Total nerdgasm.
As a big fan of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series of which I sat glued to all 98 episodes, I just got a bit of a look at the prequel series, "Blood and Chrome." and I'm pretty charged with excitement.
Set 10 years into the first Cylon war and with a young William Adama fresh out of the academy and with a brand spanking new Galactica as the fleet's pride of position.
Take a look at the teaser

Bear McCreary does it again with his music score to go with it. Full soundtrack
here, perfect background music for those long nights in the observatory. I bought his
soundtrack to BSG season II and can't get enough of it.
Also this week, I got to see
Pacific Rim, a movie about big robots and big monsters duking it out over cities with mass-carnage. I was expecting a spectacle and that's all.
To my utter surprise, it was actually a not a bad flick. The CG was good, the acting was OK, considering it was done by mostly nobodys even though I've seen their faces around. Believe it or not there was even a bit of story in it.
It's not award winning stuff by any means, but I think it's worth the cinema fee.
