The Giant Fighting Robot Report

I am dubious. (I am metal.) I am stainless. I am milk in your plastic.

OK, so now I'm confused.

That was one of the better episodes of Battlestar Galactica this season. The ending even made me verklempt.

(The promo for next week's episode made Kevin spaff.)

But I thought this season was 20 episodes long. But the Sci-Fi Channel is calling next week's episode the season finale. Hrm. I suspect they're doing it that way to drum up ratings for fall, as they're also claiming season finales for SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis.

I dunno—I like the idea of Michelle Forbes as the commander of the Pegasus (that stunt casting is working out well so far), but I really think the ideal person to play that role would be Dirk Benedict. OK, so I'll accept bringing him back as Starbuck's father. I would also accept... um... Tony Bourdain in that role.

Obviously I am wearing my Bad Idea jeans.
