sombrefanSo I post the Wizard interview at Whedonesque and in it there's a lovely quote about BSG from Joss.
Wizard Interview
"But I just watched the miniseries opener of “Battlestar Galactica” and I loved the toes off that bitch. I’m not positive what that phrase means. But tension, drama, humanity, and—alien spaceships. I was pretty floored. That’s my call."
And then shortly after I post that , Joss returns to Whedonesque (after a long absence) and posts about the show in the thread.

"I'm just sneaking in to say I've been continuing to watch BSG, the wife and I are about halfway through season one and gushing isn't gonna cover this one. You guys have heard me gush, so it won't have any real meaning. You have to imagine Pauline Kael bursting into song, Lionel Barrymoore In "Wonderful Life" jumping up and jitterbugging with George Bailey, the Grinch's heart growing three sizes... you gotta start down there to explain what it feels like up here. I'll put it simply. The show is humbling. Not since the Matrix (the first one) have I had such a strong desire to go to writing school. I think it's so passionate, textured, complex, subversive and challenging that it dwarfs everything on TV. Or in theaters. Or boho perfomances spaces. Stuff hanging in the Tate? Not as cool. I'm not gonna go on, because I have to get back to work and because if I really start, this post will crash the internet from sheer length. Only downsides are a) I was already having a crisis of confidence, thank you very much and b) I can't go near any Sci-Fi mags for fear of spoilers. Apart from that, life is to be loved. The Gods are to be praised. Back to the job. -j."
Expect to see that comment appear on umpteen BSG forums. And check out the rest of the interview. As Joss interviews go, it's one of the best.
