Decent episode, but I think it was the weakest of the entire series so far. And I hate the new opening.

I think part of it may have been jumping between the extra planet. The story on Kobal (think thats the name) is rather uninteresting so far especially since they didnt have much of Baltar and the ultra hot cylon. |

They did set the bar really high towards the end of last year.
I'm pretty disappointed that it only got two emmy noms, both technical. |

Well, it was bound to be a disappointment...
The Galactica season opener was a bit below average for this series, but then "average" was pretty good last season. The storyline did not advance much this time and this episode was a lot more predictable than the earlier efforts, which is a disappointment. Still, BG still sets high on the TiVo Season Pass list. I liked Ben Browder on “Farscape,” but hated “Stargate SG-1.” We TiVo’ed the season opener and will check it out to see if Browder’s charm translates from “Farscape” sufficiently to salvage SG-1. I doubt it, but am willing to give almost any science fiction series a try. Sadly, yang to Battlestar Galactica’s yin is “The 4400” on USA. Mrs. Gaz and I tried really hard to like this one, but it is just SO TV [predictable, mawkish and heavy-handed] that we are pretty much ready to bail. If we did not own the DVD set, we would be very excited about “Firefly” coming to SciFi. If you missed the show when Fox was sabotaging it, you should check it out. The movie version is coming out this fall. xoxo~ Gaz Science Fiction geek wandering in a vast reality TV wasteland. |

SG-1 season opener was just a bad Indiana Jones ripoff story.

Question for you, Gaz -
Is Firefly a movie on its own, or is it a series that they are making Serenity from? I know you are a huge Whedon fan, so how would you rate this compared to Buffy and Angel? Me, I'm looking forward to the movie, but know nothing of the story that leads up to it. |

Atlantis seems to have the better "bad guys," the better acting, and better cast. The idea of the first season (we're trapped in a land far, far away with no help and no idea what's going on) was somewhat spoiled by last season's cliffhanger ending, but I'd still recomend the 1st season. I also liked "The Dead Zone" but lately it's turned to more of the generic sci-fi TV series: week to week the events of the series don't seem to be remembered or have any impact on the following week's events. It's like a sit-com where continuity is almost completely missing...

Bowser...
“Firefly” is a TV series. “Serenity” is a theatrical film based on [and a continuation of] the TV series. Mrs. Gaz and I both really liked “Firefly.” Whedon’s dialogue will remind you of “Buffy” or “Angel,” but this is straight science fiction. There is a distinct absence of hip teens and pop references. “Firefly” is aimed more at adults. xoxo~ Gaz Hip enough to like “Buffy,” though. |

I'm having trouble keeping myself interested in both the 4400 and the Dead Zone this year.
I've still got to watch the Atlantis premeire. I was online and missed half the show. |
