Michael came over and we had cuddles and sexy time...then a shower. I worked on his cyber farm; got it all in order, then plowed mine and planted a section of cabbages. We watched some Justice League, but Michael was really tired so he's napping (as is Mark). We're going to DJ's later; we have to be there at 5pm; stopping at LC on the way there. I think we'll probably run late though as Michael is exhausted, and Mark might go as well, though it's less likely.

I've been thinking about (shocker) Battlestar Galactica. NO SPOILERS here for anyone who's seen the first few seasons, really; nothing specific. I was just trying to figure out why some fans aren't excited to see the new movie "The Plan" which is set during the first 2 seasons and will explain a lot of different things...or more precisely, why I seem to be more excited than the majority of fans online (though I do find one now and again who IS excited about it, they are rare). Looking back on the show I think I've figured out the answer. If you look at the majority of my favorite episodes -

Season One:
1x04 Act of Contrition

Season Two:
2x18 Downloaded
Battlestar Galactica: Razor [Extended Cut]

Season Three:
3x09 Unfinished Business [Extended Cut]
3x17 Maelstrom

Season Four:
4x11 Sometimes a Great Notion
Battlestar Galactica: The Face of the Enemy
4x15 No Exit

The thing all of these stories have in common? Flashbacks. These episodes give us new information about the characters' histories; often time changing the way the characters or previous episodes can be interpreted. That's basically what "The Plan" is set to do. Even episodes I don't love are sometimes tied to flashbacks that I do enjoy. Though there is at least 1 eception to this rule (3x08 Hero). Anyways, I thought that was kind of interesting.

I'm hungry.
