Battlestar Galactica

While some of some of my favorite series are waiting for the new episodes to be aired (or resumed), and I need to watch something. Friend of mine, Chuck, has been recommending this Battlestar Galactica for a while now, so I figure, I’ll download them and start watching. So here goes.

Ok, first of all, it’s old. This series has been around for a while (started at 1978, then come the 2003 miniseries reimagining the 1978 original series, then continued to TV series since 2004), and it still on-going, but hey, good series are always enjoyable :) . By the way, this post is about 2003 miniseries continued with the 2004 TV series (now it’s season 4). I don’t know about the original series.

Battlestar Galactica is a science-fiction TV series about the nearly-end human being fighting itself to survival after almost being destroyed by Cylons. Cylons are created by human, to make human life easier, but then the cylons turn against their creator and started a war to destroy human being. The first war (which are not told in the series, by the way) ends with agreement where cylons leave human to build the world of their own. 40 years pass, no-one ever hear from Cylons again, when suddenly they come back, and attempt destroy The Twelve Colonies of man. The war ends bitterly at human side, the twelve colonies were destroyed. One battlestar, Galactica, however were away during the attack, and together with some survived civilian fleet, they started a long journey, running away from the cylons, in search of Earth, a place according to the scriptures, are the place where the thirteenth colonies of human reside.

Quick reviews

Just thought I’d post some quick reviews on recent items I’ve been seen / read :

  • The Bartimaeus Trilogy : Golem’s eye
  • Second book of the The Bartimaeus trilogy, Bartimaeus, my favorite sarcastic djinni returns in his adventure with Nathaniel, two years later where now Nathaniel starts his career in magician government. Nathaniel is now responsible for destruction of The Resistance, pack of non-magicians or so-called “commoners” lead by Kitty Jones, who occasionally causes disturbance to the establishment of magician power. Following occasional appearance of Golem, an almost ancient magical creatures, the tension in the country rises higher than ever, Nathaniel, Bartimaeus and Kitty crosses path and involved in a highly dangerous, planned attack against the government.

    Kepemimpinan Muda Indonesia

    Wacana kepemimpinan muda di kancah politik Indonesia sudah mulai bergulir sejak musim kampanye Pemilu 2009 digulirkan beberapa waktu silam. Nama-nama seperti Tifatul Sembiring, Fadjroel Rahman, Rizal Mallarangeng, Hidayat Nur Wahid, dan Yusril Ihza Mahendra mulai mencuat ke permukaan menantang nama-nama lama seperti Amien Rais, Megawati Soekarnoputri, Gus Dur, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, maupun Jusuf Kalla untuk berebut kursi presiden 2009.
