Personal Scifi Update

So my wife and I finished the first season of Battlestar Galactica and oh man was it good. I don't know if you are like this though, but the ending made me hate the show. Hate in the way that it was so good and it ended in so much suspense that I'm absolutely frustrated that I watched it to begin with, while still loving that I did watch. I know, very paradoxical. Though I suppose the silver lining is that we don't have to wait a summer to see the next season ;).


The second thing I wanted to mention was a pretty nifty internet radio station that exclusivly plays scifi and fantasy movie and tv show soundtracks. It's pretty much all I listen to at work now, if only I could get the music on my pandora ><. Oh well the site is ScifiRadio.net and though I only had to download the play list that auto launched my iTunes to listen the first time, after that I had to register with live365.com :/. Hope if you are looking for something new to kill the hours with, this will be something for you. And if you know of some other internet scifi radio post a comment below.

When I came across ScifiRadio.net, I was in the middle of looking for a station that played old or new scifi radio shows. Why you might ask? The Leviathan Chronicles, that's why. Oh you never heard of it? Its a contemporary science fiction podcast that plays like an classic radio show but with with modern voice acting and sound effects. As of this post there are only 2 hour long shows posted with apparently 2 more episodes on the way before you will have to start paying to listen to the rest of the series. Its really hard to summarize it unfortunately so here are the elements I come away with from the audio trailer and episodes so far: submarines, immortals, and government conspiracies. Here is, oddly enough, a promotional video for LvC.
