Sunday Night TV

I guess the Oscars were tonight... I never watch the show, cause it's stupid and boring, but I'll check tomorrow to see who won what. But that means most shows were reruns tonight. Highlight for spoilers:

• Battlestar Galactica: Mostly another filler episode, and not a particularly exciting one, but it brought up some interesting ideas. It seems that almost everyone doing menial labor in the fleet is from one of the poorer planets. And the grunts in the trillium plant haven't had a day off... basically ever. So the question of the night is whether a strike counts as just a strike or is it mutiny?
  
  It also kept up with the idea that the different planets are culturally different and they have prejudices against each other, as introduced a while back with the Sagittarons and their refusal to take medicine or join the resistance on New Caprica. It also came up with the Baltar end of the story tonight... apparently he's been writing a book while behind bars, with his lawyer sneaking it out to the people. And it sounds like half Mein Kampf, half Communist Manifesto, in which he claims to be from one of the working class planets. And when confronted about it, he gets to show off a Scottish sounding accent, as it's apparently the native accent of wherever he's from.
  
  But since the Baltar storyline continues at a snail's pace, and the idea of the class struggle is more interesting in theory than it is in execution, the episode was pretty dull. I haven't been as unhappy with the previous few filler episode as a lot of people, but this one just wasn't good. Here's hoping things pick up soon.

On the Tivo: Still more TCM stuff, but that's it. I knocked out a couple over the weekend, and am way behind in writeups. So I'll be highly productive at work this week with a lot of blogging.
