For those of you who turned on the old-skool electronic god (otherwise known as a "television", though who calls it that?) yesterday evening, and had your world shattered by the complete and utter absence of Battlestar Galatica, take heart.  It turns out that the various executives of the SciFi Channel decided to move its airing to Sundays, starting tomorrow, and holding for the forseeable future.  I would not venture to guess as to why they would do this - I never particularly understood how ratings and airtimes and the such worked - but, since I have TiVo, it really does not matter a whole lot to me.  Just be prepared for my insightful, thought-provoking, and educational posts (only in my dreams) about the show to be a little late, since I will likely be watching it Monday evening. 

However, if you are yearning for one of those aforementioned posts before Monday (and this one really will be insightful, thought-provoking, and educational), take a look at this one written by Rebecca Cusey.  Suffice it to say that I agree with her writings almost entirely, and her last three sentences, quoted below for convenience, are dead on the mark. 

By moving our current situation from the front page of the newspaper to the recesses of space, the show engages us in a national conversation about war, democracy, and commitment. It may not give all the answers, but it asks the right questions. This is what makes it the best show on television.

I would venture to add that it is because it does not give all of the answers that makes it so great, but that might just be me.  Regardless, here's to Sunday evenings.
