I’ve been thinking altogether too much about Battlestar Galactica lately. Not sure why. Maybe because news has come out about The Plan telemovie. Maybe because Katee Sackhoff was cast in Season 8 of 24. Maybe because the Season 4.5 DVD drops next month. Maybe because I have the Caprica DVD sitting on the piano, mocking me for not having watched it yet. Maybe just because I haven’t been able to cope with the fact that the series is...

Now that Battlestar Galactica is over and I’m back from foreign lands, I thought I’d catch up with some of my favorite shows that have fallen by the wayside. First up: Supernatural. I’m not completely caught up, but I’ve watched all but last week’s episode, and I have to say it’s been fun hanging with the Winchester brothers again.
