@Megali: The idea of Ghost Hunters isn’t bad, but the execution…urg. You should watch the South Park episode that makes fun of it. Classic.

I understand your a Star Wars fan, no surprise there. I love both, but I will always be a Trekkie at heart, and for the same reason, because I always watched it with my Dad.

Yes, there is BSG on Netflix! When we finally get it, if you haven’t got around to watching either, maybe we could get together for the opening episodes. Oh, and I am email you right now with our crazy easy directions out of the cities!

@Janskoller: LOL. ‘Si Fee’ indeed. Who came UP with that, I wonder?

I fondly remember my Godzilla and Anime marathons back on Sci Fi, and of course the glorious continuation of MST3K. Too bad its now the’Si Fee’ channel.

Ah SyFy… how I loved thee. It was where I first watched my Tremors movies and fell in love with them. And Highlander, and a multitude of others. How far it has fallen… I will admit that when those ghost-catcher shows first came on I was intrigued, but they have long ago shown their true faces and have ceased to be entertaining in any fashion.

Also, though it’s difficult for me to pick between Star Trek and Star Wars since I love both series, if I must cast a vote it will be with Star Wars since it was the first one I loved and was able to share that love with my dad.

And on a side note, I have always been curious about BSG – all on Netflix, you say?

@Blaise: Ah, yes, the prequel! I realize John and I need to move our butts on watching BSG. My only excuse before was that I don’t like getting involved in long shows that aren’t finished, but now it is. It’s in our netflix queue!

Babylon 5 was really the new BSG’s predecessor for that kind of epic sci fi original. So long ago now…but SO GOOD. And I need to get John watching more Sliders, if only we could pull ourselves away from playing Dragon Age…

I’m right with you. Reality shows suck, and SyFy is just jumping on the bandwagon. I used to love Sliders and Babylon 5!

On the other hand, if Caprica (the BSG prequel series) turns out to be as fantastic as Battlestar, I might be able to forgive them.

You guys have got to watch BSG. It’s so damn good.
