Deadwood: Through a Glass Darkly

[This review includes spoilers for season one!]

I recently rented the first season DVD of Deadwood because it was highly recommend to me. Heavy drama is totally not my thing, and westerns are out of my realm, but after three episodes, I was hooked.

I finally succumb to Battlestar Galactica

I couldn't stand it anymore.

The new Battlestar Galactica is so freaking good. (Okay, frakking good.) All through season one, I kept thinking about reviewing it, and telling myself that I just didn't have the time. And I really don't. I'm reviewing three shows right now. I reviewed four at once a few years ago, and I thought I was going to go nuts. But at least it airs during the summer, so theoretically, I'm only doing two at a time. :)

My review of the season two premiere will be up by tonight. And I started a BSG discussion list yesterday, too, mostly because we kept talking about BSG on my Lost list.

Troy: the Brad Pitt of Despair

I finally got around to watching the movie Troy the other night. Just couldn't get around to seeing it in the theater.

Deadwood

Yes, that's Deadwood, not The Dead Zone.

I love DVDs. It wasn't all that long ago that the only way we could re-watch something we loved was by waiting for reruns. I remember hearing that in the early 70s, fans of the original Trek would make audio tapes of their favorite episodes so that they could at least hear them whenever they wanted. And of course, they wrote fan fiction. That's how fan fic started.
