Firefly: The Complete Series has arrived, along with the soundtracks for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. I hope Firefly lives up to expectations. I'm going to wait to see it until there's a discount to purchase the movie Serenity, though. Then I can view it all in one run.
I'm enjoying reading the Babylon 5 novel, To Dream In the City of Sorrows, which arrived yesterday. I finished re-reading The Golden Compass recently and started re-reading The Subtle Knife. My parents and I watched the DVD of The Golden Compass yesterday, which was the first time my father had seen the movie. My parents still need to read the His Dark Materials trilogy. My mother and I are starting a re-watch of Neverwhere today.
Excited for Dollhouse tomorrow! Battlestar Galactica: The Plan and Doctor Who: The Next Doctor will be arriving next week!
If you haven't already, I suggest all BSG fans without spoilerphobia head to http://www.battlestargalacticadvd.com/, where there are three clips from The Plan.
Sidenote: The Final Five comic issue #3 actually has Tyrol use the abbreviation "Rez Hub". Too bad it's not canon.
Had several unrelated dreams of little coherence last night. Some were BSG and had the characters in the wrong places because it was supposed to be different characters in those scenes. For example, Tory when it was supposed to be Boomer. My brain's explanation for this: It's an episode where the characters are having a dream sequence.
Dreams I can remember:
*Tory/Boomer with Cavil. For some reason the Eights were with Cavil whereas the Sixes were correctly with Galactica. Something was going on about human families, including children, being processed and killed. Eights were cooing over the fact that there were children around. It was supposed to be Cavil's fleet but it was a lot like New Caprica. In appearance, it was like a hotel designed by MC Escher. Cavil studying All Along the Watchtower (except it was actually random paragraphs of words and not AATW, but I thought it was AATW and I got the tune right at least) to uncover the Final Five's master plan. Plan was put into motion. New Caprica-esque explosions.
*Draco Malfoy in Ravenclaw AU. I thought this was a fanfic I was creating, even though I was seeing it play out before me in the dream. I argued with myself about what kind of changes to canon plot development make sense. I planned to do Sirius Black in Slytherin next.
*Myself skimming through episodes of that old show Max Steel online. The dream videos, of course, bore little resemblance to the show in reality. They were very short and all the action happened either at the end or the beginning of each one. This annoyed me.
Edit: Agreement over at Battlestar Blog: http://community.livejournal.com/battles
Since the Cylons of Battlestar Galactica have the ability to manufacture hordes of living humanoid bodies with no consciousness in them, they would be able to peacefully solve the host body problems of the Animorphs Yeerks or the food source problems of the Stargate Atlantis Wraith.

Hello, flist. Just letting you know that I've just finished writing the summary for issue 3 of this comic at Battlestar Wiki. I wrote the summaries for issues 1 and 2 as well. It's an interesting read, but I'm afraid they got a detail wrong in the latest one, unless that's somehow explained in issue 4.
