Lev clearly does not want to educate himself in the finer points of nerdhood. Can we please talk about how incredibly attractive Felicia Day is? I thought she was great in Dr. Horrible, but having her bounce around to Project Natal is new level of hotness. Guys, enough about the BSG.

Between 3/3 and 3/31 the final five episodes of BSG aired, and there I was reading nerd world the whole time. After every post I'd think to myself "Lev gets more excited about *this* than BSG?" Family Guy finally made me snap. For the record, I've never met Lev (he never replied to my Seattle invite), but I am mighty pleased with the continued hounding. Never f*ck with nerds- we'll make your life miserable. I'm guessing Lev was mistaken about who started this, but if someone out there is copping my incredibly original handle, they will be sorry (see previous sentence).

However, it will not be apart of the most recent vision or the original. Still centered on the characters and humans fleeing cylons in search of the mythic Earth. Look there is usually a rule with stuff like this. You cant remake something so soon after one was made. Incredible Hulk was an exception but even that I thought it was too early, even though I thought Incredible Hulk was leagues better than Lee's Hulk.

I took Lev’s comment to mean he doesn’t have time to watch a lot which leads to the cons of being a critic/reviewer. You can’t always enjoy the shows/films/books etc... You normally would. I could be wrong but that is what I gathered and then a commentator jumped on it and hounded and hounded Lev for not watching BSG. If its justified admonishment then lets slander him for the Lost. Because in the same blog he stated he outsourced reviews for Lost as well. And my opinion, Lost is plan fantastic, yes it’s had its mistakes like any series, but its just plain fantastic. . Note: I don’t really recommended tar and feathering Lev, just a little dry sarcasm. @Church: The post you cited.

Remember the game of "Phone" back in elementary/primary school, classic example.

BSG is one of, at least, the greatest Sci-Fi shows but more time is needed to truly label it a classic so that we may better consider the socio-political/religious themes and elements and to allow all those themes and nuances to set in. Not too mention some of the faux pas that even Moore admitted of doing. However, the show did recover from the certain mistakes it made and improved upon it, the ending put to the side, regardless of your personal view on the crappy or enlightened ending we received, which I have still yet to see the show overall is indeed revolutionary in Sci-Fi story telling. . Yes the D&D animation was great as was the D&D themed Futurama DVD. Yeah for the return of obscure scientific references show. I love a show that can make me feel smart and dumb at the same time by make references, that I know and ones I am ignorant of, in the same breath. . "For all any of you know I am masquerading as bryon12 playing all of you." I was going to say that, but alas the real bryon12 spoke before I could.

If it is byron12 who's claiming credit, he's overreaching. @16 Kemper, byron12 definitely helped, but anon76 mentioned it first, and Dave was on it about as quickly as byron was.
