It has taken me weeks to calm down after learning that the Emmys once again overlooked the remarkable work being done by the cast of Battlestar Galactica, particularly that of Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell.
It’s an absolute travesty that these talented performers continue to be ignored, especially now, when they are hitting every note so perfectly. Honestly, these two are giving Oscar-caliber performances — on TV!
In consolation, to Ms. McDonnell, Mr. Olmos and the rest of the BSG cast, I say, quite simply, thank you for your dedication to breathing life into your characters and this show. It is an absolute joy and my privilege to watch you work.
Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that 
qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...
