I watched last night's episode of Smallville, which wasn't as good as the Legion episode. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as most of this season has been. There was a subplot involving Lana pulling the wool from Tess's eyes, which was far more compelling than the main story, which is what made the episode watchable in my opinion. Oh! And Mr. Gaeta himself (from BSG) had a cameo as a Smallville doctor who took care of Martian Manhunter. ;0)

Less than 1 & 1/2 hours until BSG on crappy TV. At least I'll have seen it. I've read that this episode while important to the series is kind of the calm before further revelations are revealed and the final arc kicks into high gear. We'll see. I mean, I have no reason to doubt that information. Ron Moore (the head honcho behind BSG) who makes his directorial debut with tonight's episode has this to say about it:

"It's a character piece. It's a smaller show; I designed it deliberately to be that way. I wanted to take a breath after the events, the shocking events, of the past couple of episodes. Things were happening huge. Revelations were coming one on top of another. And now I wanted to do a smaller piece that was just about people on the ship and where they are in their lives before the next giant arc just sort of pulls them along into even bigger events."

Also, "The Face of the Enemy" webisodes would appear to tie into tonight's episode. It should be fun (for a geek like me) to figure out exactly the order of these things. Tonight's episode is called "A Disquiet Follows My Soul".

I realized earlier that I wasn't awake in time to help Mark off to work. I hope he got there ontime. I love him, and want his life to run smoothly.
