There was a time when I was so taken by the new Battlestar Galactica that when I saw a picture of recreator Ronald Moore I thought, “Now there’s a good looking man.  I want to be that cool!”  He’s looks like, at best, combination of Barry Gibb and Doug Henning.  No one is more ashamed of this than me. 

A lot of time has passed since the last new episode.  A lot.  In the meantime they’ve been showing reruns.  A lot.  In the middle of the night.  On a Saturday when you are either asleep or drunk.  Why he or the Sci-Fi Channel is trying to kill the show I don’t know.  But watch one episode of the new “Flash Gordon” Or Leprechaun 4: In Da Hood and you’ll think that 2 am start time is perfectly reasonable.

Season 4 doesn’t start until sometime in 2008.  The last new episode was March 2007.  My love is the same but the Doug Henning-like magic is wearing thin.  Like any long term relationship my mind is beginning to wander.  There’s always old episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation but I know it’s just a rebound.   We still love each other but have grown apart.  There’s no other really hot sci-fi shows on so I guess I’ll stick with Galactica. 

Even George Lucas made “The Star Wars Holiday Special” between the first (3rd) and second (4th) movies.  Though he’d deny paternity like a contestant on ”Maury.”  I love that special like it’s my own.  The new Battlestar mini film is on tonight.  It’s going to have to romance me a little in order to win me back.  I know it’s just going to run out on me again afterward.  But maybe if we work things out this time, I can make it change.  I know I can.
