BSG on salon.com
Jul. 9th, 2005 10:10 amI swear I could do this entire post in acronyms, but it would make me feel like a giant dork.
In any case, salon.com's lead story today is about Battlestar Galactica 2003. And specifically Starbuck.
Problem: it's written by someone who's not actually into sf (though she does like BSG). Laura Miller, the author, apparently likes to make herself feel superior by saying things like: "These shows have ranged from the passable ("Farscape") to the appalling ("Lexx," a sort of R-rated "H.R. Pufnstuf"), and without a doubt each of them has its own cadre of fire-breathing hardcore fans, just as the hokey original "Battlestar Galactica" does." And "This is a character-based drama, not something you often see on a spaceship."
Still, she obviously loves the show, and it's a pretty prominent article for genre TV, so you may want to check it out.
ETA: Spoilers for the first episode of season two.
