By now we've all seen how "Battlestar Galactica" ends -- what did you think? Like, love or loathe? Personally, I found the two hours to be a triumph as far as series' finales go.

It's hard to let an episode of Battlestar Galactica go by without saying anything, especially as the series only has a handful of episodes before it sails off among the stars (sadly, with no resurrection ship anywhere in sight). While I wasn't going to write about this past week's episode of Battlestar Galactica ("A Disquiet Follows My Soul"), which found the ragtag Colonial Fleet dealing with a number of internal fractures, from Laura Roslin deciding to stop treatment for her cancer, Gaeta...Read Full Story

This is pretty funny stuff that may only resonate with fellow fans of the new Battlestar Galactica Series. I have to say that the resemblances are uncanny: Ben Smith notes : Fans of the Sci-Fi show Battlestar Galactica have previously noted that John McCain looks like Colonel Saul Tigh -- a temperamental war hawk and ex-fighter pilot , who also happens to be a former P.O.W.
