by your (secular) command

damn you xz and danger.

they got me watching that damned new battlestar galactica series.

i guess it’s payback for getting them hooked on lost and 24. i really had too much in my head earlier in the year to pay attention, but now that it’s summer i pissed off 13 hours last week watching all the episodes after tivo recorded the marathon recap.

the season premiere’s tonight, and instead of watching it on a big fat tv, i’m going to be out at willits. where there’s no tv. and no cylons. there will be people walking around half nekkid, though.

who knows, maybe there will be cylons. do cylons like breaks? trance? glitchcore?

where’s the daggitt? maybe we can get it to do some pop locking. for peace. yo.

(last season spoiler follows)

speaking of peace, in the last episode lieutenant martin castillo declares martial law and arrests president stands-with-a-fist for being a nutty religious type. since we know that eventually the prophecies are more or less correct and that earth is the 13th tribe of kobol, we sympathize with the president and her staff and their motivations. however, without that information, essentially the government is being run by a bunch of religious nuts who are letting their belief in scriptures interfere with the running of the government.

sound familiar?

of course, in our case, that government also controls the military.

frack.

to paraphrase kent brockman, “I, for one, welcome our new cylon overlords. I’d like to remind them as a trusted blogger, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.”
