Battlestar Galactica: Razor!

Next weekend SciFi Channel is showing Battlestar Galactica - Razor but our friend Gizicki got hold of a media screener so Steve and I hooked up with brothers-in-law Jeff & John for a Saturday night geek fest.

(Incidentally, Gizicki was going to be there but he's uber important and got to attend the Enchanted premiere, which he said was a brilliant movie; he also sat next to Jamie Bamber who plays Apollo on BSG, proving once again that all good things come back to Battlestar. Anyway...)

Razor follows what happened to the crew of Battlestar Pegasus after the first Cylon attack, and juxtaposes that story with Lee Adama's (Jamie Bamber) first mission as the Pegasus' captain. It's amazing for a number of reasons.

1. Making you love characters you hated.
2. Seeing Cylons from the original series.
3. Learning new stuff that influences the plot of next year's final season.
and...
Well, I don't want to say it and ruin anything, but it's a very small, lovely surprise that is revealed about one of the Pegasus' crew and it's pretty great. Just watch the show next weekend. You'll be glad you did.

Off to Detroit for Thanksgiving week. Blogging could be hit or miss, but I'll see what I can do.
