Last time on Battlestar Galactica season 4.5 virgin diary, the bumbling duo of Felix Gaeta and Tom Zarek joined forces to overthrow the military and government. They were none too pleased at the prospect of Cylons being allowed to become citizens of the fleet. I guess all those “toasters” and “skinjobs” walking around made them […]
Two episodes to go in Rescue Me‘s fifth season. How will it all end? That’s the million-dollar question, but it’s not the only one I have, as we drive toward the finale.
