In Battlestar Galactica
Friday: Nothing.
Saturday: Nothing.
Sunday: Battlestar Galactica!
Oh my god, you guys. Battlestar Galactica. So last week, someone really, really important died. Seemed to die. Appeared death-like in a thousand little blown-up bits. But who can believe it? She must be a Cylon, right? But in a way, that's even MORE disturbing than just killing her off. And if they really are just killing her off, what a bold choice to make! They had to know no one would believe it. It's crazy, is what it is. Any way you look at it. To be honest I didn't think the episode was all that great — seemed to have the same loopy backstory-heavy melodrama of the past couple episodes — but what an ending.
Brave, brave Sir Robin
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: Last week I forgot to mention that BBC America was starting to show the BBC's Robin Hood series here. The second episode airs a couple times this weekend, starting at 9 on Saturday. (Here's a summary of the first episode: Crusades violent, King John weak, King Richard gone, Robin brave and good and cheeky, former servant cheeky, Maid Marion cheeky, Sheriff of Nottingham and Guy of Guisborn Gisborne evil, taxes evil.) I kind of liked it. It may have been trying a bit too hard with all the cheeky, and Robin's not a very complex hero, but if you've got swordfighting, bows and arrows, evil sheriffs, saucy maids, giant castles — what's not to like?
I found Robin Hood to be deeply silly, but I still enjoyed it. Even though Robin looks about 20 and therefore probably hasn’t just completed a crusade, but whatever. And Guy of Gisborne was HOTT. Evil hott. Smokin’ hott. Seriously, hot.
OMG now I sound like one of those horrible brats on the soaring flying post. Ack. Okay, here’s a complete sentence: He was no Alan Rickman, but he was deliciously evil and entertaining and I will watch more.
