Sci-fi seeks critical mass: "Those in the genre say it encompasses more than space and special effects and deserves critics' respect and Emmy consideration...A vice president in the TV industry recently asked me what TV shows I watch for enjoyment. I mentioned my favorite is "Battlestar Galactica" on Sci Fi Channel. She laughed. I asked if she'd seen it. No, she said, and laughed again. Did she know, I asked, that it's a gritty adult drama of family members and colleagues in deep-rooted conflict not unlike that of "The Sopranos"? That they're part of a civilization struggling not only to survive but to define itself amid messy terrorist warfare? That it explores the values of competing societies that demonize each other's spiritual beliefs? That it's full of gutsy acting by the likes of Edward James Olmos and sophisticated allegory mirroring today's global politics?
She laughed again."
The second season of Battlestar Galactica premieres on Friday night at 10:00 P.M. Don't miss it.

I wouldn't if I could get it.
Homegrown, too with Trisha Helfer from Alberta and all. Never seen it.
