Crusade: S01E01: Racing the Night

The second part of Battlestar Galactica starts off exactly where the first one ended. There was no credits, no opening music, nothing. Even Lord of the Rings flashes the movie title at the beginning of subsequent films, night two of the miniseries didn’t even give us that.
Their original purpose was to make the lives of the colonists easier by performing mundane tasks. However as the Cylons gained popularity the colonists required that more work be performed by their mechanical servants.
Col Tigh is the executive officer aboard the Battlestar Galactica. He’s an old solider who’s grown cynical and jaded to the world. So much so that its cost him his marriage and many of his friends.
He does everything by the book and then returns the book to the library on time. The only thing more perfect than his military performance, is his ability to plot FTL jumps.

If you’re like me, you have a Pavlovian response to a telephone’s ring. For me I feel the need to end the ringing with a heavy mallet. Why? Because usually its not good news.
ur story starts off an another uninhibited planet. The crew is standing outside a giant temple, trying to find a way in… for the last 12 hours. The temple is rumored to be a place of healing. But for a “hospital” it has some really thick armor, so blasting their way in is not an option.

Alright porno! Now this is how you start off an episode right. Captain Gideon is watchin’ smut. And not just ordinary adult entertainment, but the kinky alien stuff. It turns out that Eilerson had to quickly give Gideon a report, and he used an old data crystal.

Chani is Paul’s Muad’Dib Atreides’s true love and the mother to his three children. To say that Chani loves Paul is an understatement. She would give or do anything for him, as a matter of fact it’s how she died!
