argh, totally forgot about bsg when i did mine. cannot wait for pegasus movie and then new season!!

have heard great things bout dr. who. so w/ you on galaxy quest also, i LOVED that movie!

That's because it's been months since BSG was on. Stupid Sci-Fi. Movie's out soon!

Doctor Who is great. The last 3 seasons (Christopher Eccelstone and David Tennant as the Doctor) have really revitalized the series. I'm not sure about the direction they're going for season 4 though.

Galaxy Quest is one of my favourite comedies. Unlike the obvious parodies like Scary Movie, Date Movie, etc., this one is smart, dead-on, and not ridiculous. It actually had me LIKING Tim Allen. He embodied Shatner without "doing" Shatner.

As a Canadian, you just gotta love the Colbert Report.

Nice obscure call on Galaxy Quest. Cheesy though it seems, it ended up being a really cute movie.

the funniest part is that i've never seen star trek, and had no idea it was a satire of shatner! i just thought it was a really funny comedy.

dr. who is one of those shows i plan to marathon when the day finally comes that i'm "in between" jobs (along w/ the shield, rescue me and oz).
