Yesterday's trip to introduce Gunnar to his Uncle Sparky went great, everybody
got along famously, and by the end 14-year-old Sparky was horsing around with
the youngsters like he was a puppy himself. Gunnar did leave a submarine-sized
turd in the bedroom, but it cleaned up pretty readily, and he was forgiven for
his toilet training shortcomings. This morning, however, Hudson the wonder dog
resumed her recent spate of picking on the other dogs in her trail-running pack,
focusing on large males and unfamiliar faces, as she seems quite determined to
exert her dominance over the group as alpha dog... if this continues as it is, I
may actually have to stop taking her out to run with this crowd, which would be
a shame.

Well, Battlestar Galactica is great. But it's on SciFi so a lot of people can't watch it.
Personally I liked parts of the recent "Dark Universe" episodes, but it was mostly nastalgia. Seeing the set for an old ToS style bridge was a hoot as was the old uniforms. Kind of like "Trials and Tribulations" was one of my favorite DS9 episodes.
SG-1 is getting pretty stale. It has its moments but I think they should just cancel it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the series and have a couple of seasons on DVD box sets but sometimes I feel like they're dragging it on too far (like the X-Files were).
Atlantis will probably last around 3 or 4 seasons, and while nowhere near as good as SG-1 was in its prime it's "decent" SciFi for now. But I don't think it has the "staying power" SG-1 had so I don't think it will hit as many seasons.
We need some GOOD SciFi shows on the air besides Galactica. Firefly was great but it's long-since dead (and some didn't think it was Sci-Fi enough). Ironically, the one network that should provide more and better SciFi series isn't doing its job. It's providing us dreck tv films like "Mansquito" and "Man-Thing" and ignoring series (except for their precious StarGate fanchise).
I miss Showtime's SciFi shows. They were great. They had SG-1, Odysee 5, Jerimaih (sort of SciFi).
