TV, Science Fiction, and Thee
Apr. 10th, 2008 11:14 amAgain for those of you who tune in for my writing bits, I have a short rant over at Wyrdsmiths' blog about Ken Tucker's review in Entertainment Weekly of Battlestar Galatica called "Now I'm Just Cranky...".
The title says it all, although for those BSG fans out there who might be thinking "aha,,Lyda's finally blown a gasket after Starbuck returned!," I don't really take on Tucker's talking points so much as his attitude towards science fiction in general.
I actually still haven't seen the premiere episode of BSG, and for the second time in so many weeks I'm kind of lamenting the fact that we don't have cable. God/dess knows I don't need any more TV in my life, but I always feel like I'm one step behind every other fan I know. I haven't read any of the new Brian Michael Bendis' Secret War stuff over at Marvel (because, again, I don't subscribe, and... uh, okay, that's more about my own laziness and the thinness of my wallet,) and I have no idea what happened on BSG. Plus, I'm a season behind on Dexter, which is a show I've fallen absolutely in love with.
Plus, last night, I realized that I still have 40,000 words to write on a novel due at the publisher in a month and three-quarters. Okay, if I write 1,000 words a day I've got it covered in 40 days, but the problem is that I've been clocking in a rather pathetic 500 -600 words a day. Time to step on the gas.
