Consider this claim: "BSG is just sadism. The writers have no goal in mind except to pull the wings off flies -- their characters."It's my claim, and I'm sticking by it. My justification for this claim is that if a writer is going to torture a character, it has to be for a good reason. God allows Jo...

" This is not going to be the ending you’re anticipating." That's the word from Ronald D. Moore, who's only one of the "Battlestar Galactica" folks interviewed for the cover story in TV Guide's new issue, which hits newsstands Thursday. (There are two covers for the...

Too much sleep last night, and how often do I get to say that? I'm groggy, but from sleep, not insomnia. Days off, I end up with all this random crap, instead of actual journal entries. Day like these, my journal entries must consist of the random crap that floats through my days, or they will consi...

The ship is creaking and cracking and not at all in good shape. It's practically crying in the background the whole time, it's eerie. Adama has another one of his breakdown tantrums (he really has those a lot), frustrated that the ship probably can't be fixed. Afterward, he decides to stop all repai...
