What the hell?

For the first time since Babylon 5, there's actually a good science fiction show on the box.

It's called Battlestar Galactica (it's vastly different from the crappy original series). It's riven with paranoia and realism, and has none of that plastic optimism of the Star Trek programs, and none of the general sheer-awfulness of things like Stargate.

It's on at 9 pm on Sky One on Tuesdays.

RIP Cian Dempsey

A guy I knew in school died last Friday. Cian was a good bass player and singer (I was in a band with him for a while), and it's a shame that he died so young (he was only 23).
