TV A Battle Star Galactica guide for the non-viewer.

Hey, there! I’m job-shadowing at the Portland Mercury today and was offered the chance to write my very first blog. So being the compassionate person I am, I wanted to write something that would help educate readers. Here’s my attempt!

The fourth season of Battle Star Galactica begins tonight, as you’ve certainly realized if you’re reading the Mercury’s blog. And while everyone here at the Mercury watches this show, I figure someone out there might not. If that person is you, some of the polls below might seem confusing. I’m here to help you make socially acceptable answers. And while I’ve never actually seen an episode of Battle Star Galactica, after job-shadowing here, I feel I’m somewhat of an authority on the subject.
Over the past few hours, this is what I’ve learned:
This show involves space ships. (But it’s not just space ships, it’s also social commentary.)
Everyone hates Cally because she is emo. (?)
Starbuck has a moose-face.
Apollo being the most attractive male on the show is debatable.

Hopefully that wasn’t too much information to digest in one sitting. If you’ve managed to grasp it all, then you now know enough to vote “yes” that Starbuck is moose-faced, “Cally” to throw out the airlock, and that it’s fine to decide for yourself if you would do Apollo in the bottom. That’s all I have! And to anyone that won’t give me the street-cred I’ve earned if I post this anonymously, this is Audrey White.

Is there anyone working at the Mercury who isn't a sad an lonely nerd with nothing better to do on a Friday night than stay in and watch scifi TV?

Duh, it's called TiVo.

At the risk of being attacked by a bunch of angry nerds (they're nerds so I can take 'em down, right?), not *all* Mercury employees watch Battlestar Galactica.

I DO NOT WATCH IT, nor do I ever intend to.

Though I will admit Anders is pretty hott.

Ok, so is it more or less sad if you're turn down dates or free Kill Rock Stars shows in favor of BSG? Your responses will help me make my evening plans...

Glad to see you finally hired a vaguely-ethnic person. Oh wait. Unpaid intern. Fake photo.

oh, this was cute. :)
I feel that I could participate in a faked conversation of BSG now.
"your name is cali?! like the bitch on BSG?!"
"yeah, oh man. she's fuckin emo. they should have an episode where she has a cutting problem or something."

audrey white sounds like a singer songwriter-y name.

You're posting under MY "unpaid arts intern" sig ... I'm going to be changing the password stat!

In other news, I don't know anything about BSG (except that the cool kids call it BSG). But I hear it's all an allegory for God/Jesus and shit. I'd rather read me some Narnia for that. kthxbi
