Battlestar Grammactica

And here, for the time being, directly from the servers at Hulu is the pilot episode of Stargate Universe. Yes, the cheese factor is a little high on this one. It steals liberally from just about every other other Science Fiction ( Not Syfy) show in recent memory…. Battlestar, Voyager, DS9, Heck, even “Lost in Space” (And “Lost” for that matter…). Yet I kinda enjoy it. It’s like a spicy Mulligatawny stew- You know what the pieces are, but the broth holds it all together. Enjoy.

The big problem with the internet is that it seems like it’s designed to make you feel like an idiot on purpose.

I don’t mean the fact that every question you post on Yahoo!Answers is answered by some snotty 12-year-old. I don’t mean that every time you try to do research you have your choice of either an impenetrable thesis or incorrect wiki.

I mean the fact that even though you try to stay abreast of news and features, even though you subscribe to dozens of feeds, constantly google, search Technorati and have alerts automatically sent to your cell phone, you still come across a nifty, cool, useful and entertaining site after millions of other people already know about it. On the Internets, you’re always a Noob somewhere.

Hulu is a free TV and movie Streaming site. Yes Free. As in , Get-your-fix-of-the-A-Team-right-now. As in no money down. Not $1.99. Not $.99. Free.

There’s a catch- The number of shows is inversely proportional to the age and DVD availability. A show airing today might only have the last couple episodes. A classic on DVD might have the entire first season. A show which is no longer selling might have nearly it’s entire run. The Movie section is as sparsely populated as basic cable, but on the positive, is heavy on American International.

And, Of course they’re ad supported.

But this closes the deal: Embeddable content. That’s right. Embed your favorite show in your blog.

So, For Your viewing pleasure, here’s the "Saga of a Star World, Part 1" for Memorial Day Weekend:
