Wait! You actually LIKED something?!?! I gotta see that then. *type*
*type* *type* Oh, its already in my Netflix disc queue. And high
enough up that it will probably only be eight or so years before I get
to it! :P

As for what I watched, first I watched 'Battlestar Galactica: Blood and
Chrome'. A TV movie from 2012 that is a sorta prequel to the 2004
series showing William Adama's first mission. Which of course is the
most critical mission of the first war with the Cylons. Which he was
assigned to literally within 5 minutes of stepping on board Galactica
for the very first time. The rest of the movie made about that level of
sense.

Then I watched a season 2 episode of 'Starhunter Redux' as I slowly chip
away at that backlog on the DVR.

So, what did you watch?
