Ross and I started watching the 3rd season of the new Battlestar Galactica.
Oh my frackin' god. This series is so consistently excellent in every possible way. The acting is absolutely superb. They've got great talent here, and they're not afraid to use it. The filming, the sound, the effects... it all works together, so seamlessly and well. And the writing. The issues they address. The way in which they've made this series relevant to stuff that's going on in our world today.
I'm not going to attempt to summarize any plots - anyone who wants that can find it elsewhere on the net, or just watch this great show themselves. I'm just going to tell you how thrillingly good this series is. We watched episodes three and four last night, and certain events made me apoplectic with amazement. Other moments brought me near tears. I'm telling you, this is not just great science fiction - this is great filmmaking. This is a classic in the making, which will blow Star Trek out of the water. Not that such a thing is really possible, but this truly is in a different class.
