Galactica Rules!

I had gone into watching the mini-series when it first aired expecting to hate it and loved it. Now the series has premiered and is even better. The characters are so well developed and rich. What is amazing is that these are only the first two episodes. The special effects are phenomenal. I know two of the people working on the CGI work so I have a personal interest in the work; it is far superior to anything else on TV.

The superior quality of this program proves more and more that Rick Berman is a freakin' idiot. Excuse the "Get A Life" rant for a few minutes if you aren't as into Trek as I am. Berman, the Anti-Christ, had forced Ron Moore out of Trek and now Moore has gone on to write and produce something Berman never could even if he had Isaac Asimov's typewriter shoved up his ass. Years ago I was bitching and moaning about what Berman was doing to ruin the Trek franchise and he continues to do more and more of the same and more and more people are finally beginning to see the light. Years ago, Harve Bennet gout bounced out on his ass for proposing an "Academy Days" script for a Trek movie; now that Berman's version of the same theme has been tanked by Paramount let's hope the same fate awaits him.

Now if they can only get someone at the "so-called" Sci-Fi Channel to actually program more than one night of science fiction on their network!
