“Maybe we’ll start Hamlet today. That has a skull in it.”

I really thought I could handle all the episodes of this show, but I think one season is good enough. (more…)

“Thrown out of college without enrolling first. I’m damn proud of you.” (more…)

Who knows what death-defying stunts Shelby will pull this time around?

Here I continue, on my somewhat fruitless quest to rewatch all of The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo.  I’m four episodes in and I’m still not sure what I’m getting out of this. Probably nothing.

La la la la laaaa.

Shelby Woo. I can’t quit you yet, not where there are still 10 more episodes of weird, wholesome, teenage crime-fighting hijinks. Apparently I have a lot of feelings about Shelby, so this time, I’ll just focus on one episode.

The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo ran for 41 episodes on Nickelodeon beginning in 1996 and I loved them all so much.

As I've mentioned before, this isn't my first time watching BSG. However, my memory's far from perfect, so I sometimes forget how they get out of certain scrapes. This was one of those episodes! Well, part of it was, at least. Also, I take a break from recapping to criticize the Adamas for just a moment. Intrigued? Read on! 

If I were to write my own “previously,” I think I’d mention … jeez, there’s a ton. Okay. The Cylons have taken over New Caprica, imprisoned Tigh, but let him out because Ellen is schtupping Cavil, Kara is imprisoned in a creepy forced-domestic life with Leoben, Adamas Jr. and Sr. are commanding their Battlestars, worried about everyone on the ground, Tyrol, Anders and Tigh have organized a resistance movement, with anonymous help from Gaeta, who’s working for Baltar, and as we ended last week, pulled off a suicide mission. Principals on Battlestars: Adamas Jr and Sr, Dee, Helo, Sharon, Kat, Racetrack. Everyone else is on the planet. And, oh, Callie and Tyrol are married with a bebeh. And Tigh’s lost an eye.

This is one of those episodes, isn’t it? Ugh. Anyway. Previously, on Battlestar Galactica, Sharon’s wiring herself into Galactica to save the ship, Lee’s in command of Pegasus, but not leaving Dee, and Starbuck’s coming back to Sam Anders. Oh, and Baltar is running for president.

We're nearing the end of the second season, folks! Just two more episodes — or rather, one two-part episode — and that's it! So, clearly, things are starting to get even more complicated, if that were possible. This week, my opinion of President Roslin takes yet another heavy hit (and after last week's episode, that's saying something!) and we're treated to the softer side of Cylons. It should go without saying, nothing but spoilers ahead. 

I suppose I should have told you this earlier, but I never watched Battlestar Galactica when it first aired. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it took some heavy campaigning on my best friend's part to get me to watch BSG (and, pretty much every other favorite television show of mine. She gives good advice). Anyway, she sold me on BSG by telling me that it was essentially The West Wing in outer space — something I've heard over and over again, from many sources. This week's episode, possibly more than any other, is The West Wing in outer space. So let's go see a guy about a thing, shall we?

Previously on Battlestar Galactica, Dualla kisses Billy, and then they flirt as they work out, but also, Dee is flirting with Lee as they work out. Sharon tells Adama that the Cylons hate the humans because humanity never asked itself why it deserved to survive, and perhaps they don’t.

Since Buffy disappeared after the events of “Becoming,” the gang has been trying to fill in for her as best they can. But three (and four, when Cordelia comes back from summer vacation) regular human beings do not equal one Slayer, no matter what the math says. The best Willow and the boys can do is not end up dead. Which, according to their "body count," is about all they’re doing.
