Adama, where did you get that name?

Our poor mis-understood Australian shepherd pup, hardly anyone knows the significance of his name. Well, here's the explanation. It comes from our favorite TV show, Battlestar Galactica. Now before you shake your head and scoff, just consider that it's one of the best drama shows in recent years, has won many awards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica_(2004_TV_series)#Awards and happens to be great SciFi too. "Adama" is the name of the commander, (played by Edward James Olmos) and also of his son, Lee.











Lee Adama is a Viper Pilot, call sign Apollo. Our pup's registered name is Kabri's Viper Pilot.

My favorite character is Kara Thrace, also a viper pilot, call sign Starbuck, but since our pup is a boy, that didn't work. Starbuck is awesome anyway!







And of course, all the guys go ga-ga over the character "number 6" even though she's really an alien.






A lot of people (who've never watched the show!) think we are very strange to be so devoted to a TV show. However, I now loan out our season 1 DVD set with a warning: "Don't start watching this unless you have a whole weekend in which to finish it! "One friend watched the entire 5 DVDs in 2.5 days. (his wife was not too happy about that!) It's just such gosh darn good entertainment!

The 4th and final season does not start until Jan '08, with a special episode to be aired in November 07 called "Razor". Razor actually takes place prior to and during the very beginning of the main story which began when the show began as a mini-series in 2003. Throw us a bone here, will ya? Could they not at least come out with the season 3 DVD's before then?? No word yet on the release date (emoticon here of eyes rolling in a disgusted way) Want more info? check out the SciFi channel website : http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/about/show/
