Trafficking the Hard Stuff

As RAZOR gets closer by the day, more reviews continue to pop up. The Los Angeles Times ran a quick one. But my favorite so far is definitely from Toronto's Globe and Mail, which begins like so:

It's a sci-fi drug trafficked by diehard space-show junkies and mainstream viewers alike, and chances are someone you know is already hooked. It takes two words to separate the addicts from the innocent: Battlestar Galactica. The tipoff is a hungry look in their eye, the one that appears with a chance to debate the Cylon wars, and what they symbolize in the post-9/11 world.

That's right, Battlestar Galactica. True, this is a “re-imagined” version of the original 1978 cheese fest, but can a remake of anything that starred Lorne Greene really be called one of the most important television shows of our time?

What the frak is going on?


You better believe it, baby...but don't look at me. I'm just a street-level dealer.
