'll watch it (jump forward a day)

Fine, I give, it's awesome. You win. Hee.

Sis,
One of the DJs on my local radio station announced the BSG DVD set release and followed it up by letting the world know he had no clue that there was a new series by making a Lorne Green comment.
I wanted to call in and tell him the what for, but couldn't get through the lines.
