Bah. My worst fears realized. I had hoped the last installment of Battlestar, The Plan, would redeem to some extent the gawdawful ending to the series but these new io9 teasers utterly negate that hope. Instead of getting inside the Cylons' heads and seeing things as they do it looks as if its soap-opera time and they'll merely replay scenes we've already seen (Doral blows up, Cavil tells Boomer "one shot in the head," etc.) with the priority being to connect-more-dots to flesh out the tortured, convoluted mess of Ron Moore's finale. Ellen as the Fifth - it's the Pam wakes up in Dallas of our era.

A post that might interest you - from sci-fi writer Charlie Stross (mentions BSG): "Why I hate Star Trek"

thanks, I'll check it out
Well friend radii,
After seeing "Pandorum" and managing not to tear out my eyeballs or puncture both eardrums to try and hear better...
Sci Fi entertainment is currently so suckweedy that I am actually looking forward to the "V" remake in a couple of weeks.
I just am in awe of Morena Baccarin... even if she is a lizard now... it shure will be better than the #6 'angel' surprise!
The two original "V" ladies were both hot for their time back in the early 80's too.
I really enjoyed the alien leader chick looking all sultry and suddenly opening her gullet to swallow a white rat whole (and that was with very early CGI FX too).
Well, you have to take such pleasures where you find them...
@PB
Around LA there is somebody putting up notes on V bus stop posters that say "Spoiler: They are Lizards" ... very funny!
Yes, the new chick is perfect. Hope the first 4 eps are good and they greenlight the rest of it. I also hope they put some camp in it, c'mon lizards?
I predict low ratings for the "V" series as there is already too much hatred for the never-ending Geico talking Gecko commercials.
That's so simple that even a caveman could understand it...
