Frak BSG, this is Amazing!

Awesome is the best word to describe the new version of Battle Star Galactica (BSG). Although being a sci-fi fan, I have to admit that I never had the change to see the “old” version of this TV series (I didn’t say huge fan). The BSG marathon to reach the end of season 2 was almost necessary, in fact, after a couple of episodes I was totally hooked! And the season finale!… Amazing!

The suspense left in the air by the end of season 2 was so spectacular that I started immediately to watch season 3. I only hope that it continues to be this great until the end…

As a final note: ‘Frak’ all ‘Toasters’… Personally, I like the Model Six’s shapes. :)

NCIS

NCIS is not the best TV series out there, but if you give it a change it will grow on you as it did on me (it’s actually the 5th most seen TV Series out there [see Rating section in Wikipedia]).

All characters are very well defined stereotypes. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service team is lead by a hard core marine - as strict as they come -, and composed of an Italian D. Juan (a movie trivia encyclopedia and second-in-command), an MIT computer geek (which fancies himself a novel writer), a quite caring female assassin (trained by the Mossad and serving has a liaison officer), a goth evidence and forensic specialist and a ’scotch’ for chief medical examiner.
It would be hard to have a more heterogeneous bunch of people anywhere in the world but I think they make a very good team when they start working together.

With already six seasons aired by CBS, NCIS seems to be a spinoff of JAG. I’m currently watching Season 6, hoping that Season 7 is underway.

 

… one more episode, please!

This post is a statement of my complete addiction to TV series, specially the ones produces in north america. Currently, the focus of this addiction is mainly Lost, but that just because other series like House MD, Numbers, Criminal Minds, Dexter amongst other are on break.

The main reason to this addiction is the lack of interesting Portuguese productions. From my point of view, the national productions (known as “telenovelas”) are directed to a specific public, which include only the lonely old ladies and the brainless. [Sorry if this offends you, but it's my opinion. Sue me.]

The stupid aspect of it all is that, some Portuguese channels do show the series that interest me, but in schedules that are less than adequate! Sometimes, this series are shown well after 2 AM.

Indeed, the advent of BitTorrent is welcomed!
