Running to Stand Still, with Cylons
I can’t be the only one who has noticed that nothing has happened in the first two episodes of season two of Battlestar Galactica. Oh sure, there’s been some shooting, and a lot of people we’d never met and didn’t care about died, but at the end of the second episode we’re in a place no different than we were at the end of Season One: Adama’s unconscious, Apollo’s in trouble, Starbuck’s on Caprica, and that landing team on Kobol is screwed. Something better change Friday. I know it’s normal for a show to slump in its second season, but I can’t stop hoping. And I’m warning all and sundry, if the sophomore slump happens to Veronica Mars this fall, my wrath will know no bounds.
Also, if you didn’t notice but do care, Sci Fi is re-running Joss Whedon’s Firefly series in order in preparation for the release of the movie Serenity. Firefly is decent, and has a few cool bits, like how the ships don’t make sound in space, because, of course, they wouldn’t.
