Since Star Trek is effectively dead I decided to start up Battlestar Galactica. Everybody seems to think it's great. I'm having a pretty hard time getting into it, though. It's not that the stories are bad, or problems related to being its first season. I'm just not really digging what they're doing. Aside from Adama and Colonel Tullius I don't really like any of the characters (in fact I hate a lot of them). Really, aside from those two the only thing I really like about it is the music and the cute Vietnamese gal (who's a total airhead).
About 2/3 of the way through S1 I decided to take break from it. Probably not permanent; I'd like to see it through S1, at least. Blew through Squid Game over two nights. Brutal, but very good. It was a great idea, and overall it was quite well done. I had problems here and there with it, but nothing too bad. Can't say I liked the final episode, though. They added an unnecessary wrinkle with Old Guy being the host, at the expense of an entirely different aspect that they completely abandoned. Really, neither Old Guy or the cop/Front Man aspect made any sense when it was all said and done. That said, they made up for it in other areas. The Marbles episode was absolutely gut wrenching.
