Anyone watched the new BSG series on the Sci-fi channel? I wish they would involve a little more action in the episodes, but overall it is a pretty well done series.
I do miss the old cyclons in their bright shiny armor and the red back and forth light in the visor. And their voices were cool. The new CGI ones are pretty lame.
Not enough Six.

LoL
I've been curious about it..But isn't Starbuck a chick?
Sorry, but there's only ONE Battlestar Galactica, starring our favorite dog food pitchman.

BTW, the guy who's third from the right is the original Dick Hatch.
I thought that was Meathead?

Yeah Starbuck is a chick, who kind of has a thing going on with Apollo.
But I like Grace Park, who plays Boomer...

was there a substitute Dick Hatch?
I must confess the new BG is one of my few must-see programs, but I've always been a sucker for good sci-fi. Olmos as Adama, the President and Gaius stand out. In terms of eye candy, Starbuck and Boomer don't do much for me. Starbuck, in particular, annoys me. I don't hate her because she's not man or because she's not Dirk Benedict. I hate her because she has a tenth of his charisma.
OMG what a shocker for the season finale. He can't be dead can he?
That was a great season finale. I don't know that I've gasped out loud at a TV series in years. I think Adama could very well be dead, but it probably depends on real life stuff. I would think that the show might have revived Olmos' acting career a bit. Or Adama could just be laid up and out of the picture for the most part for a bunch of episodes like Swearingen on Deadwood so Olmos can do another project.
Anyway, check out a good interview with a couple BG writers with Tribune TV writer/blogger Maureen Ryan. You'll need to scroll down an item or two for the interview.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-tribtv,1,3096468.story?coll=chi-homepagenews2-utl
I keep forgetting that there are a lot of Deep Space Nine alums on BG. I caught a couple early DS9 episodes, but I've never been a Trekkie. They really beat Trek to death. Again. And again.
Anyway, here's the first couple questions, but it's an interesting and long interview.
Question: So, Commander Adama -- is he dead? Whatever updates you can give on his condition as Season 2 begins are much appreciated.
Weddle: I can't answer that. You saw where the bullets hit him. What do you think? Personally, I think it's going to be very touch and go. Let's hope he makes it.
Thompson: That would be kiss and tell, wouldn't it? As the second season begins, he's in exactly the same shape as he was after the bullets hit him. And we have to deal with that.
Question: Does Col. Tigh end up in charge of the military? If so, how much does his drinking increase as a result?
Weddle: Tigh's the XO. He would without question assume command of Galactica and therefore the military. How will he withstand the pressure? Will he be able to develop the diplomatic skills to deal with the civilian population? Will he be tempted to seek more solace from the bottle than usual or manage to control his addiction, and his ambitious wife? We will be exploring all of these questions in the new season.
Thompson: As XO, Tigh will have to step up while Adama's under the weather. It's a lot of pressure for someone who never aspired to command. He's spent a lot of his life medicating his problems away. Now he's going to be hit with a whole new level of problems: An incarcerated president, an unruly Quorum, and an overly ambitious wife. I'd say the sauce might seem pretty tempting, but who can say? Adama saw something in the man a long time ago, and perhaps that quality will come out.
Damn it, when does this start up again?
I was the wrong age for the original series, which of course meant that I loved it. Haven't watched it since.
I hear the new season starts off very ... darkly ... which rocks! How could it not? It's the most depressing potentially compelling storyline you could conjure up.
Don't forget, Galactica starts back up this Friday.
Whats a Dick Hatch?
Maren Jensen.
Yowza.
Just finished the first season on dailymotion.com. Fantastic season, fantastic series. I've got to get through the 2nd season and catch up so I can start watching it on TV.
Six-Yummy.
Boomer-Tasty
Starbuck-Meh.
I watch the show every Friday night. I think it is one of the best shows on TV.
I don't think many Desipio's watch it though, shame.
Comcast has it in the On Demand section. If you miss it Friday, it's available for weeks afterwards.
The show is about as good as TV gets. Current without being preachy.

Season 3 so far has outdone the second season as a whole. Maybe one truly mediocre episode so far whereas Season Two had a few clunkers. Season 3 starts back up in a few weeks and moves to Sundays at 9 p.m. CST, so you might not want to wait for that DVD.
Mo Ryan at the Trib is a big-time BSG geek and her blog is a good place to check for updates....

It hasn't been signed to a fourth season yet and the ratings have dropped, but SciFi may very well sign up for a new season, according to rumors on the Internets.
First half of the season finale was damn good. I'm looking forward to where this is going....
Now if only Comcast would get their shit together and pick up Universal HD (so I can watch this show in HD), this would be my favorite show on TV.
We started watching this show about a week ago. We've just finished the first season, and the first episode of season two.
It's an entertaining sci-fi show - better than a lot of Trek, and pretty enjoyable even if there aren't many laugh-out-loud moments. However, I will have to say that it's no Firefly, even if they had a Firefly ship in the mini-series.

I think thay are different types of sci-fi shows. Galactica is more drama where as Firefly was more drama/comedy. There were a lot of funny throw away lines in Firefly. Galactica is played off as if this were an actual event, and really, where's the funny in the destruction of mankind? Both are extremely well written. It's really a shame that major network tv doesn't pick up a sci-fi show.
Season two was hit or miss...some good, some not so good.... Season 3 has been great or good. You have much to look forward to.

It's not really fair to compare the two other than the fact that they're both set in a sci fi genre. Galactica is a pretty harsh drama with very little comic relief. Firefly is much more a quirky Western with a good deal of romantic comedy and straight comedy. I love both shows, but you're not really comparing apples to apples.
I only compared them because some people have said that BSG is the greatest Sci Fi show ever, while I enjoyed Firefly a lot more.

I think that BSG probably is. If only because that title shouldn't rest upon the shoulders of a show that only aired 15 episodes. I think Firefly could've had a broader appeal (due to it's sci-fi, western, comedy, written by the guy who did Buffy mix).
BSG's closest competition is Farscape (IMO).
Absofuckinglutely crazy season finale.
Baltar not guilty?
New cylon models (and shocking ones, even)?
The return of Starbuck?
Almost to Earth?
Holy shit, I love this show.
I tell you one thing, BSG really knows how to do season finales. Another great one.
Very nicely done. A couple huge twists that didn't feel like they ripped you off. I bet the series finale is going to induce an orgasm so big it'll blow your cock off.
I can't believe I have to wait ill 2008 to see the next season. Motherfucker.

The final scene with the approach of battle felt a little incongruous with the rest of the episode focused on the trial.
But I love the potential they've setup. Hera needs to be protected beacuse she's the first Human-Cylon combination. But the Chief has a kid, no? The resistance was actually led by four of the final five.
And that last shot echoing the start of Contact was outstanding.
22 more eps, but not for 18 months?

They were on the bubble for a renewal. Had they gotten the ok earlier, we probably would've seen some eps during fall sweeps.
They opened up a whole new book of arcs.
SPOLIERS What caused the fleet wide power outage, did they jump into the middle of a cylon fleet or were they followed, what happened to Starbuck, have the new 4 been sabotaging the fleet subconsciously, what's the deal with Gaeta, who's the 5th , are they really cylons... Correct me if I'm wrong but the cylons left for 40 years after they were defeated. It's only been a year or two since they returned. How is Tigh a cylon? Weren't he and Adama old friends? How would that be possible?

I don't think so. She's been diagnosed by a few doctors as having cancer. Why would they infect themselves with a disease? Especially considering what happened when their scout ship found that contaminated beacon.

Yeah, I wasn't sure, hence the question mark at the end. People change screen names so often that I'm honestly not sure who's who sometimes, anyway.

Agreed. That's why I appreciate it nonetheless... what with the flood of newbs thread, Ratto post feedings, and overall smorgasbord of Desipio goodness, even a bum like myself can't keep up with the double entendres, multiple threads, and various personalities and handles around here. I mostly just sit back and reserve my comments for t-ball jokes and topics I really know...

Simply fantastic. This shit is brilliant.
I'm assuming some of you have seen the preview for next week's episode, "The Hub". Tricky camera work and editing, but I'm going to call it now: Laura Roslin is not revealed as a Cylon. It's one of the others that is with her. I think it's a red herring the way they have presented it.
Anyone noticed Admiral Adama referring to Athena's murdering of Six as the killing of a "woman"?
I love this goddamn show.
Yeah...that's become standard fare in TV these days. I can't wait. I don't think it's Roslin, it's been said it isn't Balthar, it's not going to be Adama (what's the point since he's already given command over to Tigh and that doesn't play into the prequel they're doing), it's not Apollo (since he's not there)... Is it Starbuck? Seems too easy. I'm trying to think of another main character it could be.
2nd best show on TV.

Also, if you get a chance, download Razor as well. Helps fill in some blanks for this season...
When should I watch that? After Season 3 and before the current season? That also reminds me of a question I wanted to ask you guys. I think the only difference between Season 2.0 and Season 2.5 is a "director's cut" of one of the episodes. If I rent 2.5, I won't miss anything from 2.0, right?

I think you would be fine seeing Razor before this season. Won't spoil anything.
As for the 2.0 vs 2.5... no idea. Don't director's cuts usually have everything and more?

I think so. I was just wondering if anyone knew if that's the only difference. It looks like Razor came out in 2007, so I think the natural order would be Season 1, Season 2.0/2.5, Season 3, Razor, Season 4.

Wait, if you're talking about the difference between the dvds for Season 2.0 and 2.5, you need to rent both to get the full season of episodes.
Putting on the geek hat:
Sci Fi showed the first half of the season (episodes 2.1 - 2.10, 2.10 being Pegasus), then waited either 3 or 6 months to show the last half of the season (2.11 - 2.20). They issued the Season 2.0 dvds before Season 2.5 was aired. After Season 2.5 aired, as an incentive to buy the 2.5 dvd, they included the director's cut of Pegasus on the 2.5 DVD.
So you have to watch both or you'll be completely lost in Season 3.
Unless you were just talking about which Pegasus to watch, in which case it doesn't really matter.

Shit, now I'm confused. I have to rent all of the Season 2.0 DVDs, and then rent all of the Season 2.5 DVDs? I thought all of the episodes (except the Pegasus director's cut) overlapped. Does 2.0 have the first 10 episodes plus the non-director's cut of Pegasus, and then 2.5 has the last 10 episodes plus the director's cut of Pegasus?
This show is so fantastic. I just finished disc 4 of Season 1 (Starbuck just took off to find the spear or whatever on Caprica). I can't wait to get the next disc.

Yes, this. To watch all 20+ episodes, you need both the 2.0 & 2.5 sets.

Perfect. Thanks a lot for the tip. I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on, and Netflix failed me. Operating under that assumption, I moved 2.0 to the top of my queue, so now I have the last disc of Season 1 and the first disc of 2.0 waiting for me at home. Sweet.
I'm really pissed I'm several seasons behind, because I would like very much to discuss the Season 1 cliffhanger where
FOUR-YEAR-OLD SPOILER!
Adama gets shot by Boomer.
I did NOT see that coming at all. This show rules.
Actually, that was one of the few moments of that season that I did see coming.
Regardless, the opening montage of that episode, especially the boxing Adamas, was as good as filmmaking gets.
Remember that when you get to the next boxing episode.

That wasn't the same episode, but, yes, that montage was great. I guess I was surprised that the Boomer "reveal" happened so early in the series.
Also, Mary McDonnell is one of the best-looking 50+-year-olds out there.

I'm up to season three and just watched the boxing match episode. Very good stuff and I'm thoroughly addicted. I sort of understand why they didn't use the virus to eradicate the entire Cylon racebut I'm confused why they didn't in the very least pump the colonial fleet's ships full of the virus to expose any remaining Cylons.
I'm still well behind you guys but Billy? WHYYYYYYYY!!!!

I finally made it to the end of Season 3. While I thought the writing and acting were pretty cheesy at the very end, I thought the Cylon "reveal" was pretty badass. This show rules.

For anyone still catching up, Season 4 is out now.
Season 4 is also running on Universal HD. They had a 5 ep back-to-back thing a few nights ago

Nevertheless, I'm fairly sure you all might could use a little dose of Dirk Benedict...
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/dbenedict/2009/01/19/lt-starbuck--lost-in-castration/
QuoteOnce upon a time, in what used to be a far away land called Hollywood (but is now a state of mind and everywhere), a young actor was handed a script and asked to bring to life a character called Starbuck. I am that actor. The script was called "Battlestar Galactica."
Fortunately, I was young, my imagination fertile and adrenal glands strong, because bringing Starbuck to life was over the dead imaginations of a lot of Network Executives. Every character trait I struggled to give him was met with vigorous resistance. A charming womanizer? The "Suits" (Network Executives) hated it. A cigar (fumerello) smoker? The Suits hated it. A reluctant hero who found humor in the bleakest of situations? The Suits hated it. All this negative feedback convinced me I was on the right track.
Starbuck was meant to be a lovable rogue. It was best for the show, best for the character and the best that I could do. The Suits didn't think so. "One more cigar and he's fired," they told Glen Larson, the creator of the show. "We want Starbuck to appeal to the female audience for crying out loud." You see, the Suits knew women were turned off by men who smoked cigars, especially young men. How they "knew" this was never revealed. And they didn't stop there. "If Dirk doesn't quit playing every scene with a girl like he wants to get her in bed, he's fired." This was, well, it was blatant heterosexuality, treating women like "sex objects." I thought it was flirting. Never mind, they wouldn't have it. I wouldn't have it any other way, or rather Starbuck wouldn't. So we persevered, Starbuck and I. The show, as the saying goes, went on and the rest is history for, lo and behold, women from all over the world sent me boxes of cigars, phone numbers, dinner requests, and marriage proposals.
The Suits were not impressed. They would have their way, which is what Suits do best, and after one season of puffing and flirting and gambling, Starbuck, that loveable scoundrel, was indeed fired. Which is to say, "Battlestar Galactica" was cancelled. Starbuck, however, would not stay cancelled, but simply morphed into another flirting, cigar smoking, blatant heterosexual called Faceman. Another show, another set of Suits, and of course, if The "A-Team" movie rumors prove correct, another remake.
There was a time, I know I was there, when men were men, women were women and sometimes a cigar was just a good smoke. But 40 years of feminism have taken their toll. The war against masculinity has been won. Everything has turned into its opposite, so that what was once flirting and smoking is now sexual harassment and criminal. And everyone is more lonely and miserable as a result.
Witness the "re-imagined" "Battlestar Galactica," bleak, miserable, despairing, angry and confused. Which is to say, it reflects in microcosm the complete change in the politics and morality of today's world, as opposed to the world of yesterday. The world of Lorne Greene (Adama), Fred Astaire (Starbuck's Poppa) and Dirk Benedict (Starbuck). I would guess Lorne is glad he's in that Big Bonanza in the sky and well out of it. Starbuck, alas, has not been so lucky. He's not been left to pass quietly into that trivial world of cancelled TV characters.
"Re-imagining", they call it. "Un-imagining" is more accurate. To take what once was and twist it into what never was intended. So that a television show based on hope, spiritual faith and family is un-imagined and regurgitated as a show of despair, sexual violence and family dysfunction. To better reflect the times of ambiguous morality in which we live, one would assume. A show in which the aliens (Cylons) are justified in their desire to destroy human civilization, one would assume. Indeed, let us not say who the good guys are and who the bad are. That is being "judgmental," taking sides, and that kind of (simplistic) thinking went out with Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan and Kathryn Hepburn and John Wayne and, well, the original "Battlestar Galactica."
There's so much more.
I'm still searching for any point beyond:
I'm a bitter, washed-up never-was who once starred in a Mormon-themed Star Wars knock-off that never make it past season one. Like all men, my balls have since been cut off by politically correct feminists and Harvard Business School Technocrats who won't allow artists to maintain their creative integrity by playing every role as a sex-crazed, cigar-smoking Lothario, forcing them instead to reflect a sense of moral complexity. Fuck... They went and gave my character tits! Hey, who wants to make me a baby?
And we mustn't neglect this gem:
QuoteWomen are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Hamlet does not scan as Hamletta. Nor does Hans Solo as Hans Sally. Faceman is not the same as Facewoman. Nor does a Stardoe a Starbuck make. Men hand out cigars. Women "hand out" babies. And thus the world for thousands of years has gone' round.
Turns out Dirk once played Hamlet on Broadway...

QuoteTHE first casualty of the Musical Theater Works production of ''Hamlet'' at the Abbey Theater is language.
Only Claudius (Douglass Watson) seemed able to let the audience know he was at times speaking in verse. As for this Hamlet (played by Dirk Benedict, who may be well known to television audiences as Face in ''The A-Team''), he could not seem to get the stresses right. Given that disability, it seems cruel not to have simply cut out the Latin phrase hic et ubique from the ghost scene. At least someone might have told him the phrase is not French and that the last word is pronounced oo-bee-KWAY, not oo-BEEK.
...
The play is gutted of introspection, doubt and perplexity. Here Hamlet's question about being or not is a cynical joke, avenging Laertes is a mindless puppet, Ophelia's death is as impersonal as a car crash. Inevitably, the performance leaves one cold. All the action may be, as Horatio says, ''carnal, bloody and unnatural,'' and some of it is even spectacular, but it is as distant from one's own passions and thoughts as any ordinary prime-time thriller.
No word on Hamlet's inspired use of a gran corona in place of Yorick's skull.
If he doesn't like it, maybe he should stop appearing on the "inferior" remake, since his character is probably the worst thing to happen to the new series. This was rich:

The entire new series has been a struggle to keep hope and spiritual faith in the face of overwhelming odds. They do it by relying on their literal and figurative families aboard the Galactica. And where exactly is all the "sexual violence" in BSG?
What a cockface. Katee Sackhoff is 100 times the Starbuck he ever was.

No, Zarek (Richard Hatch) was Apollo. For years, he tried to get the series remade without owning the rights. Ron Moore and Co., who managed to acquire the rights and sell the series to SciFi, sort of threw Hatch a bone by writing him in the script as Zarek. (Unlike Dirk Benedict, Hatch never really went on to do anything big like A-Team. And Benedict's character in A Team is basically how he played Starbuck.)
The original series was OK for its time. Unlike the current series, Starbuck and Apollo were basically action hero/fighter pilots and the main stars of the show. Lorne Greene as Adama was there to pretend that it was a weighty show - not just a cheesy Star Wars knockoff. There were some other semi-important characters and a couple cute gals but Starbuck and Apollo carried the show.

The original was good because I was 7. The Cylons and the robot dog were cool.

QuoteThe creator of Battlestar Galactica is television writer and producer Glen Larson. According to the 42nd edition of Who's Who in America, Larson has an impressive array of credits as a writer, editor, or producer of a long list of television shows including McCloud, The Virginian, Six Million Dollar Man, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and Magnum P.I. Also according to Who's Who in America, Glen Larson is a member of the Mormon Church. This makes the appearance of Mormon theology in Battlestar Galactica as a coincidence highly unlikely.
Also (http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/battlestar-mormonica.htm)...
QuoteAccording to these articles, Glen A. Larson is member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and evidently chose Galactica (which was originally envisioned as Adam's Ark in the late 60's, around the time of Star Trek) to serve as a vehicle for expressing some Mormon beliefs.
And (http://www.geocities.com/sjpaxton/bgmormon.html)...

The "literally" modifies "everything" rather than "hitting the fan."
This could mean that
literally everything that could

If you're willing allow a bit of license for exaggeration, I'd say that this is just fine.

I guess that Dirk Benedict can back off now knowing that Starbuck was a guy before she was a girl.

Seems kind of silly to buy ANY DVD that isn't blu-ray anymore. SD DVD is the equivalent of vinyl circa 1992. Get Netflix to rent the SD of what you want to see only once, but buy what you want to keep on Blu-Ray.

Seems kind of silly to buy ANY DVD that isn't blu-ray anymore. SD DVD is the equivalent of vinyl circa 1992. Get Netflix to rent the SD of what you want to see only once, but buy what you want to keep on Blu-Ray.
Or just Netflix BluRay movies and rip them.

Much better looking in that special than that picture implies (or on the show, for that matter).
Does it make it not racist if she mocks the Indian accent.

So, where do we rank Grace Park, Tricia Helfer, Rekha Sharma, Lucy Lawless, Katee Sackhoff, and Kandyse McClure? Separate bracket for Kate Vernon, Michelle Forbes and Mary McDonnell?
It's pretty obvious that Six is one.

I don't know. I might put Tricia and Kandyse as #1 and #1a. Kandyse is smoking hot. Also, Lucy Lawless is old, and you are forgetting the DSL 2000, Stephanie Jacobsen. Not to mention the great-looking Racetrack, Leah Cairns.
I'm going to go:
1. Tricia (http://www.popoholic.com/bigimages/tricia-helfer-fhm2-01.jpg)

Kandyse is better looking off the show than on. Never had a great opportunity to show her off given her role. Racetrack is also always helmeted.
Hell, you could also do a whole side thing on just Baltar's harem.

That Stephanie Jacobsen never fails to remind me of tortellini. I'm fervently hoping she's killed off on T:SCC tonight.
Pretty good wrap up (although the DVR cut off the last 5 minutes). I loved the Boomer flashback. I wish the Baltar/6 visions were explained more (angels?) and the Starbuck thing really just seemed like they couldn't think of a way to tie off her arc, so they just made her go away. Apollo should've at least looked around like "WTF?" Loved the look on Tyrol's face when he saw the truth.

I liked it, too. I thought it was pretty awesome that Tyrol single-handedly kept the Cylon War going. Like that guy on the Star Destroyer that said, "Hold your fire. There are no life forms aboard." I thought it was a tad unnecessarily preachy at the very end, but I don't know how else they could have ended it.

Not a big fan of the "Angels" ending. And couldn't they have landed somewhere, like on Ionia where their religion could have become the Greek gods and also the place where modern science really began? 150,000 years? Also, something just wrong about all of the main characters going off on their own. What happens to Lee? Does he ever see his dad's cabin?
Those nits aside, the bulk of the episode was terrific. How great was that to see BSG original centurions shooting it out with modern ones. How great was the Opera House vision leading to CIC? How great was Chief, a cylon, simply snapping Tory's neck, another cylon, because Tory had airlocked Callie?
And how great was Mary McDonnell and Edward Olmos' last scene together in the raptor?
I think the final few eps were a let down since Zarek and Gaeta were executed. But this show was so good, even the not so good stuff was miles better than the best of anything else.
Bring on the Blu-Ray boxed set.

Then he'll be exactly what you expect. Not sure if this show will be able to maintain. The pilot was good, but slow. There's a hint of the old BG style of writing from a cop talking about monotheism and Bear McCreary's music is very good and hints at several old BG themes. Fork will enjoy the DVD version with multiple gratuitous nubile hogan shots that one expects would be pixelated out when broadcast.

I kept falling asleep for the last 15 minutes or so, but I got through most of Caprica last night. At least enough to say that the acting is as horrible as I thought it would be. I have no idea how Stoltz has maintained any semblance of a career. The guy is terrible. So was Trixie, Swearengen's whore. So was Zoe. Pretty much everyone sucked except for Esai Morales, who played Adama.

The Plan comes out on an unrated DVD and Blu-Ray (I finally get to see this stuff in HD) next week. Could that mean full frontal Tricia Helfer and Grace Park?
Regardless, should be good to see these characters again. Not sure what to think of Olmos directing.
I watched this entire series in just over a week. Sad as that may be, this show was pretty incredible. I think it has a very large number of flaws that were sometimes hard to get past (the B-rate acting, Baltar's rapid-fire character changes, making Tori one of the Final Five when she had been on the show for about 5 minutes, etc.), but it was still one of the greatest shows on TV. Something about it just feels important.
Also, Tricia Helfer is hot as shit.

The biggest flaw is that THEY'RE IN FUCKING SPACE, AND THEY CREATED ROBOTS SMART ENOUGH TO CREATE ROBOTS SIMILAR ENOUGH TO HUMANS TO MAKE HUMAN-ROBOT BABIES. Other than that, though, there were some parts where the lighting was totally unrealistic.

So anyone watching Caprica? It sounds good. Of course I haven't seen BSG yet - do I need to if I wanted to watch Caprica or is there no continuity there?
Also, Polly Walker should be naked often.

It's OK. No BSG background needed, but it doesn't hurt.

Eh. I'm sticking with it still, just because I want to see how the Cylons turned evil, but I honestly don't think it's very good. Eric Stoltz and Trixie are absolutely terrible at acting. So terrible that they're actually distracting.
Caprica is borderline terrible, and I think it's mainly due to casting. What a colossal disappointment. The only interesting character is Adama's gay brother, and he's disappeared from the show in the last few episodes. I hope the entire Graystone family gets Cylon cancer.

Me too. That show was terrible.
