Even so, it is obvious that BSG is about the best thing to happen to TV since the Braves won the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, I never get to see BSG on the SciFi network (Friday nights suck for TV watching), but tonight I did get to watch what I would have to consider great TV.  Not just good TV, but *great* TV.  BSG is that rare breed of show that completely sucks you in and has you begging for the next week\u2019s episode.  It is that good.<\/p>\n<p>I did not watch the mini-series or the first few episodes of Season One because I did not really appreciate the concept of someone screwing around with a series that I grew up loving.  Forget the fact that the original series is pretty cheesy by today\u2019s standards; I am the type of fan that pre-ordered the Cyclon boxed set when the original series was announced.  Sure, call me a purist, but I did not like the idea of an updated version of Battlestar.  It would never work. How could it?<\/p>\n<p>Slowly, but surely they hype stared.  The good word spread.  Trusted bloggers like Chris called BSG sliced bread.  Now here I am pre-ordering BSG Season One (complete with the mini-series no less) because the few minutes I have enjoyed of the new BSG have been so unbelievably f\u2019ing awesome.  I cannot wait until September 20!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I have only seen two complete episodes of Battlestar Galactica; maybe 3-5 parts of a few other episodes.
