OK, I admit it, I'm a sci fi freak. First movie I remember seeing was The Thing - 1951 or 1952, in Calcutta, India. I loved airplanes - my family and I flew in Boeing Stratocruisers, Lockheed Constellations (most beautiful airliner ever made), DC-4s, DC-3s. I remember seeing a Comet taxiing next to our DC-4 and was awestruck by its beauty and by the sense of things to come.
I'll never forget the scene in The Thing when the Air Force personnel (and the reporter) arranged themselves and stood in the outline of the craft burried in the ice - and when they formed a perfect circle - knocked my little socks off. I knew airplanes weren't round - oh, the mystery of it all.
All this to say, Sci Fi and I go back a long way.
Anyway, I've seen the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries and the first episode, and I think this is the best sci fi I've ever seen.
Go Sci Fi Channel!!!
