scottishlassLet me tell you a story ... this is the tale of a spacecraft carrier ... a space battle ship cruising the unknown depth of space in search and in pursuit of an enemy that seems so cold and ruthless humanity might lose its battle against it.
Sound familiar?
Okay, now in this battle between humanity and this cold ruthless enemy, suddenly a superfighter appears. It seems as if the rules of gravity and space to space combat have been annihilated and the hardware as well as the skill of this superfighter are both formidable and downright scary.
Pitched against this superfighter is now one lone human - a human who is flawed, a human who asks him or herself who that person is as well as what the point is in all this. Love and friendship come and go - in war nothing is steady. That one human is damaged goods ... suspiciously eyed by friend and foe, a loner, a trouble maker ... a fallen angel.
Sound familiar?
Lost loves and lost friendships - what is real and what is love? Who Am I? And what's the point? One human pitched against an alien. Is it destiny? Is it fate? Is is just coincidence? This one human takes his or her chance. Engaging against this superfighter who has the mystical skills of all the big flyboy aces of Earth. A veritable Von Richthofen.
Sound familiar?
Watching BSG I feel soooooooooo reminded of S:AAB. If you think I just recounted BSG 2.15 "Scar" then you are mistaken ... that was S:AAB 1.15 The Angriest Angel which happened to be aired first almost to this day 11 years ago (11th February 1995) and was written by Glen Morgan & James Wong.
11 years ago S:AAB dunked, 11 years later BSG is all the rage and I wonder if the TV audience wasn't up to it 11 years ago. *sniff*
