Blogging the Battlestar

It’s been my personal mission for some time to get my friends on the Battlestar Galactica  bandwagon.  I’ve introduced numerous friends, and begged them to see what I see, one of the best show’s I’ve ever seen on TV.   Mostly it’s not been hard.  College student’s have caught episodes over lunch breaks, church friends have blown through 4 episodes in one night.  I’ve even recently elicited a promise from a long time friend and 1978 BSG purist to get over his preconceived prejudice and borrow Season 1 from me. As exciting as this is, I finally now get the one thing I’ve wanted since I started this show.  Someone to watch it as I’m watching it, and converse with me on the happenings of the 12 colonies, and sharing (hopefully) in my deep enjoyment of this series. 

            My friend and fellow blogophile, Kelly, is starting at the beginning, as am I , and the two of us are going to blog our way through the entire series.  We’ll even be linking to each other’s blogs.  I’m going to endeavor not to spoil anything for her, and she’s going to try to not hate it.  You, dear readers, get to go along for the ride.

            My guess is, if this goes well, you may see us tag teaming through the indomitable Veronica Mars, and/or my personal strength finder Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

            If you want to join us, the last season is going to be out on DVD end of this month, and all episodes will be available to watch.  As this is Kellys first time, please be kind and don’t spoil it with anything akin to “Darth Vader is Luke’s Father” or “Soylent Green is People”.  Let her find out for herself that this whole thing is an hallucination in Hurley’s head on her own. :)
