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. Sure, there were about 8 million endings, but with so many loose threads to be tied up, what could they do beyond killing everyone and calling it a day?
And while I am still unclear on exactly what Starbuck was -- angel? -- the resolution for President Roslin was crystal clear, and beautiful. After checking out... Read Full Story
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

Why she ends up at Seattle Grace and who she'll be working with is still... 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. And, as Jonathan Last notes , Sarah Palin looks like a young President Laura Roslin -- the former Secretary of... Read Full Story

Come on she is the leader of the free people. Well kind of the free people. Her character has been powerful from the start of the show and she has just maintained her presence throughout. As far as being an actress at one point and time she was definantly a sex symbol. I have watched plenty of clips with her showing off the overall sexiness. Of course all this was back when she was much younger, yet she is still has a hotness... Read Full Story
Fine, taut episode of The Closer last night, with Mary McDonnell, fresh from her role as the late President Laura Roslin on Battlestar Galactica, right in the face of Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick), and the Deputy Chief of course giving it back as good or better than she gets. The confrontation is about Capt. Sharon Raydor's (Mary McDonnell) investigation of Sgt. David Gabriel's shooting of an unarmed man. We the viewers saw the flash of fire that Gabriel was responding to... Read Full Story
