Tonight is the conclusion to the Battlestar Galactica 2-parter, "Pegasus". This is the only show I watch on TV regularly, it is great writing and near-great acting, which is hard to find these days. Action, drama, and real emotion. For you non-scifi types who say "this is scifi, which is boring," I say you need to try it. This show regulary avoids the technobabble and jargon that shows like Star Trek sometimes relied upon way too much. Plus, this show tackles issues on a real, less than perfect level, without the characters being ridiculously flawed (just somewhat flawed, like in real life). It's been great to watch. The gist? Humanity has been wiped out by robots they created. The few survivors caravan to find a fabled planet called Earth for shelter that they're not even sure exists. Meanwhile, the robots that wiped out their homes are hot on their tail. The "Battlestar Galactica" is the only military ship left to protect the fleet of survivors.You ipod types can download the episodes too for cheap. Unless you're a pirate and get them for free (arrrrgh matey).
So many decisions, so little thought time. I am overwhelmed with all the job, church, future issues to deal with that it's crazy. I really want to do it right this time, in that I want to experience the Lord driving my inclinations and decisions live never before. I would tell you more, but I have to leave. More later, if the writers don't have other plans.
