Merry Christmas, Everybody!

If you have cable with those fancy On Demand features, consider turning on The Wonder Pets: Save the Nutcracker tonight.

It’s a program suitable for the entire family. As an adult, I loved it. As an adult, I still giggled at all the nutcracker stuff.

It will warp Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music for you though.

I say it’s worth it. Go, Wonder Pets! Yay!

The first webisode installment of The Face of the Enemy went live yesterday. How cool is it that there’s a commentary track available by Jane Espenson?

Quick thoughts from me:

• Awww, Gaeta and Hoshi.
• They can make Cylons but the best they have for an amputee is rickety crutches and a metal stump with an unarticulated ankle? This, more than the refining ship, tells me a so much about their societal hierarchy and values.
• Jane’s commentary track has plot spoilers.
• It’s so sad to know that we’re watching the final days of the BSG sets. They tore these down after the scenes were done. It makes my heart sad.

Frakin’ Battlestar folks. Have you seen You Will Know the Truth?
