It doesn't help that my brother-in-law and his friends are Trekkies of the first order (when an adult seriously tells you that "Star Trek changed my life" you know you're dealing with someone with only the most tenuous grasp on reality - but as he worked in IT I should have worked that out earlier).<br /><br />I also rather enjoyed "Firefly" and was disappointed when the show was canned after one series - that also featured an actress who makes me stupid - Morena Baccarin - and one of the best fight sequences ever in the movie:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoMpau_B2Io<br /><br />I picked up the next couple of series of BSG cheap from Amazon - so I may well be boring my wife stupid with it (who doesn't really get it).LittleArmieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05633965168690644134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545942837132870291.post-59408523277834376502013-06-02T13:48:22.519-07:002013-06-02T13:48:22.519-07:00That's a great piece, Malcolm.

BTG is terrific - I was hooked on it 3 years ago, but then fell behind, and caught up with it again when on paternity leave in Feb.

Excellent show and some surprising actors turned up too. <br /><br />I understand Ms Helfer was brought in primarily as eye candy, but turned out to be one of the strongest actors in the series. Good for her.<br /><br />:O)GaryAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06963552380378929829noreply@blogger.com
