Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Y’know…I almost wish the show weren’t called “Battlestar: Galactica.” It’s just that much more difficult to convince people that this is one of the best dramas, bar none, currently on the air.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will reiterate that I’ve written a BSG novel. I don’t believe it shades my opinions; in fact, if I didn’t like the series, I wouldn’t have written the novel, so that tells you something. Spoilers follow:

Did you think he was going to stop screwing the country up?

For crying out loud, I’m not the brightest penny in the box, and *I* knew things were just going to get worse. Anyone with a brain should have figured it out at the time. It took TWO MORE FRICKING YEARS for people to realize that, in the words of John Cleese as spoken by Jamie Lee Curtis, there are sheep that could outwit him? That there are dresses with higher IQs?

Jeez, people. A little forethought next time, okay? That’s all I’m asking.
