2 Hour Battlestar Galactica Series Finale Not Good

shocking development,
ends with hendrix watchtower,
so does watchmen,
which starts with dylan times a changin',
do they teach this stuff at USC?
if ebert watched TV he'd give it 4 stars.

Wall-E

Many may wonder why this list is a top 9 and not the traditional top 10 and why the entries are unnumbered. Others may notice that a certain film called Blood Loss (alternately titled Day of Vengeance) is not included on this list. Therein lies the answer to the first two queries. I deliberately left an open space for Blood Loss on the list because, despite the fact that Blood Loss is perhaps the most seminal debut feature since Dark Star, I am too modest to include it on my own top 10 list. I thus left the list unnumbered so that each reader can decide for themselves where in the order to place Blood Loss.
