Have just been watching some Jeeves & Wooster from the third series, when the two are in New York and staying in that swanky apartment. This episode contained the first scene where Jeeves and Wooster play a duet on the piano, and I found myself staring in wonder at the sheer slashiness of it all.

....boy, that was grim. Grim, grim, grimmity grim. Can't say I liked it exactly, but I didn't always like BSG either. (Razor was pretty much unwatchable at times).

Wonder if he'll have any scenes with that very scary Brit actress (whose name I can't remember) who played the terrorist nun?

I'm also looking forward to seeing if Ron Moore can make a decent attempt at world building while maintaining the critique on our own society. We'll see. At any rate, it's superior, if disturbing, stuff.

ETA: Have just realised where I'd seen the scary nun actress before. It was in The OC. She isn't a Brit at all, is she? Oops! Yes, she is, and she was never in The OC, of course. She was Atia in Rome.
