A to Z Challenge: Cylons...what are those?

I have a confession to make.  Until a few months ago, I didn't know what Cylons were.

You see, I have a bad habit of missing the good geeky TV shows until they're off the air (or in their final season).  Examples:

• Firefly
• Lost
• Battlestar Gallactica
• Futurama (ok, that one's been brought back...now)
• Veronica Mars
• Dead like Me
• Arrested Development
• I'm sure there are others that I can't think of at the moment.

So anyway, back to Cylons and Battlestar Gallactica.  One Friday night, the husband and I decided to give it a go on Netflix instant play.  We had been meaning to start the show for a while, but the pilot movie was only available on DVD, so we (being addicted to instant gratification) put it off.

Then one day, low and behold, the movie was on.

So we watched it.

And loved it.

And proceeded to watch all of season one that weekend.  Now, BG fans know why we did.  Because each stupid episode leaves you hanging at such a critical moment, we kept saying, "Just one more episode."

We're now working our way through the other seasons and enjoying it, but with a bitter-sweetness because we know it will soon end.
