The Battlestar Galactica premiere got a 1.6 rating. Last season and the season before got 2.6 ratings on premieres, and last season finale was a 1.9. Considering how heavily advertized BSG was compared to Stargate(which got a 1.5 or so for the premiere this season) the ratings will probably go down from here. It is completely obvious that the seperation of Stargate and BSG was a bad idea. And yet somehow Bonnie Hammer and Mark Stern keep their jobs.

I was searching for this particular article on the list of squiggleslash's journals for a while. Finally found it half-by-accident: So true...and yet it's a liberal media? Unfortunately "Click" was a non-obvious title.

And now that I have your attention, I'm going to talk about something completely unrelated. I stole this technique from squiggleslash who used the same headline but about OS X to talk about the plotholes in a movie he(?) didn't like. This should be interesting. I wonder how it'll play out.
And in a completely unrelated note, I'm incredibly excited about the upcoming episode of Stargate SG-1. As anyone who has watched the (US) Sc

I have decided to check my influence by starting a meme. However, I have no creative ability whatsoever to actually make that meme. Ergo, I've decided to dump the responsibility on you by creating the meme of creating crappy memes that won't go anywhere! *laughs evilly*

Today I finally no longer have braces. Now I'll finally be able to eat ribs, which are banned while you're in braces. The only downside is that in certain ways the retainer sucks more than the braces do.
