The AV Club has a brilliant and rather long interview with Patton Oswalt this week, to celebrate the comic's new CD/DVD My Weakness is Strong. (Which is worth celebrating; it's a great set.)

This is a tough time for Battlestar Galactica fans. Not only do we have to wait until January to satisfy our BSG addiction (an artificial delay so that Sci-Fi could string along viewership into 2009), it will also be a bittersweet return since the remaining 10 episodes will be the last we see of the…

I'm a big fan of Ron Moore's series, but this family drama just doesn't look interesting to me.
