Click Here to read previous instalments of Skinner Box Storytelling. My new show is open so I’ve got a bit more time to play games. Here’s what I’ve dipped into this week. These aren’t reviews, as I’ve only had a few hours with each one, but little snapshots of what I think. If I continue with […]

One of the joys of going back and watching old episodes of Deep Space Nine is seeing Ronald Moore’s name in the opening credits and thinking, “Hey! I liked Battestar Galactica for a time!” This same thought is present as one plays the board game which has been stunningly crafted to create the same level […]

The collaborations between the Whedon-verse and the BSG-galaxy just keep on coming. The one time blonde haired bad boy, James Marsters, is guest starring in a minimum of three episodes on the BSG spin-off Caprica, which debuts on the newly-renamed Syfy on January 22nd, 2010. But in the meantime, check out the pretty awesome pilot/miniseries […]

Dollhouse just got even geek-tastic–ier. Jamie Bamber, aka ab-tastic Captain/Major/Admiral Lee Adama, is joining the erst-while Helo, Tahmoh Penniket, on Dollhouse. Which means Whedon language coming out of the prettiest member of the awesome Adama family. I’m trying to avoid the BSG-centered pun, but… Oh frack it. So say we all!

So it’s finally over. The semi-epic ride that was Battlestar Galactica‘s 4 seasons is done; no more big cylon reveals, no more coming back from the dead, no more hallucinogens/angels, and especially no more gratuitous naked shots of Jaime Baumber. It’s a sad state of affairs. So how’d it go out? Well, I’m of two minds […]

It’s things like this Battlestar Gallactica at The UN that make me wish I wasn’t a college student by day, blogger by night, and was instead full-time pop culture obsessing. The United Nations (yes, that’s right, the same group that sanctions human rights violations and ostensibly organizes the nations of the world together in peace) […]

I was going to come on here and complain that the penultimate episode of BSGwas all sorts of flashback-y nonsense (with a dose of machismo badassery built in) but I’ve decided not to. I’m hoping, sincerely, and mostly optimistic, that at the end of next week’s two hour series finale, I’ll feel like every drunken-bird-fighting […]

Sometimes I think my opinions of Battlestar Galactic episodes are as schizophrenic as Starbuck on her mission to Earth. For example, last week I complained that it focused on Starbuck’s very messed up psyche at the expense of action scenes and big reveals. This week’s episode was practically devoid of shooting and Last-Cylon–esque reveals, but […]
