2 - I've never seen Battlestar Galactica
Accomplice: Mrs. Piper
I'm a bit of a geek.
In some ways. If a chart was made, I would score pretty high on the D&D/gaming/sci-fi side of the scale, but also score high on the bathing, see the sun, and knowing the touch of a woman side of the scale. Granted, they were all Asian prostitutes, but that's not the point.
Balance in all things.
I haven't had cable TV in eight years, so the whole Battlestar Galactica phenom had passed me by. Until today, I had never seen a single episode. I've heard tidbits and plot points and changes from the original here and there (and it seemed universally praised), but that was the extent of it.
But - although I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of the original series - the remake always sounded like something that I would also get into.
So tonight, I rented the initial miniseries and took it over to a friend's house to check out (who had also never seen it).
I was pretty much hooked ten minutes into it. After three hours? Yeah, definitely going to rent the rest of the series.
They did a fantastic job with it. If only all remakes could be this good.
