BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - SEASON 1 (8/10)

USA/UK: Various Directors, 2004-2005 (Created by Glen A. Larson)

After hearing so much hype around this series it could have easily left me cold. However, I soon found myself totally addicted to BSG and have managed to watch all 13 episodes of Season 1, including the Miniseries Pilot shows, in little over a week. The Season one finale was thrilling and it has left me breathless for the next season.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Today, I have reach the milestone of 30!

ALIAS - SEASON 1

USA: Various Directors, 2001-2002 (Created by J. J. Abrams)

I certainly enjoyed this first season of ALIAS and I am pleased I took the time to sit down and watch it. Jennifer Garner is very engaging with real screen presence. However, I must say that the show does straddle the fence of action-drama and plain nonsense. The 'Rambaldi' storyline is central to this whole season and I did find the more science-fiction inspired plotting at a jar with the more 24-lite espionage and action sequences. Anyway, it pack enough easily digestible and silly entertainment for me to commit to watching the next season.

Score: 7/10
