The Enemy (?) Within

When you're down to about the last 49,362 human beings left alive in the whole universe and you have no home, other than a few broken down space ships, you don't really need Cylons to make life miserable. Let's see - terrorism, Sharon's unborn child, President Roslin's breast cancer and vice-president Baltar's little demons in his head.
Needless to say, Episode 2-13 last night was another roller coaster. I won't offer any spoilers (it appears that David is actually watching this show, maybe), but I will say that the shit is so nice. Yes, there are some convenient scientific realities in this episode which are not really fleshed out completely, but SO WHAT?! The drama and the agony and the performances are all so much better than any televised sci-fi I've ever seen. When was the last the time that the New Yorker stopped and took notice of a show like this?

Hey - just wanted to know I appreciate your dedication to this show - I have been totallly intrigued ever since Emily revealed how much you two were into BG.
The bits I have seen have been v. good, and I'm afraid of getting sucked in. Perhaps I'll give in.
Oh, Kate! Join us in outerspace! It's so F***ING good.
Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos bring serious gravitas to the project, and there is a whole host of gifted (and hot!) young actors. Jamie Bamber (Lee) used to bug me as sort of a poor man's Tom Cruise, but then I found out he was actually English (he assumes an American/Canadian accent on the show) and decided that he is actually quite babe-ish.
It might be a little confusing to jump in to the narrative at this point, but we (Mike, really) are always here to answer questions.
It really is an extraordinary hour of TV. (Is that an oxymoron?) You won't be sorry.
Only drawback: 10 PM on Friday timeslot. Not a problem for us lazy farts, but your social life is probably a little more demanding. :)
