During season six of Seinfeld there was an episode titled “The Label Maker.” Throughout the proceedings, Kramer and Newman engage in a battle for world domination, which for those not in the know, is the game of “Risk.” As the episode concludes, the bumbling duo must finish their game while riding a subway train (don’t […]
My brother warned me. He told me when I started watching Battlestar Galactica I would reach a point of “no mas.” He didn’t tell me when this would happen, but he assured me it definitely would. His sentiments seem to jive with most other die-hard fans of the series. As much as I’ve tried to […]
