Edward James Olmos

             Today, February 24, is the 60th birthday of Edward James Olmos, Battlestar Galactica's Admiral Adama.

Battlestar Galactica 3.5

Battlestar Galactica's season three resumes tomorrow night (Sunday, January 21) at 10:00pm Eastern time.Though it has only been slightly over a month since the first half of season three ended, it seems much longer to me.

To make the season 3.5 debut even more interesting for me, since I am an avid Indianapolis Colts fan, it is premiering after the Colts/Patriots playoff game tomorrow night. Now, if the game happens to run long or go into overtime, I have a tough decision to make. However, I know already what I will do. I will record Galactica on my DVR and watch Peyton Manning and the Colts. I couldn't stand the suspense if I didn't. We might be going to the Super Bowl!!

                      

                        

Cylon Jack-o-Lantern

Make magazine gives us the instructions for making this wonderful Cylon jack-o-lantern. See the instructions here. I may actually try this. I haven't made a jack-o-lantern for a long time and this looks amazing.

Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Soundtrack Received

I received my copy of the Battlestar Galactica season two soundtrack on Thursday. I had pre-orderd it from LaLaLandrecords.com several weeks ago. I finally had time to listen to it Saturday afternoon. It lasts just a bit over 78 minutes and is absolutely glorious.

I liked every track on this CD, which rarely happens for me. Usually, there is at least one track on any CD I listen to that I don't like, but not on this one.

My favorite tracks are: Baltar's Dream, which uses the drums I love so to create an almost swingy rhythm. Something Dark is Coming; Scar, which uses the drums and percussion very effectively; and Dark Unions.

My second favorite track is Reuniting the Fleet, which uses the Irish melodies which first appeared in season one during scenes between Admiral Adama and Apollo. This music is so hauntingly beautiful it makes my heart ache when I hear it. This made me cry.

My very favorite piece on the CD is Prelude to War, which is eight minutes of sheer brilliance. This piece uses all the elements I love most in Galactica's music, especially the drums and percussion, to create a rising tension and expectancy in the listener for the coming confrontation and battles.

If you haven't heard this CD yet, buy or borrow it ASAP. I can't recommend it highly enough.
