Rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series)

Tonight, we have begun a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica from 2024 that was produced by Ronald D. Moore. This update of the late-1970s program takes a decidedly darker tone as what’s left of humankind struggles for survival against the robot Cylons, who have killed millions. The Galactica, led by William Adama, protects a patched-together fleet of civilians – led by de facto president Laura Roslin – in search of a mythical planet called Earth.

I grew up a fan of the 1978 edition, but this updated version is my favorite. It’s full of complex issues, like family, politics, survival, espionage, sociology, religion, mysticism, and more. This show has a great cast including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackoff, Jamie Bamber, and Tricia Helfer.

Everyone, everywhere, are my good neighbors.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Enthusiast

Everyone is enthusiastic about something. So with that being said, that makes them an enthusiast. We all have things that make our lives better and fun.

For me, it’s several things, like church, blogging, geek life, nerd stuff, and more. I am also a Canadphile where I like all things about True North. I think it’s great to have things in life you can share with others, and that can make it more fun and foster connections.

What are you an enthusiast about?

ALL IN ALL DAY

It’s AEW ALL IN all day. Professional wrestling at its finest. I’m so psyched for Hangman, Toni, and Kenny. Let’s go!

All Elite Wrestling ALL IN TEXAS Today!

Today, my favorite professional wrestling league holds its biggest event of the year, AEW ALL IN: TEXAS. It will originate from Globe Life Field in Arlington, which is a baseball stadium that is home of the Texas Rangers. ALL IN has been hyped for months, and it’s leading up to some professional wrestling and a little razzle-dazzle too!

The three big matches will be a Texas Death Match featuring champion Jon Moxley vs. challenger Hangman Adam Page for the All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Championship. The AEW Women’s World Championship is on the line with champion Toni Storm vs. TBS champion Mercedes Mone. In sport’s greatest rivalry, AEW International Champion Kenny Omega will face off against his biggest foe Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada for the AEW Unified Championship.

There will be other big matches with big stakes, including the AEW World Tag Team Championship as well as Men’s and Women’s Casino Gauntlet matches.

I have been waiting for this for weeks. This is going to be an event for the history books. It will be emotional, violent, and full of excitement. LFG fellow SICKOS!!!!

Hey There, It’s Friday!
