Battlestar
Yesterday was the 1st episode of the final season of Battlestar Galactica. My sister, Penny had a get together at her home in N. Bonneville to watch it. I am a big fan of the show. Edward James Olmos is great as the captain, now admiral, and all of the acting is quite good as is the writing. I used to think I was losing it because I would tear up during some of the episodes. Then I heard, Eddie Olmos say that he frequently cried while reading the scripts. I once met 3 of the actors by chance at Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco. They were doing a photo signing promotion at a memorabilia shop there. I walked up to Tamoh Pennikett, shook his hand and said, "Best acting on TV." He jumped up in excitement, and thanked me profusely for saying that. Then, in his excitment he yelled to the other actors, who play Chief and Anders on the show, "Guys, guys, you gotta hear this--Best acting on TV, best acting on TV!" You would have thought I was Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese. I thought his reaction was quite sweet.

Uncle! I will now check out "Battlestar G." Too many friends love it, and with this endorsement, I can't be in the dark any longer.
Good luck with Imago!
Thanks, Miss Inge. By the way, you must start Battlestar from the beginning. It's impossible to figure out what's going on(at least in my experience)if you try to jump in in the middle.
