Lost Planet of the Gods

Yesterday I was scanning my newly received bookshelf for something to read. I was in a science-fictiony mood and was being reminded of simpler times. There was really nothing there that interested me. It made me wish I had searched Half-Priced Books for more than just that MASH book. Bewildered by my lack of accomplishment during the search I turned to the one thing that may hold the solution to my dilemma; the television. So there I am, flipping through the few channels my broken antennae can pick up and amongst the haze what do my tired eyes recognize but two Viper starfighters flying across my screen. Oh what joy I did receive when the Battlestar Galactica stood before me. Appolo and Starbuck got lost while exploring a mysterious void that stood before the Galactica while the Viper crews fell ill to a mysterious bacteria. Shuttle pilots made up of mostly women were then sent into battle against the attacking Cylons as they cleared the way for a science vessel to land on an asteroid and find a cure for the mysterious ailment afflicting the Viper pilots. It was a two parter so I may check out the ending next Saturday. My thirst was quenched once more, but that wasn't the end. After Battlestar Galactica Star Trek was on. I didn't sit through the whole episode though it was playing behind me as I was thwarting the ever-growing zombie threat on-line. I still wish I had a book to read because my science fiction innards are rumbling once again and this time my TV isn't coming to my rescue. I'm settling by listening to some astro-rock. So until next time travelers,

"Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last battlestar, Galactica, leads a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest for a shining planet known as Earth."
