I have a new religion.
And it somehow involves Patton Oswalt.
In this one post he summons up everything that's wrong with folks reviewing Watchmen, skewers fanboys while simultaneously being one and I discovered his taste in TV is close enough to mine that I'm going to attempt to tivo everything he recommends (hell. I'm watching 1/2 those shows already)
Laird take note of his review of Battlestar Galactica:
"If you've never seen a single episode of the show you need to break your femur, get laid up in a hospital for eight weeks, and watch the entire run on either iTunes or DVD. I'd love to see creator Ronald D. Moore take on Gene Wolf's BOOKS OF THE NEW SUN, Warren Ellis' PLANETARY, or Bester's THE STARS MY DESTINATION. Wow!"C'mon Laird. Hurry up and have some sort of malady that involves lots of downtime already.

Wow, that's more nerd cred than I thought he had!
jesus christ you BSG fanboys. good first season. second season, horrible. the end.
reason enough to not trust anything you say from now on and that's my new religion :P
seriously tho, one day i'd really like to hear what the hell was so interesting about that show besides Starbuck...
Point taken.
It gets very, very slow at times. At other times it races through such interesting quandaries as "is suicide bombing acceptable?" "What constitutes aiding and abetting the enemy?" "What sort of political bedfellows would you make to ensure the survival of the human race?"
Then, In the fourth season, Fonzie jumps over a frakking shark! It's awesome!
Seriously, you hated iron-man. Ergo: nobody cares what you think :)
Look at what you did, now I've got raisin bran all over my keyboard.
