Battlestar Galactica - Centurion


The new Battlestar Centurions. They are far more menacing than the 70s version centurions. Not having them speak was a wise choice.

Whenever you see them appear on the show, you know that something really brutal is going to happen.

Curious George

The kids love Curious George, and I love him too. Mainly because he's the spitting image of my son at age three.

Number Six - Battlestar Galactica


Cylon model Number Six... another of my favorites in the new Battlestar series. Especially fun to watch is Baltar's "inner Six", who functions on screen as his conscience... or sometimes inner tormentor. Is she real or a figment of his imagination?

Dr. Gaius Baltar - Battlestar Galactica


I think what they are doing with Giaus Baltar in this, final season of Battlestar Galactica is absolutely brilliant. An intelligent but pious and self-centered fool, he bumbles from one mishap to another, but with a unerring sense of self-preservation. At the same time, he also seems to have the capacity for selflessness, or at least he yearns for the possibility of redemption.

Maybe redemption would be more accurate, because that is, when you really boil it down, a self-centered motivation as well.

And given all that, there is a group that now sees him as a messiah figure. And maybe they are right?

Season and episode recaps are available at the Battlestar Galactica site but you're really doing yourself a disservice if you're not watching the show.
