What Blogging Is All About

March 19, 2010Burt Likko

What I love about blogging is finding people who comment on weird combinations of interesting things.  Like the impact of facial hair on Presidential politics — it’s not a decisive advantage either way, but Republicans are always more hirsute than… Continue Reading →

Daybreak

March 30, 2009Burt Likko 2 Comments

Well, it’s finally over. As I wrote before, TV is something you watch at your leisure, and this weekend The Wife and I got around to watching the series finale for Battlestar Galactica. I really did think it was the… Continue Reading →

Another Trip Up Geekback Mountain

March 3, 2009Burt Likko

You know, with only three episodes left, you’d have thought the writers would come up with something more interesting than the Cylon Angstfest. Seriously, that felt as dull and pointless as the black market episode. Yeah, I can see where… Continue Reading →

A Concerned Colonial Citizen Speaks

February 12, 2009Burt Likko

No, I’m not the only one taking weekly “fishing” trips up Geekback Mountain. Robert Farley has authored the finest and most incisive piece of commentary on current Colonial politics out there. It may be hard to hear, but — Tom… Continue Reading →

Teasers

December 13, 2008Burt Likko

January 16 is the day — a new episode! In the intervening month, Sci Fi is rolling out brand-new webisodes of Battlestar Galactica. The first one premieres today — Lt. Gaeta, we hardly knew you! Also, BG junkies, don’t miss… Continue Reading →

Caprica Is Coming

December 2, 2008Burt Likko

Battlestar Galactica will begin its season-ending run in a month and a half. And when it’s gone, it’s going to be gone. So it’s a great pleasure to see that the prequel series, Caprica, has just been greenlit. It looks… Continue Reading →

Vote For The Cylon And The … Other Cylon?

August 30, 2008Burt Likko 1 Comment

And here’s what Bill Clinton thinks of the choice: And it would seem this is something President Clinton and Senator McCain agree on: Okay, I’m going to stop blogging about Sarah Palin for a little while now.

Go Ahead — You Do Better Than This With Those Words

July 22, 2008Burt Likko

Battlestar Galactica is quintessential science fiction for our modern era. Science fiction is not about some future where problems are solved by technology — it is about the challenges we face in the modern world; it uses a futuristic setting… Continue Reading →

Remarkable Comeback

April 25, 2008Burt Likko 1 Comment

If you believe this study, the entire human race was reduced to a population of something like 2,000 people about 70,000 years ago. The near-extinction of humanity was, it is suggested, caused by a massive drought. That’s a pretty dramatic… Continue Reading →

Rosslin’s Mistake and the Easter Bunny

April 14, 2008Burt Likko

As is so very often the case, Battlestar Galactica presents its viewers with what seems to be a wonderfully cutting conundrum. There is, though, a great consistency there. SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t seen the second episode of this season… Continue Reading →
