For Your Information...

(1) …yes, I WILL be writing a review of the Battlestar Galactica two-part season finale…but I’m waiting until the second episode to write a single, summative review.

To be honest, Doctor Who has had such an amazing, gripping season so far, it’s blotted out most other shows — even Galactica — from my consciousness. I need a bit of re-grouping before I turn my attention to this year’s concluding chapter of our rag-tag fleet…

(2) …yes, I’m STILL going to wait until the (very likely) fall broadcast of Doctor Who season 2 on CBC before posting full scale reviews. Mind you, I WILL write a season summary once the BBC run is finished, and I have everything on disc…

(3) …if the season finale of HOUSE didn’t convince you of its outrageous brilliance, then you’re simply out of your mind.

What other show could assemble such a powerful meditation on the nature of humanity, medicine, and frailty…then frame the story around a patient with a tongue that puffs up to the size of a loaf of bread…an eye that pops out of its socket…an exploding testicle…and final, gory oblivion: evisceration via the business end of a state-of-the-art surgical robot!

That’s right…I didn’t make ANY of that up! smile
