More time for TV

I'm on leave for a few days to distract myself from turning 40. Aaarghh.

Anyway, its given me some time to do more reading, watching etc. Yesterday, besides going to Forbidden Planet and a trip to the cinema (see below), I also found time to watch the most recent episode of Heroes and start watching the final 5 episodes of Battlestar Galactica Season 3.

Heroes Chapter 12 "Godsend" was another great episode. Hiro was in it a lot (Yay!) and his attempt to acquire a special sword from a museum was well done. In fact the only character that I've yet to warm to is Niki/Jessica. Somehow, I just don't care what what happens to her. Mr. Bennett, however, is making a fine good guy/bad guy and has some nice one-liners.

BSG was another filler episode featuring the trouble and strife of the common man working in the fleet. In my opinion it was the worst episode of the whole season and felt a bit contrived and forced. Hopefully, the conclusion to the season will be on a par to the conclusion of season 2.
