Remember Battlestar Galactica? Edward James Olmos hopes so

battlestar-galactica_lThe final, milk-it-to-the-last-drop coda of Battlestar Galactica will be released in November. Actor and director Edward James Olmos made an appearance in an L.A. Times interview regarding “The Plan” and why he thinks you should really check it out.

“I gotta tell you, not to give anything away, it is exactly what you think it is. You see the complete opposite of the first 281 days of what we went through, … seen through the eyes of the Cylons, and it is breathtaking. It’s fantastic. It’s not fun, but I will say that you will sit there [gasping].”

As much as I loved the premise of the show, I have to tell you I’m not really excited about watching more. I thought that the side-story of Razor was a giant stinkbomb of trying to turn minor, two-dimensional characters into top-tier pieces of interest, and I fear the same thing will happen with “The Plan.”

But, Sci-Fi has me by the FTL on this one, I’m afraid. I guarantee I’ll watch it. I just hope they don’t sully the rest of the series too badly with this final release.

Thoughts?

Oh, and regarding that thumbnail out front, GeekBot automatically crops them that way, and I have no say in the matter. Promise.

It should be noted GeekBot analyzed every image on the Internet and cropped out parts deemed by the whole of humanity to be irrelevant. GeekBot dedicates an incredible amount of time (7/97th of a second) and inordinate amount of computing power (five billion gigaquads of RAM) to each an every thumbnail image posted on this digital temple to the folly of man children.

So if the Josh wishes to blame a particular entity, perhaps it should direct its gaze upon its own bloated, H1N1-variant-swine-flu-riddled corporeal entity and leave GeekBot the hell out of it.

And if the Josh mentions GeekBot one more time, then GeekBot WILL END YOU.

Have a Nice Day, or Die Trying™

I’m going to give this one a miss, as I did Razor. I don’t want to see how the Plan was carried out. I only need to know that it happened, as a setup for the show. It’s sort of like how, imo, we didn’t need The Silmarillion – it was better serving as a kind of backdrop to the later events of LOTR.

I remember Battlestar mainly because of this…

Mm…daddy like. How about a prequel where the Humans and Cylons try to settle their differences by having hot chicks mud wrestle?
