Romeo is sliding over to the guest chair for Battlestar Galatica!  With a 2003 miniseries that led into a television series that lasted for five seasons, Battlestar Galactica garnered large recognition from fans, critics, and scholars.  We should've done the show sooner, but we didn't have the guts. so get your fraking butt to the CIC!
