I'm Hooked!

I am not a T.V. person. Once in a while I watch American Idol or an episode of House, but most nights I just don't have the time or the desire to watch television. It's a habit I got out of years ago and have not missed. However, Peter likes to watch a little T.V. in bed at night to help him unwind so he can go to sleep. So...we started watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica on DVD. I had not watched any of the orginal series with Lorne Greene back in the 80's so I had no idea what it was about. The influence of the LDS church is very striking in this series, with it's council of 12 and references to Kobol (ie: Kolob), and other similarities. it's very interesting and I have become hooked. I can't wait to get to bed at night so I can watch another episode. It gets harder and harder to quit after just one! But, I do have to sleep. We have just started the second season and know the series is ending this year after five. I am already sad! I must say...this is the best way to watch a T.V. series. No waiting an entire week or an entire summer to see the next episode, and no commercials! In fact, you can even go to their web site and watch an epsidode right on your computer. This takes discipline I tell ya! How easy would it be for me jump ahead and see what's going on in the future? Peter would kill me, and it would not be nearly as fun if he's not watching it with me. So, I will wait....one episode at a time, one day at a time, all things in their proper order. "So say we all!" :)

Who knew? I wouldn't have pegged you as a Star Trek fan! We do the same thing with "Lost".
