Jeannine,



Thanks for your comments on BSG. Although I have kind of followed the show

on line and in the media, I have still avoided actually watching it as I am

convinced that, due to the complexity and intensity it would really be

better to start at the beginning instead of jumping in for the last season.

Saw the usual comments on Gateworld."Loved the ending!"."Hated the ending!",

so thought I would get your take. I get together with a friend of mine about

once a week for coffee and to look at DVD's, sometimes a movie, sometimes we

take a series and work our way from beginning to end, currently doing

"Deadwood", and I'm thinking BSG would be a good one for us to tackle one of

these days as neither of us has seen it, so after a while, when the prices

come down might grab season 1 and see how it goes, so that was one reason

why I was wondering how you liked the concluding season. Glad to hear that

you enjoyed it, and that you have found "life after Xena" :-).



BillHi Bill,It's been a long while since you posted a Xmas poem re XWP! It was
in 2002 I think :)If you're going to view Battlestar Galactica - and doing so
with a friend is a very good idea -  you will get immediately lost, starting
from season one :) Because there's this miniseries that really got the thing off
the ground, and if you do mean what you say, i.e. just reading about the series,
you wouldn't have a
clue.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(TV_miniseries)

You're quite right regarding the complexity and intensity. BSG has all of that,
and I feel you might like to grab a beer or two, instead of the coffee. But
that's merely me.

Still, without having seen the miniseries, you'd probably drop the thing and I
assure you, that would be a shame!

Cheers
