P.S. I was a huge B5 fan, preferred it over BSG when they both come out.

The Prisoner was a favorite of mine as kid. I'm a big fan of Patrick MacGoohan. I really enjoyed him in Secret Agent. Last year, I read an articel on Mel Gibson who would cast MacGoohan as Edward Longshanks. According to the article, Gibson really had no idea who MacGoohan was only referring to him as a British stage actor. Good grief, Mel!

Sad news. Patrick McGoohan has died.

I just found out that cable tv is airing the B.S.G. Webisodes --- it's on "Comcast On Demand" (complimentary) - and watch it like a dvd...

Twenty five hours for the season's premiere of the final episodes! Christianity Today's weblog has an intestering article on BSG , today called Evolve or Die.

I know some of you catch the show later, so I won’t spin any beans here. I wouldn’t have guessed who the final cylon was that was revealed last night. Quite a few twists and surprises. Sigh, 9 episodes left.

I agree with you about the reveal. Based on things that developed earlier in the episode, I was sure it was going to be someone else.

I did like how they tied the other 4, who had already been to earth, back into the story, showing some back history of the planet. Very cool.

Ah, the good old days...

There was another British series, a children’s one I think, called the Tomorrow People. Something similar to the current Heroes series on TV.

Once a Sci Fi geek, ALWAYS a Sci Fi Geek!

I thought I was the only one who remembered the Tomorrow People!

'Course I was like 6 or seven at the time....it was the 70's.
It was re-made in '92.

Twists and surprises indeed! The reveal was quite the shock, quite unexpected -- can't wait to see how it all resolves.
