Ok, you sci fi geeks will know what I mean by “frackin’ awesome”. It looks like Sci Fi is creating a mini-series prequel to Battlestar Galactica based on the creation of the Cylons on Caprica.

I know, I know those of you who haven’t seen it are thinking “you mean that cheesey show from the late 70’s?”; but believe me, the reincarnation of the show is enthralling. It even won the network’s first Peabody Award.

I must admit that I watch Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and even the new Dr. Who. The writing is predictable and seems juvenile at times; I find myself predicting the next line often and feel like I need to be a hyper active teenager addicted to Doom and Quake to be in the target audience. But I do stick to it, waiting for that 1 in 3 episode when I’ll get to see some above-average special effects and maybe be surprised by the story line.

But Galactica is nothing like anything else on Sci Fi… I rarely am able to predict dialogue and am usually so entranced by the show that I don’t even think about such things.

So if you haven’t seen it, you should at least check it out. And if you happen to get addicted to the show, be sure to check out the mini-series when it comes out!
