Oprah sung the right chords

What is Oprah? How did she get to where she is and how did she do it so fast? Beginning in 1988, she started her TV show that aimed at aiding people , supporting those in dire straits and bringing women up to the front with men, sometimes in front of them.
She in the process lifted her name to heights where people from other countries would have heard of Oprah first and the President and the First lady later. More

Dr. Gaius Baltar

There are several interesting characters on BattleStar Galactica but none may be more interesting than Dr. Gaius Baltar. From the beginning to the end of the show he makes his way out of some very sticky situations. He goes from 100% scientist to 100% religious believer.
What made him change from a man who embraced science to a man who embraced faith? The several prophecies about his life that he saw taking place might have been one thing that caused More

Falling Skies: No BattleStar Galactica just yet

After I got back from my laser hair removal Birmingham appointment I watched the first episode of the show Falling Skies. When I saw the trailer I was very excited about the show but after watching the first episode I can say I am sorely disappointed.

As a young child I was impressed with big explosions, fantastic graphics and amazing visual effects. I loved the movie Independence Day for those very reasons. The problem is that sci-fi that stays with More

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan review

Even though this series has been over for a while now I am still able to see on cable these days in reruns. When I was watching the series initially, I always wondered, even as I did my laser hair removal Birmingham when I attended university, why the Cylons attacked the colonies. I along with possibly ever other fan of the series assumed that it was to destroy humanity So when they came out with “The Plan”, I wanted to More

Admiral Adama and Race

Playing the Admiral of the BattleStar Galactica on television should give you about as much right as owning a laser hair removal Birmingham clinic to speak to the United Nations. Being on a show that dealt with the hard issues of race gave Edward James Olmos the right opportunity to speak up.
Edward James Olmos who portrayed William Adama on the show BattleStar Galactica spoke before the UN about the topic of race. The show dealt with important societal issues More

Outer space soaps losing its edge?

Battlestar Galatica might be the best in its genre but there should be more shows around that can immerse more people into the outer space adventure. Ever since star trek, there has been no emerging victor that represents sci-fi shows on the soap award shows. Where did the magic go?
These days, directors are pampered with a series of CGI effects that they can use at their disposal to bring in the viewers, but there are so lost into CGI More

Boon or Bane

The Boon or Bane argument is a topic of casual debates in the 5th grade classrooms but for society, its a never ending battle between conservative parents and liberal. But here is my final verdict. Though I have changed allegiance a number of times, i’ve come to the conclusion that there is no doubt that the world would stop to work if the TV up and vanished one day. Here’s why.
For the common man, TV is the source of More

A sucker for reality TV

An extensively abused sector of the industry crowded with shows that do nothing but spoil your kids with promises of riches and easy life with fast cars and casual encounters with the opposite sex – Do we need it? Hell no, but it works, its sells and people enjoy watching drama (that really occurs supposedly and is not scripted).
There has got to be some sane program than can also teach. Why is it that there are more programs that More

BG Remakes – Why Did Previous Attempts Fail?

I am a very big fan of BattleStar Galactica. However, I was not impressed when there was talk of a remake of the super hit show that was released in the late 70s. The show was finally aired in the first half of the new millennium and was a hit again. It won critical and popular acclaim and became a meeting point for individuals belonging to two different generations.

However, I was not very impressed with news of the supposed More

BSG: Fond Memories

I remember the first time I watched BattleStar Galactica it was the day my world was changed. Ok maybe not that dramatic but I enjoyed the series very much. I had just got back from the laser hair removal Birmingham clinic and wanted to relax so I flipped on the TV and there was BattleStar Galactica. I was intrigued by the show but the main attraction for me were the robots called Cylons, and since the first series Cylons have More
