Hi, this is Kelly Holly Harnsongkram writing from Woodland Hills, CA!Hello all! This show sounds super cool! I'd like to see their extra-terrestrial take on the Iraq war. I wonder how it will end. Will they ship the humans off to some foreign planet and then desert them there to be picked off one by one or ambushed? Hmm, maybe art won't imitate life that honestly. We'll see. Either way, hope it's worth watching.

After reading the title of this new show, for a minute there I thought we were going to get a series about giant, irradiated ants. I'm glad I was wrong.

marlen: Yeah, Moore talks about the Iraq (and real world in general) connections all the time in his blog. They state, however, its not an exact allegory, but an allegory all the same.

David Isa Saalabi here from Florida. Excellent news! I love BSG so will definitely check Them out. Any idea when it might be hitting our screens?

BSG is not a metaphor for Iraq?

From Variety and the horse's mouth:

Indeed, Eick said, much as "Battlestar" is a "metaphor for Iraq, foreign policy and how we view our enemy, 'Them' is about the war on terror, writ large.

How many times do Ron and David have to tell you "professionals" that BSG is not about Iraq? Ten? Twenty? A hundred?

Just curious.

I am actually looking forward to The Bionic Woman.

I'll tell you why.

If you would have told me 5 years ago that one of the best, most critically acclaimed shows on television would be Battlestar Galactica I would have laughed.

The idea that they could take something as goofy and camp as the original BSG and turn it into what they have, makes me wonder what they will do with The Bionic Woman.

It seems these guys can take the campy, guilty pleasures of our youth and turn them into critically acclaimed shows. I am all for it.

What do you guys think will be the next campy show to be re-imagined?

Maybe Buck Rodgers?

I'm excited to see John McNamara on the project. I loved Profit and Eyes; hopefully this will get more than a few episodes.

Isn't David Eick also doing that super hero woman show, the BSG spinoff Caprica and BSG? Isn't he biting off more than he can chew?

But it's on Fox so they will most likely make 13 episodes, never air them and cancel it anyways.

Hmm, this looks promissing.
The subject has much similarities with BSG. And if David Eick can get the show to the same level of writing and acting as BSG. He'll finally get the credit he deserves (since fox has a bigger audience). Though, i hope he has enough time left in his life to keep BSG rolling superbe...
